DELL 540-BBUO Broadcom 57416 10GBase-T 2-Port network card

SKU CH-JN6C-7E6YV MPN 540-BBUO

A dual-port 10GBase-T network card using a PCI Express interface for server connectivity

  • Dual 10 GbE ports double server throughput
  • PCI Express host interface enables direct CPU connectivity
  • Two RJ-45 twisted-pair ports reuse existing copper cabling
  • Plug-in card form factor fits standard server slots
  • Broadcom 57416 controller handles 10GBase-T line-rate traffic

Dell Broadcom 57416 10GBase-T Card

This Dell Broadcom 57416 network card adds two 10GBase-T ports to a server through a PCI Express slot. It targets administrators who need 10 Gigabit Ethernet over twisted-pair copper cabling in rack or tower servers.

Dual RJ-45 ports for copper infrastructure

The two RJ-45 connectors let you use existing Cat6a or Cat7 patch cables instead of fibre transceivers. This reduces cabling cost and simplifies moves, adds and changes in dense server rows.

PCI Express host interface sets the ceiling

Bandwidth and latency are bounded by the PCI Express generation and lane count of the host server slot. The card cannot exceed the throughput that the platform’s bus and CPU root complex provide.

Questions about this item

Will the two 10GBase-T RJ-45 ports need any cable or module replacement later?

The card uses fixed RJ-45 ports for twisted-pair copper; no transceiver modules are used, so only the patch cables themselves may need replacement over time.

What limits sustained throughput on the dual-port PCI Express interface?

Each port runs at 10 Gb/s over 10GBase-T; total sustained throughput is bounded by the PCI Express host link and the two physical RJ-45 connections.

How much heat or noise does the plug-in card add when running all day in a server?

The passively cooled plug-in card has no fan; it adds only the heat from the Broadcom 57416 controller and two 10GBase-T PHYs, with no audible noise.
