Dell 540-BBUO Broadcom 57416 Dual Port 10Gb Base-T PCIe Network Adapter Full Height RJ45 Server Card

Dell Broadcom 57416 Dual Port 10Gb Base-T Network Adapter (5397184035337)

The Dell Broadcom 57416 (540-BBUO) is a high-performance PCIe network interface card (NIC) engineered for enterprise-grade server environments and high-density data centers. This adapter features dual 10Gb Base-T ports, allowing for data transfer rates of up to 10 Gigabits per second per port over standard Category 6A copper cabling. Built on the Broadcom BCM57416 controller, it supports advanced offloading technologies including RoCE v2 (RDMA over Converged Ethernet), which reduces CPU overhead and improves overall system latency. This full-height adapter is designed for seamless integration into Dell PowerEdge servers, providing reliable high-bandwidth connectivity for virtualization, cloud computing, and high-frequency trading applications. It incorporates comprehensive security features such as hardware-based Root of Trust and is fully compatible with standard 10GBASE-T, 1000BASE-T, and 100BASE-TX network infrastructures.

Key Features

* High-Bandwidth Dual Port Connectivity: Provides two 10GbE ports in a single PCIe slot, enabling network teaming for redundancy or increased throughput in mission-critical server applications.

* Efficient Copper Integration: Utilizes 10GBASE-T technology, allowing organizations to leverage existing RJ-45 copper infrastructure to achieve 10Gbps speeds without the cost of optical transceivers.

* Advanced RDMA (RoCE v2) Support: Facilitates direct memory access between servers, bypassing the OS kernel to significantly lower latency and free up CPU cycles for application processing.

* Enterprise Server Virtualization: Supports Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), allowing a single physical PCIe device to appear as multiple virtual devices, optimizing performance in virtualized environments.

* Robust Hardware Security: Incorporates silicon-level security features to ensure only authenticated firmware is executed, protecting the network infrastructure against unauthorized modifications or attacks.
