Dell 0R17GD Force10 S60 2 x Ports 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ Optical Uplink Module

Product Description

The Dell 0R17GD is a specialized network module designed for the Dell Force10 S60 switch, providing essential high-speed uplink capabilities. This module features two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, each utilizing the SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) interface. The SFP+ standard is crucial for delivering high-bandwidth connectivity, enabling data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbps per port. This makes the 0R17GD module ideal for connecting the S60 switch to higher-tier network infrastructure, such as core switches or routers, or for aggregating traffic from multiple 1Gbps access ports. As an optical uplink module, the 0R17GD is intended for use with compatible SFP+ optical transceivers (sold separately). These transceivers allow for high-speed data transmission over fiber optic cabling, supporting longer distances compared to copper connections. This is particularly important in data center environments or large campus networks where extended reach is required for inter-switch connectivity. By integrating the 0R17GD module into a Dell Force10 S60 switch, network administrators can significantly enhance the network's overall capacity and performance. It facilitates the creation of a robust network backbone capable of handling demanding applications and a growing volume of data traffic. This module is a key component for building scalable and efficient network architectures that meet the performance requirements of modern businesses.
