Description

The Dell 00FCGN 0FCGN Broadcom 5720 Dual Port Ethernet PCI-Express NIC Card offers a range of advanced features designed to enhance network connectivity and performance, making it a reliable choice for data centers, enterprise environments, and high-performance applications. Refer here…

Dual-Port Ethernet Connectivity

The 00FCGN 0FCGN NIC features two Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing for simultaneous network connections. This dual-port setup provides redundancy, load balancing, and improved throughput, essential for high-demand network environments. The RJ45 connectors offer flexibility for standard network cable connections.

PCI-Express Interface

The card is equipped with a PCI-Express 2.1 x4 interface, ensuring high-speed data transmission and minimal latency. This PCIe interface supports faster data transfer speeds, making it ideal for servers with high traffic demands. It’s backward compatible with PCIe 1.0 slots, ensuring broader compatibility.

Advanced TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE)

The Broadcom 5720 chipset supports TCP/IP offloading, which reduces the CPU load by handling networking tasks. This enables better overall system performance, particularly for high-performance computing and server applications, by freeing up CPU resources for other tasks.

Jumbo Frame Support

Supporting jumbo frames, the card can transmit large data packets (greater than the standard 1500 bytes), reducing overhead and improving network efficiency. This feature is especially useful in data-intensive applications like large file transfers, database operations, or virtualization workloads.

VLAN Tagging and Wake-on-LAN

VLAN tagging support allows the card to work seamlessly in virtualized networks by enabling the identification and segmentation of traffic across multiple virtual networks. Wake-on-LAN functionality enables remote system wake-up over the network, which is essential for server management.

Operating System Compatibility

The 00FCGN card is compatible with multiple operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware, ensuring its integration into diverse IT environments.

With these advanced features, the Dell 00FCGN NIC is well-suited for demanding server applications, ensuring both speed and reliability in network communication. Know more in our Blog.
