Built on a 5nm process, the devices can drive passive copper cables up to five metres or linear pluggable optics transceivers and Broadcom’s high-radix Ethernet switches using mainstream air-cooling technology.
The adapters use Broadcom’s sixth generation-hardened NIC architecture. The adapter software, designed to be vendor agnostic, supports a broad ecosystem of CPUs, GPUs, PCIe and Ethernet switches using open PCIe and Ethernet standards in line with Broadcom’s objectives as a founding member of the Ultra Ethernet Consortium.
The adapters are broadly available from multiple server vendors, as well as from Broadcom.
