About the Broadcom BCM957502A1020C 25GbE OCP NIC 3.0 Adapter
Built on PCIe 4.0 x8 architecture, the Broadcom BCM957502A1020C delivers high-bandwidth host connectivity with sufficient lane width to support demanding enterprise workloads. This 25GbE OCP NIC 3.0 adapter harnesses the Broadcom BCM57502 NetXtreme-E controller to enable sub-microsecond latency and wire-speed packet processing across dual SFP28 ports, making it ideal for data center engineers, network architects, and IT infrastructure teams deploying next-generation converged storage and compute environments.
The BCM957502A1020C (part number BCM957502A1020C) integrates advanced offload engines including TSO, LSO, LRO, RSS, and Checksum Offload to reduce CPU overhead and maximize application throughput. Support for RoCEv2 (RDMA over Converged Ethernet v2), SR-IOV virtualization, and DCB/IEEE 802.1Qbb Data Center Bridging ensures seamless integration into QoS-sensitive and multi-tenant environments. Jumbo frame support up to 9600 bytes, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, IEEE 802.3x and Priority Flow Control (PFC), and comprehensive management via Broadcom NetXtreme Management Interface with NCSI support combine to deliver carrier-grade reliability and operational visibility. Linux (RHEL, SLES, Ubuntu) and Windows Server compatibility rounds out a flexible deployment story.
