Dell 0Y5M76 R1-2401 8 x Ports 1GbE Layer 2 Switch Module

Product Description

The Dell 0Y5M76, also identified by part number R1-2401, is a network switch module engineered to provide robust Layer 2 switching capabilities. This module is equipped with eight Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) ports, allowing for high-speed network connections to various end devices such as computers, servers, and other network appliances. Its primary function is to facilitate efficient data transfer within a local area network (LAN) by intelligently forwarding network traffic based on MAC addresses. Designed for seamless integration into compatible Dell networking hardware, such as specific Dell server or switch chassis, this module expands the network port density and capabilities of the host system. As a Layer 2 switch, it operates at the data link layer of the OSI model, managing traffic flow within a single network segment or VLAN. This makes it ideal for building out core network infrastructure, access layer connectivity, or expanding existing network capacity. The 8 x 1GbE ports offer significant bandwidth for typical business and enterprise network needs, supporting data rates of up to 1000 Mbps per port. This ensures that connected devices can communicate effectively without becoming a bottleneck. The modular design allows for flexibility in network configuration and simplifies upgrades or replacements, making the Dell 0Y5M76 a valuable component for enhancing network performance and connectivity within a Dell infrastructure.
