HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-Port 530T Adapter

HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-Port 530T Adapter – High-Speed Network Performance for Enterprise Servers

The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-Port 530T Adapter (656596-B21) is a high-performance network interface card designed to deliver fast, reliable, and scalable connectivity for modern data centers and enterprise servers. Built with the powerful Broadcom/QLogic 57810S controller, this adapter provides dual-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet over standard RJ-45 copper cabling, giving businesses an affordable way to upgrade their network performance without investing in expensive fiber infrastructure.

Designed for HPE ProLiant Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 servers, the 530T adapter enhances network throughput, reduces latency, and improves virtualization performance through advanced technologies such as SR-IOV, TCP/UDP offload, and intelligent load balancing. It supports a wide range of workloads including virtualization hosts, database servers, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, and high-density compute environments.

The adapter supports 10GBASE-T at distances up to 100 meters using Cat6a cables, making deployment extremely flexible. It is fully compatible with modern network standards, including VLAN tagging, jumbo frames, iSCSI offload, network partitioning, and IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation. Its robust feature set ensures consistent and secure data transfer even in demanding, high-traffic situations.
