What form factor is the Dell CXN89 Broadcom 57412 NIC designed for?

According to its model description, this adapter is an OCP Network Interface Card 3.0. Being part of the OCP Network Interface Card category and explicitly labeled as 3.0 means it is intended for systems that support the OCP NIC 3.0 form factor, allowing integration into compatible server platforms using that slot standard.

Is the Dell CXN89 Broadcom 57412 suitable for enterprise environments?

Yes, the product level is specified as Enterprise. This classification indicates that the Dell CXN89 Broadcom 57412 Dual Port 10GbE Base-T OCP Network Interface Card 3.0 is positioned for enterprise use, aligning with the requirements of data center and business-focused deployments rather than small office or consumer scenarios.

How many network ports are available on the Dell CXN89 Broadcom 57412 card?

The adapter is described as a Broadcom 57412 Dual Port 10GbE Base-T OCP Network Interface Card 3.0. The term Dual Port makes clear that the card is intended to provide two network ports, and the category confirms it as a Dual Port 10GbE Base-T adapter for dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

What kind of infrastructure planning does the Dual Port 10GbE Base-T classification support?

Because the card is categorized as Dual Port 10GbE Base-T, infrastructure planning can assume two 10GbE Base-T links per adapter. This helps teams design network topologies, link aggregation strategies, and port counts on switches while staying aligned with the specified dual 10GbE Base-T capability of the NIC.
