Network speeds are slowing you down and upgrading cabling seems costly. The HPE BCM57416 10Gb 2-port 10GBase-T PCIe Network Interface Card gives you a fast, secure 10 Gb Ethernet link using your existing Cat 6A runs, so you can boost performance without a full rewiring project.
Why Choose HPE Network Interface Card
With this card you experience instant, reliable 10 Gb connectivity that feels like a natural extension of your current server. It plugs into a standard PCIe slot and works with the same RJ-45 ports you already have, delivering smoother data flow and lower CPU load for everyday workloads.
Benefits of HPE Network Interface Card
- Faster transfers: Move large files and virtual machines quickly, cutting wait times.
- Lower CPU usage: Off-loaded packet processing frees resources for critical applications.
- Simple upgrade: Uses existing Cat 6A cabling, avoiding expensive rewiring.
- Enhanced security: Secure Boot and firmware authentication protect against rogue code.
- Energy efficient: Typical power draw of 14.64 W keeps operating costs down.
