Detailed Specifications
HPE P26253-B21 - 10GbE 2-Port BASE-T Adapter
Overview :
The P26253-B21 is a dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) BASE-T network adapter designed for enterprise servers and data-center deployments. It enables two physical RJ-45 copper ports at 10 Gb/s each, allowing higher bandwidth, lower latency connectivity for virtualization, storage-networking, or high-performance compute workloads. This card installs in a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot, making it suitable for modern rack- or blade-based servers in campus, core or edge network segments. It supports offload and management features appropriate for integration with HPE Gen10 and Gen10+ server platforms and can be managed alongside HPE server infrastructure for streamlined deployment.
Key Features :
Dual RJ-45 10 Gb BASE-T ports on one adapter
PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface
Supports full 10 Gb/s line-rate per port
Compatible with HPE Gen10/Gen10+ servers
Supports OCP 3.0 open-compute form-factor
