Overview

Introduction

The PCIe-PoE572bt is a rugged, wide-temperature dual-port 10G network adapter equipped with Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) and IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ support. Powered by the Broadcom® BCM57416 Ethernet controller, it supports jumbo frames up to 9.6 KB, making it ideal for applications such as RDMA-enabled cameras and outdoor Wi-Fi access points (APs).

As demand for 10 GigE industrial cameras grows in machine vision, traditional systems often suffer from high CPU usage due to packet handling and error checking. The PCIe-PoE572bt addresses this challenge with RDMA technology, reducing CPU usage by up to 90% compared to TCP/UDP protocols. RDMA enables direct, zero-copy data transfer to the host PC’s memory, bypassing the CPU and operating system to free up computing resources for critical tasks like image processing algorithms.

The adapter also supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE++, providing up to 90W per port to power high-consumption PoE devices. Its -25 to 70°C wide operating temperature range ensures reliable performance in harsh environments, making it an excellent choice for powering PTZ cameras and outdoor Wi-Fi APs, which frequently require more than 30W and are exposed to outdoor conditions.

For enhanced flexibility, the PCIe-PoE572bt comes in a low-profile form factor, with a non-PoE version (PCIe-N572) available for applications not requiring PoE. As the first wide-temperature 10GbE RDMA frame grabber card with PoE++ support, the PCIe-PoE572bt delivers unparalleled performance and efficiency for machine vision, outdoor surveillance, and Wi-Fi infrastructure.
