Dual-Port Gigabit Server NIC

The SMUGDESK BCM5720-2P adds two independent RJ45 ports to a server or workstation through a PCIe 2.0 x1 slot. Each port auto-negotiates 10/100/1000Mbps over Cat5e or Cat6 cabling. A passive heatsink supports continuous 24/7 operation in rack or tower chassis.

Suits virtualised hosts and storage appliances

Hardware offload for RSS, TSO, LRO and full IPv4/IPv6 checksum processing reduces CPU load during heavy traffic. VMQ and NetQueue support integrates with Windows Server, Linux, VMware ESXi and iSCSI boot environments. Buyers needing 10GbE or fibre uplinks should consider a different adapter class.

Full-height and low-profile brackets included

Both mounting brackets ship in the box so the card fits standard 2U racks and compact SFF systems without extra hardware. No software CD or licence key is bundled; drivers are downloaded from the OS vendor or Broadcom repositories.

Questions about this item

Does the BCM5720-2P need a PCIe 2.0 x1 slot to work?

It runs on any PCIe x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 slot; the card uses a 2.0 x1 electrical interface and is backward compatible with those wider slots.

Will the SMUGDESK NIC work with my existing Cat5e cables?

Yes, the two RJ45 ports auto-negotiate 10, 100 and 1000 Mbps over Cat5e or Cat6 cabling.

How do I confirm the jumbo-frame setting is active on this card?

In your OS network settings, set the MTU to 9600 and run a ping test with the do-not-fragment flag to verify large frames pass through.
