225-3588 Dell PowerConnect 8164F 48-Port 10 Gigabit SFP+ + 2 x 40 Gigabit QSFP+ Layer 3 Managed Rack-Mountable Network Switch

Dell PowerConnect 8164F 225-3588

Dell's PowerConnect 8164F, part number 225-3588, is a 48-port managed Layer 3 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch that brings 10 Gigabit Ethernet aggregation switching to backbone deployments where high throughput, redundancy and routing capability are critical. The product line is engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet aggregation switching.

The port configuration is 2 x 40 Gigabit QSFP, so you can connect end devices and uplinks to suit your design. Higher-speed 40GbE connectivity is ideal for uplinks and aggregation, keeping traffic moving when many users are active. Fiber-ready transceiver slots extend your network across floors, buildings or campuses with the optic of your choice. Because it follows Ethernet standards, it works alongside equipment from other manufacturers. Cabled connections avoid the interference and congestion that can affect wireless networks.

Full management capabilities let your IT team tune performance, enforce policies and monitor every port. Its Layer 3 feature set supports inter-VLAN routing, so traffic between departments does not have to travel to a separate router. Link aggregation combines multiple ports into one logical link for extra bandwidth and resilience. VLAN segmentation isolates sensitive systems from general user traffic. A simple port plan, with end devices on one side and uplinks on the other, makes expansion easier later. Diagnostic features help engineers trace faults and analyze traffic without extra hardware.

The rack-mountable design makes installation straightforward in its intended location. Adding this unit expands capacity without a costly network redesign. This Dell model creates a tidy, central hub for all wired devices in the area it serves. Choose the Dell 225-3588 when you need a 48-port managed 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch you can rely on.
