Broadcom BCM57416 Ethernet 10Gb 2-port BASE-T Adapter for HPE

Key Features

• Two RJ-45 ports supporting 1 GbE and 10 GbE (10GBase-T), with speeds up to 10 Gbit/s per port over twisted-pair copper cable.

• PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface in plug-in card ("stand up") format, with sufficient bandwidth to handle both 10GbE links in high-performance environments.

• Based on the Broadcom BCM57416 controller, with typical power consumption of 16.4 W, and designed for continuous server operation.

Advanced Networking Features

• Supports RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE v1 and v2), SR-IOV, RSS, DPDK, VXLAN, NVGRE and GENEVE, optimising latency and CPU usage in virtualisation, storage and tunneled traffic.

• Includes UEFI PXE Boot and legacy PXE, Network Partitioning (NPAR), NetQueue/VMQ and IPv4/IPv6 support for hybrid cloud and modern data centre deployments.

Security and reliability

• Digitally signed firmware and root-of-trust architecture, which helps prevent malicious firmware installation and protect network infrastructure.

• RoHS-compliant and enterprise-grade design, intended for mission-critical environments with high availability.
