Dual-port 10GBASE-T server NIC

The Broadcom BCM957416A4160C P210TP is a dual-port 10GBASE-T network interface card built for enterprise and cloud-scale servers. It connects through a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and delivers line-rate, full-duplex throughput on two RJ45 connectors. The adapter supports 10 GbE and 1 GbE speeds and runs on a wide range of server operating systems including Windows Server, Linux distributions, VMware ESX, vSphere and Hyper-V.

Suited for virtualised and storage-heavy workloads

The card targets deployments that need high server bandwidth for virtualisation, NVMe-oF storage, high-performance computing, telco or machine-learning clusters. Its TruFlow engine accelerates vSwitch processing and the NIC partitioning feature supports 16 physical functions to increase VM density. Buyers who require fibre connectivity, 25 GbE or higher speeds, or a low-profile bracket for space-constrained chassis should consider other models.

Hardware offloads and security features

Broadcom's TruManage suite improves server manageability and security in data-centre deployments. The BroadSAFE Silicon Root of Trust provides platform-level security while the on-board congestion-avoidance engine anticipates and eliminates congestion before it affects throughput. Support for RoCE, SDN and NFV offloads reduces CPU overhead for networking tasks, letting the host processor focus on application workloads instead of packet processing.

Questions about this item

What PCIe slot generation and lane width does the BCM957416A4160C need to reach its rated 10 GbE speed?

The card uses a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface, so a compatible x8 or x16 slot is required for full 10 GbE line-rate performance on both ports.

Will the P210TP negotiate down to 1 GbE if I connect it to older Cat5e patch panels and 1 GbE switches?

Yes, the adapter supports 10/1 GbE speeds and will auto-negotiate to 1 GbE over existing Cat5e or Cat6 cabling and legacy switch ports.

How can I verify that both 10GBASE-T ports are operating at line rate after installation?

Check the link LEDs for 10 GbE indication, confirm driver reports 10 Gbps full duplex on each port, and run a bidirectional throughput test such as iperf3 to validate near 10 Gbps wire speed.
