Dell Broadcom 57416 Dual Port 10Gb Base-T + Broadcom 5720 Dual Port 1Gb Base-T rNDC Network Adapter

The Dell Broadcom 57416 + 5720 rNDC Network Adapter is designed to provide flexible and high performance networking connectivity for Dell PowerEdge servers used in enterprise and data center environments.

The adapter includes two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports using Base-T RJ45 connectors, allowing high speed network connectivity over standard copper Ethernet cabling such as Cat6a or Cat7. These ports are commonly used for high bandwidth workloads including virtualization traffic, storage networks and application communication.

In addition to the 10Gb ports, the card also provides two 1 Gigabit Ethernet Base-T ports, which are typically used for management networks, backup traffic or standard server networking tasks.

This adapter uses the rNDC (Rack Network Daughter Card) form factor, which is designed specifically for Dell PowerEdge servers. The rNDC design connects directly to a dedicated network slot on the server motherboard, allowing multiple PCIe expansion slots to remain available for other components.

The card supports advanced networking features such as load balancing, failover protection, VLAN support and virtualization acceleration, helping improve network reliability and efficiency in enterprise server environments.

This network adapter is commonly deployed in enterprise servers, virtualization hosts, cloud infrastructure and data center networks, where both high speed networking and standard management connectivity are required.

With its combination of 10Gb and 1Gb Ethernet ports, the Dell Broadcom 57416 and 5720 rNDC network adapter provides a flexible and reliable networking solution for modern server infrastructures.
