Product Description
The Broadcom N150G is a single-port 50GbE OCP 3.0 Small Form Factor Ethernet adapter built on Broadcom's NetXtreme-E BCM57502 ("Thor Jr") controller, sized for mainstream enterprise and cloud servers that need efficient mid-range bandwidth without the cost or power of a 100G adapter. The port runs over a QSFP28 cage at up to 50Gbps and auto-negotiates down to 25/10GbE, connecting to the host through a PCIe Gen4 x8 interface. The N150G carries the same feature set as its 100G siblings: RoCEv2 RDMA offload with advanced congestion control accelerates storage and virtualization traffic, and TruFlow performs line-rate virtual-switch and tunnel offload to reduce host CPU load. A silicon Root-of-Trust anchors secure boot and attestation, multi-host connectivity lets several CPUs share the adapter, and NIC partitioning divides it into independent physical functions. TruManage rounds out the package with standards-based remote manageability for fleet-scale deployments.
