Dell Broadcom 57454 4-Port 10GbE RJ45 Network Card — 8HCGC

This is a quad-port 10GbE RJ45 network card built on the Broadcom 57454 controller, carrying Dell part number 8HCGC.

As a Dell part it is intended for PowerEdge servers with the matching slot; confirm the part number against your system. Confirm that your operating system or hypervisor release supports the adapter before installing it. Where parts look alike, the Dell part number settles which revision you have. VLAN tagging lets one physical port carry several logical networks. Server adapters like this offload checksum and segmentation work from the host processor. 10GbE over RJ45 needs Cat6a cabling for full-length runs. Separate ports can carry separate networks (management, storage and production), or be teamed for resilience and bandwidth. It comes with a low-profile bracket, for low-profile PCIe slots. RJ45 ports run over standard copper cabling, which suits management networks, general server traffic and iSCSI at moderate loads. Use the part number 8HCGC to confirm the card matches the one already in your system.

As a certified refurbished part, it is inspected, bench-tested and function-checked by our Johannesburg team before release.
