Are you looking to reduce network congestion and improve cable management at the servers in your HP ProLiant Gen8 environment? The HP Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 530T Adapter is a dual-port 10GBASE-T adapter, featuring the BCM57810S 10 Gb Ethernet solution from Broadcom in a PCIe 2.0 compliant form factor designed for HP ProLiant Gen8 rack and tower servers. The HP 530T Adapter delivers full line-rate performance across all ports with low power consumption, utilizing CAT 6A UTP cabling with distances up to 100 meters.

Providing high performance Ethernet connectivity, it is ideal for virtual server and cloud computing environments. It supports enterprise class features (VLAN tagging, adaptive interrupt coalescing, MSI-X, NIC teaming (bonding), Receive Side Scaling (RSS), jumbo frames, PXE boot) and virtualization features (VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ).

The adapter's support for HP Sea of Sensors 3D Technology enhances server performance by reducing energy consumption and expense.
