Description
The HPE Intel I350-T4 Ethernet Adapter (P08449-B21) is a quad-port 1Gb network card built for reliable, high-throughput server networking. With four RJ‑45 BASE-T ports, it allows cost-effective deployment using existing copper infrastructure.
Intel’s I350 controller provides advanced features such as virtualization offloads (SR-IOV), VLAN tagging, and TCP/UDP checksum offloads, minimizing CPU utilization while maximizing throughput. Its OCP3 form factor ensures seamless integration into HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers, supporting high-density deployment in data centers.
