Broadcom 200 Gb/s QSFP56 PCIe 4.0 x16 NIC

The Broadcom BCM957508-P1200G is a single-port 200 Gb/s network interface card built for PCI Express 4.0 x16 slots. It accepts QSFP56, QSFP28 and QSFP+ transceivers or direct-attach copper cables. The adapter supports speeds of 200, 100, 50, 40, 25 and 10 GbE for enterprise and cloud-scale workloads.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This card suits servers that need a single 200 Gb/s link with SR-IOV virtualisation, TruFlow flow processing, vSwitch acceleration and RoCE for storage or compute clusters. It is not for systems that lack a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot or that require multiple ports on one bracket. Buyers needing fibre-channel or InfiniBand native protocols should choose a different adapter.

Deciding specification — PCIe 4.0 x16 interface

The PCI Express 4.0 x16 interface determines whether the host can deliver full line-rate throughput. A server limited to PCIe 3.0 or fewer lanes will bottleneck the 200 Gb/s capability. Verify the motherboard or riser provides an x16 Gen 4 slot before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 200 Gb/s QSFP56 card generate when running continuously?

The card draws power through the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot and does not require an auxiliary power connector, so heat output is limited to what the slot can supply.

What must already be in the server for this BCM957508-P1200G to operate?

A free PCI Express 4.0 x16 slot and a compatible QSFP56, QSFP28 or QSFP+ transceiver or direct-attach cable are required.

Will the P1200G work alongside older 10 GbE or 25 GbE switches we still use?

Yes, the adapter auto-negotiates down to 10, 25, 40, 50 or 100 Gb/s speeds to interoperate with existing infrastructure.
