Review: High Speed SFP Duals Card that just works! - This is the second one I have purchased. It is a backup in case the one I currently have goes bad. I use this in my pfsense machine I build from an old HP SFF desktop. It's extremely stable and very fast throughput. I have used it in windows as well and the driver support is plug and play. I have never had an issue with it and love having dual connectivity as I use it to support multiple VLANS. This helps me maximize my home network. Very good value for the money.
Review: Perfect Solution for 10G on Ubuntu Linux 22.04.2 Highly Recommended - My use case is a personal development network with two high end desktop workstations, one with AMD Ryzen 9 and the other with Intel i7. Both are running Ubuntu Linux 22.04.2 PRO and I am using a Mikrotik CRS306-4S-1N switch. Both Desktop systems have this board and cable into the switch with 6COM 6C-SFP-10G-T SFP+ 10G RJ45 Adapters and CAT8 cabling. As soon as everything was plugged in the systems came right up and everything was fast and sweet. Don't forget to plug in the backhaul cable from the switch to your in-house network feed otherwise no DHCP and the 10G connections don't com up. Highly recommended. This is plug and play and the most practical sense. Installation time was about an hour and that include putting boards in two machines, running cables, attaching adapters and installing switch. "Settings/Network/Ethernet/Wired/enp11s0f0 showed connected at 10000 Mb/s immediately.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you know is this will work in either a Dell PowerEdge 2950 (9th Gen) or PowerEdge 2650 (6th gen) server?**
A: Thank you for your question . It could work if your server has PCI-E X8 X16 slot , and supports the operating system that Broadcom BCM57810S NIC compatible.
You are welcome to have one to test.

**Q: If you insert an SFP+ module that supports both 10g and 2.5g, and connect to a remote 2.5g switch port, will it work?**

**Q: Does this card work with the cisco sfp+ ??**
A: It has worked with every sfp+ cable we have thrown at it, probably a total of 5 various cables coded for different manufacturers. I will say though, we have not specifically tested with Cisco.

**Q: Does this card work with server 2016 and esxi 6.7?**
A: Yes, HiFiber's 10Gb NIC card for Broadcom BCM57810S could work with server 2016 and esxi 6.7.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy setup, works great!!
*by S***N on June 6, 2024*

I have multiple Jellyfin servers, and installed 1 10g nic in the Windows platform and 1 in the Ubuntu platform. Ubuntu connected with native drivers and Windows was an easy download, install BAM, both of these budget 10g nic's using DAC cables are getting me 300+ transfer speeds. As for how long they last, well I'll update a review if reliability becomes an issue. They do get hot when loaded for long periods, so I placed a 40mm Noctua blowing directly on just one, so if it dies, temp specifically won't be the factor. So far, a fantastic product, priced right and super fast shipping!
