HPE P11688-001

Marvell QL41132HLRJ Dual‑Port 10 Gb BASE‑T Ethernet Network Adapter

The HPE P11688‑001 is a high-performance 10 Gb BASE‑T Ethernet adapter featuring two RJ‑45 ports, powered by theMarvell QL41132HLRJ chipset. Designed for Gen10 Plus HPE HPE ProLiant and MicroServer platforms, this compact plug-in card delivers high-speed copper connectivity using standard category cabling (Cat6a/Cat7), enabling fast network access without the need for fiber. With a PCI Express 3.0 ×8 interface, the adapter supports robust bandwidth and efficient data transfer. Ideal for virtualization, SMB, or mixed fabric environments, it offers advanced offload support such as RDMA, tunneling, SR‑IOV, and secure signed firmware to ensure data integrity and reduced CPU load—making it an ideal choice for demanding network workloads.

Features

Engineered to operate on a PCIe Gen3 ×8 bus, the adapter communicates directly with system memory, supporting wire-speed 10 Gbps per port. The Marvell QL41132HLRJ chipset includes built-in support for RDMA over Converged Ethernet, VXLAN/NVGRE offloads, and SR‑IOV virtualization enabling efficient packet processing and high VM density. Digitally‑signed firmware ensures root-of-trust validation, protecting against rogue modifications and enhancing infrastructure security. Diskless and standard copper deployment compatibility make it practical for existing rack setups, with wide interoperability across HPE DL and XL series servers. Integrated error correction and thermal safeguards enable stable operation across standard server ambient temperatures (0 °C–55 °C).

Advanced Options

Built for enterprise-grade reliability and efficiency, the P11688‑001 supports full throughput of 10 Gbps per port with minimal latency, ideal for virtualization, network storage, or clustered compute environments. Hardware offloads like SR‑IOV and tunnel acceleration offload CPU tasks, enabling responsive application performance and higher VM density.
