Broadcom BCM5719 Ethernet 1Gb 4-port BASE-T Adapter for HPE

Product Description

The Broadcom BCM5719 Ethernet 1Gb 4-port BASE-T Adapter for HPE is a reliable, high-density Gigabit Ethernet network interface card designed to add four independent 1 Gbps copper networking ports to HPE servers. Based on the Broadcom BCM5719 chipset, this adapter supports standard 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet connections over twisted-pair cabling, delivering stable performance for data center, virtualization, and enterprise server environments.

With a PCI Express 2.0 ×4 interface, the adapter integrates easily into available PCIe slots on HPE ProLiant series servers, offering aggregated throughput suitable for typical server workloads. The four RJ-45 ports allow multiple network segments, redundancy, or combined bandwidth to be connected through a single adapter card, making it a cost-effective choice where density and flexibility are important.

The BCM5719 adapter supports essential Ethernet features including flow control, TCP/IP offloading, and virtualization-friendly technologies such as VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ, which help reduce CPU load and improve network efficiency under heavy traffic. Energy-efficient Ethernet capabilities and broad OS support — including various Linux distributions, Windows Server editions, and VMware ESXi — ensure compatibility across diverse infrastructure stacks.

Overall, this adapter is a dependable solution for expanding Gigabit connectivity in HPE server systems, balancing performance, multi-port flexibility, and broad ecosystem support.
