Dell 04KWHC Force10 36 x 1000BT + 6 x SFP + 2x SFP+ Ethernet Line Card

Product Description

The Dell 04KWHC, also known as a Force10 Ethernet Line Card, is a high-performance networking module designed to enhance the connectivity capabilities of compatible Dell Force10 switches. This card offers a substantial port density, combining traditional copper Gigabit Ethernet ports with flexible fiber optic options for both standard Gigabit and 10 Gigabit speeds. Its versatile port configuration makes it suitable for a wide range of network architectures, from enterprise data centers to campus networks. With 36 integrated 1000BT (Gigabit Ethernet) copper ports, this line card provides ample connectivity for end devices, servers, and other network equipment requiring high-speed wired connections. Complementing the copper ports are six SFP slots, allowing for the use of various Gigabit Ethernet transceivers to connect to fiber optic infrastructure or longer-distance links. Furthermore, the inclusion of two SFP+ ports enables 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, crucial for high-bandwidth uplinks, server connections, or storage area network (SAN) integration. This line card is engineered to deliver robust switching performance, supporting advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features. It is an ideal solution for network aggregation, where multiple access layer switches connect to a central point, or for deployments requiring a high concentration of network ports within a single switch chassis. The 04KWHC card is a key component for building scalable, high-performance, and resilient network infrastructures within the Dell ecosystem.
