HPE Broadcom BCM57416 Ethernet 10Gb 2-poorts BASE-T OCP3 intern 10000 Mbit/s

The HPE Broadcom BCM57416 Ethernet 10Gb 2-port BASE-T OCP3 is a 10 Gigabit wired network adapter designed for HPE Gen10 Plus servers and data center environments. With two BASE-T ports and a PCI Express host interface, this adapter delivers up to 10,000 Mbit/s per port to support high-speed wired connectivity for servers, hybrid cloud services, mobile data and streaming video applications.

Advantages

The adapter is engineered for bandwidth- and latency-sensitive workloads and reduces CPU utilization by supporting I/O offloads such as RDMA and tunneling. It integrates with HPE server and network ecosystems to maintain consistent performance across components. Firmware authentication and a root-of-trust architecture help prevent installation of rogue firmware, improving reliability and security.
