Because of its high performance and comparatively low cost, 10GbE CX4 is a highly effective fabric for connectivity within high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. As the term "cluster" implies, HPC platforms are typically located in close proximity to each other, generally well within the 15-meter range of 10GbE CX4 connectivity.

This being the case, 10GbE CX4 provides an excellent connectivity solution for . Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 server adapters are used in each server for server-to-server connectivity through the stacked Fujitsu XG700 switches. In addition to their low unit cost, the Fujitsu XG700 switch has a low profile and small footprint, making it ideal for stacking to provide high-density 10GbE CX4 switching. This low profile is a result of full integration of the 12-port switch onto a single LSI chip. The high level of integration also results in lower power consumption, which is also a critical consideration in high-density HPC cluster environments.
