Broadcom BCM5719-4P Internal Wired PCI Express Ethernet Network Interface Card

Network congestion can cripple a server’s performance, especially when you need reliable, high-speed connections for multiple workloads. The Broadcom BCM5719-4P Internal Wired PCI Express Ethernet Network Interface Card is a four-port Gigabit Ethernet card that plugs directly into a PCIe slot, giving you full line-rate throughput on each port and keeping your data flowing smoothly.

Key Features of a 1Gbps Network Card

• Ports: 4 x Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45. Four independent connections let you separate traffic or increase bandwidth.
• Data Transfer Rate: 1Gbps. Each port delivers full gigabit speed for fast file transfers and low latency.
• Interface (Bus) Type: PCI Express 2.0 x4. Provides a high-speed lane for the card to communicate with the host system.
• Flow Control: Enabled. Helps prevent packet loss during heavy traffic bursts.
• Energy Efficient Ethernet: Supported. Reduces power consumption when the link is idle.
• Jumbo Frames: Supported. Allows larger packets for improved efficiency in data-intensive applications.
• Virtualisation Support: 17 receive and 16 transmit queues with 17 MSI-X vectors. Optimises performance in VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ environments.
• Time Synchronisation: Hardware clock and timestamp registers for IEEE 1588/802.1AS. Ideal for precise timing requirements.

Why Choose Broadcom Network Card

If you run a multicore server, a virtualised environment, or a data-centre rack, you know how frustrating it is to juggle limited network ports and uneven traffic loads. Many cards force you to choose between speed and the number of connections, leaving you with bottlenecks or extra hardware. This Broadcom card gives you four full-speed ports in a low-profile form factor, so you can consolidate traffic, improve redundancy and keep your servers running at peak efficiency without extra adapters.

Benefits of Broadcom Network Card

• High Throughput: Full 1Gbps per port ensures fast data movement across all connections.
• Reduced Power Use: Energy Efficient Ethernet cuts electricity costs during idle periods.
• Virtualisation Ready: Multiple queues and MSI-X vectors boost performance for virtual machines.
• Precise Timing: Built-in clock and timestamps support strict synchronisation standards.
• Easy Deployment: Low-profile design fits into compact servers and supports PXE boot for quick setup.

Usages of a 1Gbps Network Card

This card is perfect for enterprise servers, virtualisation hosts, storage arrays and high-performance computing nodes where you need multiple reliable gigabit links, such as separating management, backup, and production traffic or building network-bonded clusters.
