Broadcom compatible BCM5719-4P Description
EdgeOptic's 1G-NIC-I350-4T is a quad-port 1G copper NIC alternative to the Broadcom BCM5719-4P server adapter. The card is built on the Intel I350 controller rather than Broadcom's NetXtreme silicon, offered as a functional and form-factor alternative, not a Broadcom-branded part and not a chip-level equivalent.
Four RJ45 ports negotiate 10/100/1000 Mbps over Category 5 cabling up to 100 meters. The card occupies a PCI-E 2.1 x4 slot at 5GT/s or 2.5GT/s, draws a maximum of 5W at 3.3V and 12V, and measures 146mm by 69mm with a low profile bracket attached; a standard bracket ships in the box.
Network virtualization support covers SR-IOV with 8 virtual functions and VMDq with 8 pools, plus VLAN tagging per IEEE 802.1Q and QoS per IEEE 802.1p. Storage over Ethernet covers iSCSI and NFS, with iSCSI boot supported and FCoE not supported. The card also supports jumbo frames, PXE boot, Wake-on-LAN and IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation, managed through SNMP, RMON and the Intel PROSet utility.
Driver support spans Windows Server 2008 through 2022, Windows 7 through 11, RHEL, SLES, Ubuntu, VMware ESXi and FreeBSD. Operating temperature runs 0 C to 55 C, storage temperature runs -40 C to 70 C, and relative humidity is rated 5 to 90 percent, non condensing. The card carries CE, FCC and RoHS compliance.
The Broadcom BCM5719-4P and the Intel I350 come from different controller families. Broadcom markets the BCM5719 as part of its NetXtreme quad-port 1GBASE-T PCIe controller line, while the 1G-NIC-I350-4T uses Intel's I350 silicon, so drivers and management utilities differ between the two parts. Functional equivalence is at the card level: both are quad-port 1G copper RJ45 PCIe adapters for the same server slot and cabling, so match port count, bus interface and OS support rather than assume identical internals.
Server vendors also ship BCM5719-based quad-port cards under their own part numbers, including HPE's P51178-B21 Broadcom BCM5719 Ethernet 1Gb 4-port BASE-T Adapter and Lenovo's 4XC1K80847 Broadcom-based quad-port adapter. EdgeOptic does not sell these OEM-branded cards; the 1G-NIC-I350-4T is offered as an Intel I350-based alternative for the same quad-port copper PCIe role.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which OEM server vendors use Broadcom BCM5719-based quad-port cards?
HPE's P51178-B21 is a Broadcom BCM5719 Ethernet 1Gb 4-port BASE-T Adapter, and Lenovo's 4XC1K80847 is a Broadcom-based quad-port adapter for its ThinkStation line. Broadcom's own product page titles the part a quad-port 1G PCIe Ethernet NIC. EdgeOptic does not sell these OEM-branded cards; the 1G-NIC-I350-4T is an Intel I350-based alternative for the same quad-port copper PCIe role.
Is the Broadcom BCM5719 the same controller family as the Intel I350 used in EdgeOptic's 1G-NIC-I350-4T?
No. Broadcom's own product page describes the BCM5719 as a NetXtreme-family quad-port 1GBASE-T PCIe Ethernet controller, while the 1G-NIC-I350-4T is built on the Intel I350 controller. The two are different chipset families, so drivers and management utilities are not interchangeable. EdgeOptic's card is a functional and form-factor alternative, quad-port 1G copper RJ45 on a PCIe card, not a chip-level equivalent to the Broadcom part.
