Lenovo ThinkSystem Broadcom 57454 10GBASE-T 4-Port PCIe Ethernet Adapter

The Broadcom 57454 controller appears in two forms in the ThinkSystem range, and the Lenovo ThinkSystem Broadcom 57454 10GBASE-T 4-Port PCIe Ethernet Adapter, part number 4XC7A08245, is the copper one: four RJ45 ports at 10GbE.

Four copper ports suit servers on sites that have twisted-pair cabling and 10GBase-T switch ports. No optics or direct attach cables are needed, and the ports can serve separate networks or be grouped. The card installs in a PCIe slot.

The controller name matters if you manage driver baselines. Broadcom, Intel and QLogic cards offer the same port layout under different controller names, and operating system images are often validated against one family. Match what your servers already run.

Check connector type before ordering, too. A fiber-style card with the same controller name has a different part number and takes pluggable modules, not twisted-pair cable.

Offers for this part are refurbished and used. Refurbished cards carry a warranty choice of 1 year or 3 years, and used cards carry 90 days. No new offer is listed. Send your quantity and server model when you request pricing.
