Silver PCIe card with four open SFP+ cages and a dense aluminium heatsink, full and low profile brackets included

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Quad Port 10G SFP+ PCIe 3.0 x8 BCM57840 Network Card

SKU CH-A3TV-N3Y34

Four-port 10G SFP+ PCIe 3.0 x8 NIC with Broadcom BCM57840 controller for virtualisation, storage and link aggregation

  • Four 10 GbE ports for high-density bandwidth aggregation
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 8 GT/s bandwidth fits x4/x8/x16 slots
  • Broadcom BCM57840 offloads TCP/UDP/IP checksum, TSO/LRO and storage protocols
  • SR-IOV, VMDq, RSS, 9000 MTU jumbo frames, 802.1Q VLAN, LACP, IEEE 1588 PTP
  • Full-height and low-profile brackets included for rack and SFF chassis

Four-port 10G SFP+ converged NIC

This SMUGDESK adapter uses a Broadcom BCM57840 controller to deliver four independent 10GbE connections through open SFP+ cages. It targets server and workstation builders who need multi-link bandwidth aggregation, storage convergence or virtual-host networking in a single PCIe slot.

Installation uses standard PCIe 3.0 x8 slot

The card fits PCIe x4, x8 or x16 motherboard slots and ships with both full-height and low-profile brackets for rack or SFF chassis. Buyers must supply compatible 10G transceivers, DAC or AOC cables; the open cages accept 1G SFP modules for mixed-speed deployments but provide no onboard copper ports.

PCIe 3.0 x8 bandwidth caps aggregate throughput

Four 10G lanes share an 8 GT/s x8 link, so sustained line-rate traffic on all ports simultaneously can saturate the bus. Jumbo frames up to 9000 MTU and features such as 802.1Q VLAN, LACP, PTP 1588 and DCB are supported, yet total host bandwidth remains limited by the single x8 interface.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the BCM57840 card is operating at full 10G speed after installation?

Verify link status in the OS network manager or switch port LEDs showing 10G connectivity; check driver statistics for 10GbE throughput and confirm jumbo frames up to 9000MTU are passing without errors.

Which brackets and transceivers are included versus sold separately?

Both full-height and low-profile brackets are supplied in the box; SFP+ transceivers, DAC cables or AOC fiber cables must be purchased separately to match your switch and distance requirements.

Should I choose the quad-port version or a dual-port model for my virtualization host?

The quad-port BCM57840 provides four independent 10G SFP+ interfaces with SR-IOV and VMDq, ideal for separating VM traffic, storage and management networks on a single PCIe 3.0 x8 slot.
