S4820T Dell Force10 S4820T 48-Ports 10GbE 10GBase-T RJ-45 Enterprise Network Switch with 4 x QSFP 40GB Ports

Dell Force10 S4820T

Upgrade your network with the Dell Force10 S4820T, a 48-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for virtualized server farms, private clouds and storage networks that need low latency and high bandwidth. The product line is engineered for data center and aggregation switching.

On the front panel you get 4 x QSFP 40GB, ready for copper and fiber connections as your design requires. Higher-speed 40GbE connectivity is ideal for uplinks and aggregation, keeping traffic moving when many users are active. Modular optical slots give you flexible fiber uplinks for longer distances and electrical isolation. Intelligent frame forwarding avoids flooding every port and keeps bandwidth available for real work. Fiber uplinks are immune to electrical interference, which makes them a good choice for long runs between wiring closets. Applying vendor firmware updates, where offered, is good practice for security and reliability. Switches like this form the backbone of everyday network communication, linking users to applications, storage and the internet. Reliable switching underpins every connected service, from email and file sharing to voice and video.

Mount it where air can circulate freely to support long service life. It suits top-of-rack placement, which keeps server cabling short and organized. Centralizing wired connections on one switch makes the network easier to understand and maintain. Virtualized workloads, storage traffic and east-west flows benefit from its density and speed. Leaf-spine fabrics use switches like this to connect servers and feed high-speed links to the spine. Connecting it to a UPS protects your network from brief power cuts and surges. Choose the Dell S4820T when you need a 48-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch you can rely on.
