Arcserve Appliance 10000 serie - Broadcom BCM57416 Dual-Port Base-T (NAADR010FLNBDPN00G)

Data growth and virtualization put immense pressure on backup and disaster recovery infrastructures. The Arcserve Appliance 10000 series demands a network adapter that can keep pace with 10 Gigabit throughput while maintaining compatibility with existing copper cabling. The Broadcom BCM57416 dual-port 10GBASE-T PCIe adapter delivers exactly that, providing two independent 10GbE ports over standard RJ-45 connections, eliminating the need for costly fiber upgrades.

Who is it for

This adapter is engineered for IT administrators and system integrators deploying Arcserve Appliance 10000 series systems in data centers, remote offices, or managed service provider environments. It is ideal for organizations that require high-speed backup, replication, and disaster recovery over existing Cat6a/Cat7 copper infrastructure, or those building new 10GbE networks with a preference for backward compatibility with 1GbE and 100MbE devices.

Main features

• Dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) with RJ-45 connectors for copper cabling.
• Broadcom BCM57416 controller with PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface for maximum bandwidth.
• Supports IEEE 802.3an (10GBASE-T), 802.3ab (1000BASE-T), 802.3u (100BASE-TX), and 802.3 (10BASE-T) for multi-speed operation.
• Hardware offloads for TCP/IP, iSCSI, FCoE, and PXE boot to reduce CPU load.
• SR-IOV support for efficient virtualization and VM density.
• Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) for reduced power consumption during low utilization.
• Jumbo frame support up to 9 KB for improved large-transfer performance.
• LED indicators for link, activity, and speed per port.
• Compatible with Windows Server, Linux, VMware ESXi, and Citrix XenServer.

Tips

For optimal 10GBASE-T performance, use Cat6a or Cat7 cabling up to 100 meters. The adapter is backward compatible with existing 1GbE and 100MbE networks, allowing phased upgrades. Ensure your Arcserve Appliance 10000 series has an available PCIe x8 or x16 slot and adequate airflow for reliable operation.
