Lenovo ThinkSystem Broadcom 57414 10/25GbE SFP28 2-Port PCIe Ethernet Adapter

The Lenovo 4XC7A08238 is a two-port Ethernet adapter that brings 10 and 25 gigabit connectivity to ThinkSystem servers or any system with an available PCIe slot. With dual SFP28 optical interfaces, it offers a straightforward path to higher bandwidth without a full platform refresh.

A PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface links each port to the server, while the onboard Broadcom BCM57414 controller drives throughput up to 25 Gbps per port. This added capacity helps eliminate I/O bottlenecks for virtualization clusters, software-defined networks, and storage-heavy tasks such as data analytics and media streaming.

The card handles standard TCP IP traffic and supports advanced technologies used in modern data centers, including RoCE for low latency communication, SDN, NFV, and server virtualization. Administrators can allocate bandwidth to virtual machines, speed east-west traffic, and scale cloud services without re-cabling the rack.

Global safety and electromagnetic compliance let the adapter integrate smoothly into Lenovo ThinkSystem environments and mixed vendor deployments. The result is connectivity that is reliable and high speed, ready to keep pace with demanding applications.
