Broadcom P150P Εσωτερική οπτική ίνα PCI Express 50000 Mbit/s Ενσύρματο

The Broadcom P150P Internal Fiber PCI Express 50GbE NIC is a server-grade network adapter based on Broadcom’s scalable NetXtreme-E architecture. It provides a single 50 Gbit/s fiber interface over a PCIe connection and integrates hardware acceleration engines to deliver high throughput and lower CPU overhead for enterprise, telco and cloud-scale networking and storage workloads.

Advantages

The P150P combines a high-bandwidth Ethernet controller with on-chip acceleration for tunneling and flow processing, enabling increased VM density and reduced CPU utilization compared with software-only networking. It supports advanced networking technologies used in modern data centers, including RoCE, SDN and NFV, and is optimized for use cases such as NVMe-oF and high-performance computing where server-to-server bandwidth and low latency are critical.

Suitable for

• Enterprise and cloud data center servers
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Telco and edge networking equipment
• Storage disaggregation and NVMe-oF deployments
• Machine learning and data analytics workloads

Key specifications

• Brand: BROADCOM
• Model / MPN: BCM957414A4140C (P150P)
• Interface: PCI Express (internal)
• Connectivity technology: Wired, fiber
• Maximum data transfer rate: 50000 Mbit/s (50 Gbit/s)

How to use

Install the P150P into an available PCIe slot on a compatible server motherboard and secure the card according to the server vendor’s instructions. Connect the optical fiber transceiver or compatible cable to the card’s 50GbE fiber port and configure the operating system network driver provided by Broadcom or the server vendor. For optimal performance, ensure firmware and driver versions match the deployment requirements and verify link settings and MTU as needed for your network topology.

Recommendations

Use the Broadcom P150P in systems where high server-to-server bandwidth and hardware offload for tunneling (Geneve, VXLAN, NVGRE) are required. Keep drivers and firmware up to date, and pair the card with compatible switches and optical modules that support 50GbE to achieve expected throughput and latency characteristics.
