High Peak HPE Broadcom BCM57412 Ethernet 10Gb 2-port SFP+ Adapter

This dual-port 10GbE adapter brings enterprise-grade connectivity to HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 server platforms. Built around the Broadcom BCM57412 controller, it delivers line-rate throughput while offloading TCP/IP, iSCSI, and FCoE processing to free up host CPU cycles. The low-profile design fits dense environments, and the SFP+ interface offers flexible cabling options from direct-attach copper to fiber optics.

Highlights

• Two 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports for high-bandwidth networking
• PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface for ample signal bandwidth
• Advanced offload: TCP/IP, iSCSI, and FCoE
• Virtualization-ready with SR-IOV and NPAR
• Energy Efficient Ethernet reduces power consumption during low traffic
• PXE boot support enables network-based deployment

In daily use

Whether you are consolidating storage traffic or building a software-defined network, this adapter handles demanding workloads with ease. Jumbo frames up to 9KB improve efficiency for large transfers, while RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) supports low-latency clustering. The card is compatible with Microsoft Windows Server, RHEL, SLES, and VMware ESXi, making it a straightforward upgrade for most server environments.
