Lenovo ThinkSystem Broadcom 57416 10GBASE-T 2-Port OCP Ethernet Adapter

Two 10GBASE-T ports on an OCP 3.0 module define the Lenovo ThinkSystem Broadcom 57416 10GBASE-T 2-Port OCP Ethernet Adapter, part number 4XC7A08236. The controller is Broadcom 57416 and both ports use RJ45 connectors at 10GbE.

Because the form is OCP 3.0, the adapter occupies a server's OCP slot and leaves the standard PCIe slots free for storage controllers, accelerators or other network cards. That is a common reason to choose OCP: network access without spending a PCIe slot.

Copper 10GbE with RJ45 connectors works with twisted-pair cabling and with switches that have 10GBase-T ports, so no transceivers are needed. Two ports give you a redundant pair or a data and management split.

Always verify the slot type. A PCIe-form card with the same controller has a different part number and will not fit an OCP slot.

The 4XC7A08236 is offered in new, refurbished and used condition. New and refurbished carry a choice of 1 year or 3 years of warranty. Used units carry 90 days. Send your quantity and server model when you request pricing.
