Product Description

The Dell Networking S4048T-ON switch, identified by part number 622GT, is a high-performance, high-density 1U rackmount switch engineered for demanding data center environments. It provides a versatile port configuration featuring 48 ports that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) via SFP+ transceivers, ideal for connecting servers and storage devices. Additionally, it offers six ports capable of 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) using QSFP+ transceivers, which can be used for high-speed uplinks to the core network or for inter-switch connectivity. This switch operates at Layer 3, enabling advanced routing capabilities essential for modern data center network architectures, including virtualization and cloud deployments. Its high throughput of 1.28 Tbps and forwarding rate of 960 Mpps ensure efficient data transfer with minimal latency. The S4048T-ON is designed for Top-of-Rack (ToR) deployments, simplifying cabling and improving network performance by bringing high-speed connectivity closer to the servers. The S4048T-ON switch supports the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE), allowing for flexible installation of various network operating systems (NOS), such as Dell's own OS10, or third-party options like Cumulus Linux or SONiC. This open approach provides choice and agility in network management. Built with reliability in mind, it includes support for redundant power supplies and fans, ensuring high availability and continuous operation critical for data center uptime.
