331-5160 Dell Force10 C Series 48-Port 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE Line Card

The Dell Force10 C Series Line Card with 48 PoE-enabled Gigabit ports is ideal for network environments that demand high-density connectivity and integrated power delivery over Ethernet. It is particularly useful in enterprise LANs, campus networks, and data centers where supporting numerous IP devices, such as phones and access points, from a single chassis reduces cabling complexity and power infrastructure requirements.

How It's Used:

• Enabling centralized power and data delivery for VoIP deployments in large enterprise office environments.
• Supporting high-density wireless access point connections in campus networks to streamline network management and power provisioning.
• Facilitating consolidation of rack deployments in data centers by combining network connectivity and PoE for edge compute or security devices.
• Expanding port capacity in SMB networks that require scalable, space-efficient switch solutions with integrated power support.
• Providing robust connectivity and power to IP surveillance cameras in building security infrastructures without additional power cabling.

This line card enhances operational efficiency by reducing the need for separate power sources and cabling, while allowing network architects to scale port density within a modular chassis. Its integration into Dell Force10 switches supports streamlined management and delivery of both network connectivity and power in complex environments.
