Also listed as: BCM957416, NetXtreme-E 57416 10GBASE-T, BCM57416, BCM957416A4160CC · made by Broadcom
The Broadcom NetXtreme-E BCM57416 is a dual-port 10GBASE-T copper Ethernet adapter that connects enterprise servers to Cat6A twisted-pair infrastructure up to 100 meters. Featuring hardware RoCEv2 RDMA and TruFlow protocol engine, it supports 10G/1G auto-negotiation and delivers low power consumption relative to older 10G copper cards. When buying used 10GBASE-T adapters, inspect RJ-45 port pins for bent contacts, verify heatsink clip tension, and confirm firmware is updated to prevent known PXE boot anomalies.

About the BCM957416A4160C
BCM957416A4160C is Broadcom's NetXtreme-E dual-port 10GBASE-T PCIe 3.0 x8 copper Ethernet adapter based on the BCM57416 controller. It connects enterprise servers to existing RJ-45 Cat6/Cat6A structured cabling up to 100 meters, offering RoCEv2 RDMA, TruFlow SDN offloads, and auto-negotiation between 10G and 1G speeds with lower power consumption than earlier 10G copper cards.
Compatibility
Compatible with standard PCIe 3.0 x8 and x16 slots in enterprise servers from Dell, Lenovo, HPE, and Supermicro. Connects via standard RJ-45 copper patch cords. Operates at 10Gbps up to 100 meters on Cat6A cabling and up to 55 meters on standard Cat6 cabling. It is not an optical SFP+ card.
How to identify a genuine unit
The low-profile card features two RJ-45 Ethernet ports with integrated activity LEDs and a Broadcom label reading BCM957416A4160C. In Linux, ethtool and lspci identify the BCM57416 NetXtreme-E 10GBase-T controller supported by the in-tree bnxt_en driver.
Buying used
Inspect the RJ-45 jack pins for corrosion or mechanical distortion. Verify that the passive heatsink thermal clips are tight and that thermal paste is intact. Test that both ports negotiate 10Gbps speed when connected to a 10GBASE-T switch without dropping packets.
