Product Description
The Dell PowerConnect 8164 (PCT8164) is a robust and high-performance network switch engineered for the demanding requirements of modern data centers. It is designed to serve as a core or aggregation switch, providing high-density, high-speed connectivity for servers, storage, and other network devices. The switch boasts a substantial port count, featuring 48 ports that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet over twisted-pair copper cabling (10GBase-T), ensuring broad compatibility with a wide range of enterprise equipment. Complementing the 10GbE ports, the PowerConnect 8164 includes two uplink ports utilizing the QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) interface, each capable of operating at 40 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. These high-speed uplinks are crucial for connecting the switch to the network core, other aggregation switches, or high-performance servers, preventing bottlenecks and ensuring efficient data flow. The QSFP+ standard offers flexibility, allowing these ports to be used as 40GbE or broken out into multiple 10GbE connections depending on the specific transceivers and configuration. This switch typically offers advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, including features like VLANs, QoS, static routing, and potentially dynamic routing protocols, enabling sophisticated network segmentation and traffic management. Its rack-mountable form factor ensures easy integration into standard data center racks. The Dell PowerConnect series is known for providing reliable and scalable networking solutions, and the 8164 model represents a powerful option for organizations seeking high-density 10GbE connectivity with high-speed uplinks.
