About this part
Refurbished Dell Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1GbE rNDC, the gigabit daughter card for the rNDC slot in Dell 13th and 14th gen PowerEdge servers. The rNDC (rack Network Daughter Card) is Dell's mezzanine LOM for 13th and 14th gen rack servers: it sits on its own connector, so the onboard ports never cost a PCIe slot. Swapping it changes the built-in fabric.

Compatibility
It fits only the dedicated rNDC connector on the motherboard: not a PCIe slot, not the bNDC slot in Dell PowerEdge blade servers, and not 14th gen models built around a LOM riser instead of an rNDC. 15th and 16th gen servers moved to OCP NIC 3.0; this card does not fit them. All four ports are 1000Base-T RJ45; there is no upgrade path to 10GbE on this card, so a later speed change means a different rNDC. Browse matching parts for the Dell PowerEdge R730.
When to Choose This
The 5720 quad 1GbE is the rNDC Dell shipped as the default on most of these servers, and it is the one we quote for domain controllers, file servers and hosts whose real traffic runs over PCIe NICs. Shops standardized on Intel drivers take the Intel i350 quad 1GbE instead. Anything carrying vMotion or iSCSI deserves the Broadcom 57416 or Intel X710 10GbE rNDC.
