The LENOVO ThinkSystem Broadcom 57416 10GBASE-T 2-Port PCIe Ethernet Adapter is a high-performance network card designed specifically for Lenovo ThinkSystem servers. Featuring dual 10 GbE RJ45 ports, it supports copper cabling standards including Cat 6, Cat 6a, and Cat 7 to deliver blazing-fast network speeds with low latency.

Equipped with the robust Broadcom BCM57416 controller and leveraging Broadcom TruFlow technology, this adapter offers advanced network offloads such as TCP/UDP/IP checksum offload, Large Send/Receive Offload (TSO/LRO/LSO), and Receive Side Scaling (RSS) for efficient packet processing.

Virtualization capabilities are enhanced with NIC partitioning (NPAR), SR-IOV supporting up to 128 virtual functions, and tunnel/overlay offloads including VXLAN, NVGRE, Geneve, and GRE. Additionally, vSwitch acceleration and multiqueue technologies optimize VM and network performance.

The adapter plugs into a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and comes in a low-profile PCIe form factor, enabling easy integration into server chassis. Engineered for reliability and efficiency, it is a cost-effective solution for high-speed Ethernet connectivity in enterprise environments.
