Dell 4D4GD 24x 1/10GbE SFP+ Network Switch Module Line Card

Product Description

The Dell 4D4GD is a high-density network switch line card engineered to expand the port capacity and performance of compatible Dell modular switches. This line card is equipped with twenty-four SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) ports, which are capable of operating at both 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) speeds. This dual-speed capability provides flexibility, allowing network administrators to deploy it in environments requiring either 1GbE connectivity for end devices or 10GbE for high-speed uplinks and server connections. The SFP+ interface ensures broad compatibility with a wide range of transceivers, including fiber optic modules for various distances and direct-attach copper (DAC) cables for short-reach, cost-effective connections. The high port density of 24 SFP+ ports makes this line card an excellent choice for aggregation layers, where it can consolidate traffic from numerous access switches, or for high-performance access layers connecting servers and other bandwidth-intensive devices. This Dell 4D4GD line card is a key component for building scalable and high-performance enterprise networks. It enables organizations to increase their network's throughput and support demanding applications by providing a significant number of high-speed Ethernet ports. Its integration into Dell's modular switch chassis allows for easy deployment and management, contributing to a flexible and robust network infrastructure.
