The HPE BCM57416 10GbE 2-port BASE-T Adapter delivers comprehensive offload capabilities including TSO, LRO, RSS, checksum offload, VLAN tag insert/strip, and interrupt moderation to maximize throughput while reducing CPU overhead. Built around the Broadcom BCM57416 controller, the P26253-B21 provides two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports using standard RJ-45 connectors, requiring Cat6a cabling at minimum with Cat7 recommended for 100-meter runs at 10GbE line rate. The adapter connects via PCIe 3.0 x8 interface in a low-profile form factor, integrating directly into HPE ProLiant Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers without occupying excessive slot space. Energy-efficient operation is built in through IEEE 802.3az support, reducing power consumption during lower-traffic periods.
Network engineers and infrastructure teams deploying HPE ProLiant environments choose this adapter to consolidate connectivity while maintaining high performance and reliability. The device supports SR-IOV for virtualization workloads, enabling efficient resource sharing across virtual machines in VMware vSphere ESXi, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and Windows Server environments. HPE iLO and HPE OneView management integration streamlines deployment, monitoring, and firmware updates through the HPE Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP), ensuring centralised control across distributed infrastructure. As a genuine HPE product, the P26253-B21 qualifies for HPE single-pane support entitlement, a critical requirement for mission-critical enterprise deployments.
The adapter meets CE, FCC, and RoHS regulatory requirements, confirming suitability for global deployments including the UAE market. For procurement teams evaluating 10GbE connectivity solutions within HPE ecosystems, this adapter provides proven Broadcom controller technology in an HPE-validated package.
