Frequently Asked Questions

Does this NIC support SR-IOV?

Yes — the BCM57414 supports SR-IOV for hardware-level network virtualization, enabling multiple VMs to share the physical NIC with near-native performance.

Can I use SFP28 DAC cables with this adapter?

Yes — the 25GbE SFP28 ports support DAC (Direct Attach Copper) cables, AOC (Active Optical Cables), and standard SFP28 optical transceivers.

Is a low-profile bracket available?

The BCM957414A4141DD includes a full-height bracket. For low-profile server installations, verify if a low-profile bracket is available separately or consider a low-profile variant.
