The Dell S5248F-ON Switch 48x 25GbE SFP28, 2x 200GbE QSFPDD OS10 Enterprise is built to handle that load. If your current switch slows down traffic, drops packets or cannot add new servers, you lose time and money. This switch gives you the speed and reliability you need to stay ahead. It also supports modern protocols and can grow as your traffic increases, giving you a long-term investment.
Dell S5248F-ON Switch 48x 25GbE SFP28, 2x 200GbE QSFPDD OS10 Enterprise
Enterprises today face the problem of bandwidth bottlenecks as applications demand more than 10 GbE connections. When the network cannot move data quickly, user experience suffers and critical services may fail. The Dell S5248F-ON solves this by offering 48 ports of 25 GbE and two ports of 200 GbE, delivering up to 2 Tbps of switching capacity. It removes the choke point, lets you scale without replacing the whole chassis, and keeps your network ready for future growth. In addition, the switch uses a typical power draw of 310 W, keeping operating costs low, while the OS10 interface provides simple CLI and API control for automation.
Benefits
- High switching capacity eliminates congestion, so applications run faster and users notice no lag.
- Dual 200 GbE ports provide future-proof bandwidth for data-intensive workloads.
- Hot-swappable power supplies and fans keep the network running even during maintenance.
- Built-in OS10 and SONiC support simplify management and integrate with existing automation tools.
- Low latency of under 1 s ensures real-time traffic like voice and video stays clear.
Key Features
- 48 × SFP28 ports delivering 25 GbE connectivity for servers and storage.
- 2 × QSFP28-DD ports offering 200 GbE for high-speed uplinks.
- Four hot-swappable fan modules for reliable cooling.
- Dual hot-swappable AC power supplies up to 647 W.
- 2 TB switching capacity with 1.5 Bpps throughput.
- 847 ns latency and 32 MB packet buffer for smooth traffic.
- 16 GB CPU memory and 64 GB SSD for OS and logs.
- Support for 10/25/40/50/100 GbE with breakout options.
- Layer 2/Layer 3 scaling up to 4 K VLANs and 128 LAGs.
- Compliance with UL, FCC, IEC standards and 1-year warranty.
