Broadcom BCM957412A4120AC Dual-Port 10GbE SFP+ Network Interface Card

Dual-Port 10GbE Connectivity for Data Center Servers

The Broadcom BCM957412A4120AC is a dual-port 10 Gb/s Ethernet network interface card designed for data center and cloud computing environments. Built around the Broadcom BCM57412 Ethernet controller, the adapter combines two 10GbE SFP+ ports with a PCI Express Gen3 x8 host interface for high-speed server networking.

Each pluggable media interface supports either a 10G SFP+ optical transceiver or copper direct-attach cable. The adapter also provides hardware capabilities for virtualized and converged networking, including SR-IOV, RDMA over Converged Ethernet, TruFlow flow processing, VXLAN and NVGRE encapsulation and decapsulation, and vSwitch acceleration.

Key Benefits and Features

• High-Speed Connectivity: Dual 10GbE SFP+ ports for optical or copper direct-attach connectivity
• PCIe Host Interface: PCI Express Gen3 x8 host bus compliance
• Virtualization Offloads: SR-IOV support with up to 128 Virtual Functions
• Low Latency Networking: RoCE support for converged Ethernet workloads
• Hardware Offloads: Stateless offloads for VXLAN, NVGRE, GRE, IPv4, IPv6, TCP, and UDP processing

Ideal Use Cases

• Data center server networking
• Cloud computing infrastructure
• Virtualized server environments
• Converged Ethernet and RDMA workloads
