Dell N2048 48-Port Layer 3 PoE+ Switch

The Dell 463-7701 is a 48-port Layer 3 PoE+ switch designed to enhance and expand network infrastructures with reliable, high-performance connectivity. It offers a mix of 1GbE and 10GbE ports, making it well-suited for environments like campus networks and data centers where consistent uptime and fast data transfer are essential.

This switch supports advanced Layer 3 routing for both IPv4 and IPv6, handling up to 256 interfaces, which allows it to integrate smoothly into complex, multi-vendor network setups. Its multi-chassis link aggregation (MLAG) and stacking capabilities—supporting up to 12 units at 84Gbps—provide redundancy and maximize bandwidth, helping to minimize downtime and maintain continuous network operation.

With PoE+ support on all 48 ports, the Dell 463-7701 can power devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras directly through the network cable, reducing the need for extra power sources and simplifying installation. The switch is also built with energy efficiency in mind, featuring an 80PLUS certified power supply and the ability to operate in higher temperature environments, which helps lower cooling costs without sacrificing performance.

Administrators will appreciate the familiar command-line interface and graphical user interface, along with USB auto-configuration that speeds up deployment and ongoing management. Overall, this switch is a practical choice for IT teams looking for a scalable, easy-to-manage, and robust solution to support growing network demands.
