Dell 0WF5HH 57840S 4 x Ports 10GBase-X Blade Network Daughter Card

Product Description

The Dell 0WF5HH, based on the Broadcom 57840S controller, is a high-performance network daughter card specifically engineered for integration into Dell blade server chassis. This card provides four independent 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports, each utilizing SFP+ transceivers, enabling high-speed, low-latency network connectivity essential for demanding enterprise workloads. The 10GBase-X standard ensures compatibility with a wide range of 10GbE infrastructure, including fiber optic cabling and transceivers. Designed as a mezzanine card, the 0WF5HH fits directly into the dedicated expansion slots (mezzanine slots) of compatible Dell blade servers. This integration maximizes internal space and ensures a direct, high-bandwidth connection to the server's PCIe bus, minimizing bottlenecks and maximizing data throughput. The quad-port configuration offers significant flexibility, allowing for multiple network connections, link aggregation for increased bandwidth and redundancy, or connections to different network segments or storage fabrics. This network daughter card is crucial for environments that require substantial network I/O, such as high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, large-scale virtualization deployments, data-intensive applications, and high-frequency trading platforms. By providing four 10GbE interfaces, the Dell 0WF5HH empowers blade servers to handle massive amounts of data traffic efficiently, supporting the performance needs of modern data centers and enterprise IT infrastructures.
