HPE Broadcom BCM57412 Ethernet 10GbE 2-Port SFP+ OCP3 Adapter

The HPE Broadcom BCM57412 10GbE 2-Port SFP+ OCP3 Adapter delivers high-speed network connectivity for HPE ProLiant servers in enterprise data centers. It helps businesses handle demanding workloads such as virtualization, cloud computing, and high-performance applications with ease.

The adapter includes two SFP+ ports, each supporting speeds of up to 10 Gbps. You can use compatible fiber optic transceivers or direct attach copper (DAC) cables with these ports. This flexibility allows deployment in both short-distance and long-distance networking environments.

The adapter runs on the Broadcom BCM57412 network controller and connects through a PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface. This setup ensures fast communication between the server and the network. It also delivers high throughput with low latency, which is essential for enterprise performance.

The card uses the OCP 3.0 form factor, so it fits directly into compatible HPE ProLiant servers. It does not require a standard PCIe slot. This design improves expansion flexibility and helps optimize internal server space.

The adapter supports advanced networking features such as RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), SR-IOV virtualization, and VLAN tagging. It also includes tunnel offload technologies like VXLAN and NVGRE. These features improve network efficiency and reduce CPU load in virtualized environments.

For security, the adapter includes firmware root of trust and digitally signed firmware validation. These features protect the system from unauthorized firmware changes and ensure secure network operations.

HPE designs this adapter for ProLiant Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers, ensuring full compatibility and reliable performance. It works well in data centers, virtualization clusters, and cloud infrastructure environments.
