What cabling does the BCM957412-P210TGF0S support?

Supports Category 6a and Category 7 copper cabling up to 100 meters for 10GBASE-T operation. Eliminates SFP+ transceivers and fiber requirements, reducing deployment costs while maintaining full 10Gbps performance across standard data center copper infrastructure.

Is this adapter compatible with OCP 3.0 servers?

Yes, designed specifically for OCP NIC 3.0 Small Form Factor specification. Fully compatible with Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, and Lenovo ThinkSystem servers supporting OCP 3.0 slots with management through standard BMC interfaces including Redfish API.

What virtualization features are supported?

Includes SR-IOV with 128 virtual functions, VMware NetQueue receive side scaling, Microsoft VMQ, and DPDK poll-mode drivers. Enables 100+ VMs per host with dedicated hardware queues preventing NIC bottleneck in dense virtualization deployments.

Does it support RDMA for storage fabrics?

Supports RoCEv2 (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) for NVMe-oF and SMB Direct storage protocols. Hardware offload reduces latency to sub-microsecond levels while scaling to 75K IOPS per port, ideal for Ceph, GlusterFS, and disaggregated storage architectures.

What is the power consumption profile?

Consumes under 15W total for dual-port operation including full offload features. Typical active power 12.5W per port with idle modes under 3W/port, meeting hyperscale power density requirements for 48-64 NICs per rack unit equivalent.

Are firmware updates supported?

Yes, supports firmware updates through server BMC platforms, Broadcom SDK tools, and standard drivers. Includes NCSI 2.0 management interface for out-of-band configuration, statistics monitoring, and remote PHY diagnostics.

Product overview

The Broadcom BCM957412-P210TGF0S is a dual-port 10GBASE-T Open Compute Project (OCP) 3.0 network interface card designed for high-performance data center environments. Featuring two 10Gbps RJ45 copper ports over PCIe 3.0 x8 interface, it provides 20Gbps aggregate bandwidth ideal for virtualization, cloud computing, and high-frequency trading applications requiring low-latency networking. This adapter supports advanced features including RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), Precision Time Protocol (PTP), and VMware NetQueue for optimized VM performance. The OCP 3.0 form factor ensures seamless integration with modern rack servers from Dell, HPE, and other OCP-compliant platforms, enabling flexible network disaggregation in hyperscale deployments. Key benefits include hardware offload for TCP/IP, iSCSI, and FCoE protocols reducing CPU utilization by up to 50%, MSI-X interrupt handling for multi-core scalability, and support for jumbo frames up to 9K. Operating across 0-55°C temperature range with low power consumption under 15W, it delivers carrier-grade reliability with MTBF exceeding 2 million hours. Targeted at datacenter operators seeking cost-effective 10GbE connectivity without SFP+ transceivers, the BCM957412 eliminates cabling complexity while maintaining wire-speed performance for east-west traffic patterns in NFV and SDN architectures.
