DELL 61J1X Broadcom 57402 10G SFP+ Card

Product Description

The Dell 61J1X is a high-performance dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) network adapter card, powered by the Broadcom BCM57402 controller. This card is engineered to meet the demanding bandwidth requirements of modern data centers and enterprise environments, providing two independent 10Gbps connections. The use of SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) connectors allows for flexible deployment with various optical transceivers or direct attach copper cables, catering to different network topologies and distances. This adapter utilizes a PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) interface, ensuring high bandwidth communication with the server's motherboard. The dual-port design is ideal for network redundancy, load balancing, or for connecting to separate networks (e.g., management network and data network). The Broadcom BCM57402 chipset is known for its efficiency, low power consumption, and robust feature set, including support for advanced networking technologies like virtualization offloads (e.g., SR-IOV) and quality of service (QoS) features, which are critical for virtualized environments and high-performance computing. Specifically designed and validated for Dell PowerEdge servers, the 61J1X ensures seamless integration and optimal performance within the Dell ecosystem. It is an essential component for applications requiring high throughput, such as storage area networks (SANs), high-frequency trading, large-scale data analysis, and high-definition video streaming. The card's ability to deliver 10Gbps per port provides a substantial increase in network throughput compared to traditional 1GbE adapters.
