Lenovo Broadcom 57414 10/25GbE SFP28 2-port PCIe Internal Ethernet

The Lenovo Broadcom 57414 10/25GbE SFP28 2-port PCIe Ethernet adapter is a high-performance internal network card designed for data centers and enterprise servers. It provides two SFP28 ports supporting 10 GbE and 25 GbE links over a PCI Express host interface, delivering increased throughput and low latency for virtualized and high-bandwidth environments. The adapter supports advanced networking features such as RoCE, SDN and NFV and incorporates TruFlow intelligent flow processing to optimize traffic handling.

Advantages

The adapter offers dual-port 10/25GbE connectivity in a compact PCIe form factor, enabling higher network density and improved bandwidth per server. TruFlow flow processing and support for RoCE reduce CPU overhead and improve performance for latency-sensitive workloads. Broadcom-based design ensures compatibility with industry networking standards and common server platforms. The card’s wired Ethernet interface and PCI Express host interface provide predictable, reliable network performance for enterprise deployments.
