Dell 4KWHC Force10 36 x 1000BT + 6 x SFP + 2 x SFP+ Ethernet Line Card

Description

The Dell 4KWHC is a high-density Ethernet line card designed for Dell's Force10 networking switches, such as the M-Series chassis. This line card provides a versatile combination of port types to support a wide range of network connectivity needs. It features 36 x 1000BT ports, which are standard Gigabit Ethernet copper interfaces (RJ-45), ideal for connecting end-user devices like workstations, IP phones, and printers, as well as for server connections where Gigabit speeds are sufficient. In addition to the copper ports, the 4KWHC includes 6 x SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports. These ports can accommodate either Gigabit Ethernet fiber optic transceivers or copper transceivers, offering flexibility for longer-distance connections or integration with different network segments. The SFP ports are commonly used for uplinks to core network devices or for connecting to other switches. Furthermore, the card is equipped with 2 x SFP+ ports, which support 10 Gigabit Ethernet. These higher-speed ports are crucial for high-bandwidth uplinks to aggregation layers, core switches, or high-performance servers and storage arrays. The inclusion of both Gigabit and 10 Gigabit ports on a single line card makes the Dell 4KWHC a powerful solution for network aggregation, providing a flexible and scalable way to connect a large number of devices while offering high-speed uplinks for demanding traffic.
