Two 10Gb Fiber Uplinks From a Single PCIe Slot
Two 10Gb SFP+ ports, a PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface, and hardware offloads including RDMA make the HPE Broadcom BCM57412 (P26259-B21) a dense, low-overhead network adapter for HPE ProLiant servers. It adds 10 Gigabit fiber connectivity through a single expansion slot while keeping CPU utilization down. Explore more HPE hardware or other network interface cards.
Built For
The BCM57412 targets Gen10 Plus ProLiant servers running bandwidth-heavy and latency-sensitive workloads: virtualization hosts, storage networks, and database tiers that need fast east-west traffic. Its two SFP+ cages accept fiber or direct-attach transceivers for 10GbE links to top-of-rack switches, and I/O offloads such as RDMA and tunneling move work off the CPU so more cycles stay with your applications.
Key Capabilities
- Dual 10Gb SFP+ ports: two 10GBase-X fiber-ready ports on one card, up to 10 Gbps each.
- PCIe 3.0 x8: 8000 MB/s of host bandwidth in a standup form factor.
- Broadcom BCM57412 controller with RDMA and tunneling offloads to reduce CPU utilization.
- Root-of-trust firmware authentication guards against rogue or unsigned firmware.
- Part of the HPE Gen10 Plus Ethernet adapter family, engineered for ProLiant servers.
