Cisco UCSC-M-V5Q50G is a VIC 15428 Virtual Interface Card with four 10/25/50G SFP56 ports in an mLOM form factor for UCS C220 M6, UCS C240 M6, UCS C225 M6 and UCS C245 M6 rack servers. The mLOM bay keeps the PCIe risers free for other adapters. The Cisco UCS C220 M6 network adapter fits the motherboard mLOM slot and presents Ethernet and FCoE connections through the rack server fabric path. C-Series M6 buyers use the 10G, 25G or 50G far end that matches the selected Cisco SFP cable or optic. VIC 15427 is the successor form of the same 4-port mLOM adapter with secure boot. Before the PO, confirm M6 generation on the chassis label.

PCIe 4.0 x16 host connectivity gives VIC 15428 its rack-server interface, and 4GB DDR4 memory at 3200 MHz resides on the adapter. 512 virtual adapters and interfaces create independent NIC and HBA personalities from the service profile. 27.4W maximum power and 167.6 mm depth set the slot power and mLOM clearance checks. UCSC-M-V5Q50G carries FCoE, iSCSI boot, RoCEv2, PTPv2 for Linux, SR-IOV, VXLAN, NVGRE and GENEVE offloads. UCS Manager and Intersight manage fabric-interconnect deployments; Cisco IMC and Intersight manage standalone switch deployments. UCSM and IMM release 4.2(2) or later is the recommended release for this adapter, and standalone Cisco IMC release 4.2(2) is the recommended release. Operating-system families are VMware vSphere, Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Citrix XenServer, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Ubuntu.
UCSC-M-V5Q50G is offered new sealed and certified refurbished. Certified refurbished adapters are inspected and bench-tested in a compatible host; firmware version verified and every port links at rated speed. Specify the required Cisco SFP56, SFP28 or SFP+ optics or cables, because the adapter does not use third-party links. New sealed units carry up to 3-year extended warranty, and certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year; returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply. Regional stock and RMA with advance replacement cover UK, EU, US and MEA buyers; PO accepted and Net-30 for government.

An operations team with a failed C220 M6 or C240 M6 mLOM card needs the same VIC 15428 behavior, not a riser adapter. UCSC-M-V5Q50G keeps the four 10/25/50G SFP56 ports in the mLOM bay. Before the PO, confirm the M6 generation and mLOM bay in inventory.
A platform team adding network ports to a C225 M6 or C245 M6 uses the mLOM bay when riser slots must remain free. The adapter gives the server four external SFP56 ports and a PCIe 4.0 x16 host path. Before the PO, match the host to the M6 PID.
A fabric team connecting rack servers through UCS-FI-6332, UCS-FI-6454, UCS-FI-64108 or UCS-FI-6536 must select media and speeds that the fabric interconnect accepts. The adapter runs 10G, 25G or 50G ports. Before the PO, match each SFP cable or optic to the far-end release.
M7 or M8 rack servers
UCSC-M-V5Q50G is the M6 PID. C220 M7, C240 M7 and C-Series M8 ordering uses UCSC-M-V5Q50GV2D or the platform-specific D form instead.
Secure boot requirement
VIC 15428 does not carry secure boot. Choose UCSC-M-V5Q50GV2 for M6 rack servers that need the 4-port 10/25/50G mLOM replacement with secure boot.
200G mLOM uplinks
VIC 15428 tops out at 50 Gbps per port. Choose UCSC-M-V5D200GV2 for a C-Series mLOM adapter with two 40/100/200G QSFP56 ports.
PCIe riser installation
UCSC-M-V5Q50G is an mLOM card, not a riser card. Choose UCSC-P-V5Q50G for a C-Series M6 PCIe adapter with four 10/25/50G SFP56 ports.

UCSC-M-V5Q50G is the Cisco UCS VIC 15428 Quad Port CNA MLOM, a C-Series mLOM Virtual Interface Card. The base PID applies to M6 rack servers. UCSC-M-V5Q50G= is the spare form, and UCSC-M-V5Q50G-RF is the Cisco-remanufactured form; certified refurbished is a separate ORM condition.
UCSC-M-V5Q50G fits UCS C220 M6, UCS C240 M6, UCS C225 M6 and UCS C245 M6 rack servers in the mLOM bay. The non-D PID applies to M6 servers. M7 and M8 rack servers take UCSC-M-V5Q50G-D or UCSC-M-V5Q50GV2D for the same adapter family.
A UCS C220 M6 uses UCSC-M-V5Q50G in the mLOM bay for four 10/25/50G SFP56 ports. The same mLOM group also contains UCSC-M-V5D200G, UCSC-M-V5Q50GV2, UCSC-M-V5D200GV2, UCSC-M-V25-04 and UCSC-M-V100-04. PCIe riser network adapters use separate PCIe PIDs.
UCSC-M-V5Q50G has four 10/25/50G SFP56 ports, a PCIe 4.0 x16 host interface, 4GB DDR4 memory at 3200 MHz and 27.4W maximum power. VIC 15428 measures 13.5 mm high, 63.5 mm wide and 167.6 mm deep, so the mLOM bay must be clear.
UCSC-M-V5Q50G ports run at 10 Gbps, 25 Gbps or 50 Gbps through SFP+, SFP28 or SFP56 media. The far-end fabric interconnect or top-of-rack switch must match the selected speed, cable type and release. 10G connections do not run through UCS-FI-6536.
UCSC-M-V5Q50G uses Cisco SFP media, not third-party cables or optics. 50G choices include SFP-50G-SR-S, SFP-50G-SL and SFP-50G-CU1M through SFP-50G-CU5M. 25G choices include SFP-25G-SR-S, SFP-25G-SL and SFP-H25G-CU1M through SFP-H25G-CU5M. 10G choices include SFP-10G-SR and SFP-H10GB-CU1M through SFP-H10GB-CU5M.
UCSC-M-V5Q50G installs in the mLOM bay of UCS C-Series M6 rack servers. C220 M6, C225 M6, C240 M6 and C245 M6 each have one mLOM or mLOM/OCP bay for this card. Extra Cisco VIC capacity uses PCIe PIDs in the riser slots.
UCSC-M-V5Q50G uses UCSM or IMM release 4.2(2) or later as the recommended release with VIC firmware 5.2(2) or later. Standalone C-Series deployments use Cisco IMC release 4.2(2) or later as the recommended release. Management runs through UCS Manager, Intersight or Cisco IMC.
Yes, UCSC-M-V5Q50G carries Ethernet and FCoE on the same VIC 15428 ports. RoCEv2 is part of the NVMe over Fabrics feature set. The adapter also carries iSCSI boot, SR-IOV, PTPv2 for Linux, usNIC, DPDK, NetFlow, VMQ/VMMQ, VXLAN, NVGRE and GENEVE offloads.
UCSC-M-V5Q50G is the base M6 orderable PID. UCSC-M-V5Q50G= is the spare form for the same adapter, and UCSC-M-V5Q50G-RF is Cisco-remanufactured. UCSC-M-V5Q50G-D is the M7 ordering form, and UCSC-M-V5Q50GV2 adds secure boot as the replacement PID.
The replacement for UCSC-M-V5Q50G is UCSC-M-V5Q50GV2. The replacement is VIC 15427, a 4x 10/25/50G mLOM C-Series adapter with secure boot. It fits UCS C-Series M6 rack servers. Before the PO, confirm the M6 generation and secure-boot requirement on the chassis label and running inventory.
Secure boot is the difference between UCSC-M-V5Q50G and UCSC-M-V5Q50GV2. UCSC-M-V5Q50G is VIC 15428 without secure boot, and UCSC-M-V5Q50GV2 is VIC 15427 with secure boot. Choose UCSC-M-V5Q50G for like-for-like M6 sparing and the V2 PID when secure boot is required.
Port speed and connector are the difference between UCSC-M-V5Q50G and UCSC-M-V5D200G. UCSC-M-V5Q50G provides four 10/25/50G SFP56 ports. UCSC-M-V5D200G provides two 40/100/200G QSFP56 ports for the same C220 M6, C240 M6, C225 M6 and C245 M6 host set.
Form factor is the difference between UCSC-M-V5Q50G and UCSC-P-V5Q50G. UCSC-M-V5Q50G uses the mLOM bay in C-Series M6 rack servers. UCSC-P-V5Q50G uses a PCIe riser slot and keeps the same 4-port 10/25/50G SFP56 class for rack-server expansion.
Cisco stopped selling UCSC-M-V5Q50G on 27 July 2024. Cisco has not announced a last date of support for UCSC-M-V5Q50G. The PID serves UCS C220 M6, UCS C240 M6, UCS C225 M6 and UCS C245 M6 rack servers, with UCSC-M-V5Q50GV2 as the replacement.
ORM Systems offers UCSC-M-V5Q50G new sealed and certified refurbished. New sealed units carry up to 3-year extended warranty, and certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year. Returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply. PO accepted, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement apply.
