DELL HN10N 57810S 10GBase-T dual-port switch module

SKU CH-FDDT-PG4V1 MPN HN10N

A 10GBase-T dual-port PCI Express card that adds two RJ-45 10GbE links to a server

  • Dual 10 GbE ports deliver high-speed server connectivity
  • PCI Express host interface ensures broad server compatibility
  • Twisted-pair RJ-45 media support uses existing copper cabling
  • Broadcom 57810S controller provides reliable 10GBase-T performance
  • Plug-in card form factor fits standard server expansion slots

10GBase-T dual-port server adapter

This refurbished Dell HN10N module adds two 10GBase-T RJ-45 ports to a server through a PCI Express slot. It is built around the Broadcom 57810S controller and targets administrators upgrading rack or tower servers to 10 gigabit copper networking. The plug-in card form factor fits standard server expansion bays.

Suited for copper 10 GbE links; not for fibre

The card serves environments that already use Cat6a or better twisted-pair cabling and need dual 10 GbE connections without changing the physical medium. It does not support SFP+ fibre transceivers, so sites requiring optical uplinks or direct-attach cables must choose a different adapter.

PCI Express host interface decides fit

Compatibility hinges on the server having an available PCI Express slot that matches the card’s electrical and mechanical requirements. Without that slot the module cannot be installed, regardless of the network cabling in place.

Questions about this item

Will the RJ-45 ports or the PCI Express host interface need replacement first?

The two RJ-45 ports and the PCI Express host interface are soldered to the plug-in card; there are no user-serviceable parts, so the module is replaced as a unit if a port or the interface fails.

Does the 10GBase-T link or the PCI Express host interface hit its throughput ceiling first under sustained load?

Each port runs at 10 Gbit/s over twisted pair, and the PCI Express host interface carries the combined traffic; the link speed of 10 Gbit/s per port is the first hard limit you will reach.

How much heat does the Broadcom 57810S card add to a server running all day?

The plug-in card draws power from the PCI Express slot and has no active cooling; it adds only the heat normal for a dual-port 10GBase-T controller, which the server's existing airflow is designed to handle.
