Dell 5C1J6 N2128PX-ON 24x PoE+4x PoE 100/1000/2.5G/5G 2x SFP+ Switch

Product Description

The Dell 5C1J6, identified as the N2128PX-ON, is an advanced multi-gigabit switch designed to address the increasing demands of modern network edge deployments. It features 24 ports that support speeds of 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, and 5 Gbps, making it ideal for connecting high-performance devices such as the latest Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, IP cameras, and other bandwidth-intensive endpoints. All 24 of these ports are equipped with PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) capabilities, providing up to 30W per port, with a substantial total PoE budget of 450W, simplifying deployment by delivering both data and power over a single Ethernet cable. Complementing the multi-gigabit access ports are two SFP+ uplink ports, capable of 10 Gbps speeds, which provide high-bandwidth connectivity to the network core or aggregation layer. As an 'Open Networking' (ON) switch, the N2128PX-ON offers flexibility in terms of operating system choice, allowing organizations to deploy it with compatible network operating systems (NOS) for customized network solutions. This switch supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionalities, enabling advanced traffic management, routing, and network segmentation. The N2128PX-ON is engineered for high performance, boasting a switching capacity of 176 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 131 Mpps, ensuring efficient data handling even under heavy loads. Its comprehensive feature set, combined with its multi-gigabit and PoE+ capabilities, makes it a powerful and future-proof solution for enterprise campuses, branch offices, and other environments requiring robust connectivity and power delivery at the network edge.
