SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK BCM5719-4P Quad Port Gigabit PCIe Server NIC

SKU CH-WWJ5-SC146

Adds four independent gigabit RJ45 ports through a single PCIe 2.1 x4 slot with full and low-profile brackets included

  • Four independent RJ45 ports deliver simultaneous 1000Mbps throughput with auto-negotiation
  • PCIe 2.1 x4 interface fits x4, x8 or x16 slots with both brackets included
  • Broadcom BCM5719 offloads TCP, UDP, IPv4, IPv6, TSO, LSO, RSS and MSI-X to reduce host CPU load
  • SR-IOV and VMDq virtualization support cuts CPU overhead for multi-tenant workloads
  • PXE boot, Wake-on-LAN, 9.6KB jumbo frames, 802.1Q VLAN and IEEE1588 clock sync enable data-centre deployment

Four-Port Gigabit Server NIC

The SMUGDESK BCM5719-4P adds four independent RJ45 ports through a single PCIe 2.1 x4 slot using the Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5719 chip. It targets administrators who need simultaneous 10/100/1000Mbps links for virtualization hosts, NAS clusters, soft routers or firewalls without recabling existing Cat5e or Cat6 runs.

Thermals, Noise and Power Draw

A passive heatsink on the single-chip design dissipates heat without a fan, keeping the card silent in standard rack or compact SFF chassis. Low power consumption suits 24/7 operation across Windows Server, Linux, VMware ESXi 5/6/7/8 and FreeBSD platforms. Both full-height and low-profile brackets are included for flexible mounting.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Enterprise offload engines handle TCP/UDP/IPv4/IPv6 checksums, TSO/LSO, RSS and MSI-X interrupts to reduce host CPU overhead during continuous traffic. SR-IOV and VMDq support lets virtual machines share the four physical ports efficiently. PXE legacy and UEFI boot, WOL, 9.6KB jumbo frames, 802.1Q VLAN and IEEE1588 precision clock sync remain active under prolonged data-center workloads.

Questions about this item

How do I install the BCM5719-4P in a low-profile chassis?

Fit the included low-profile bracket, insert the card into any PCIe 2.1 x4, x8 or x16 slot, and secure the bracket screw; the passive heatsink needs no extra clearance.

What maintenance does the passive heatsink require?

Blow dust from the fins with compressed air every few months; the heatsink has no fan or thermal-pad replacement schedule.

When will the PCIe 2.1 x4 link become the bottleneck?

All four ports can run at 1000 Mbps line rate simultaneously; the x4 interface provides enough bandwidth for full gigabit throughput on every port.
