Product Description

Dell Networking N1500 series

The N1500 switch series offers a power-efficient Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network-access switching solution with integrated 10GbE uplinks. The N1500 switch series has high-performance capabilities and wire-speed performance, utilizing a non-blocking architecture to easily handle unexpected traffic loads.

The switches offer simple management and scalability via an 40Gbps (full-duplex) high availability stacking architecture that allows management of up to four switches from a single IP address.

An integrated 80PLUS-certified power supply and features such as Energy-Efficient Ethernet and short cable detection provide energy efficiency to help decrease power and cooling costs.

Modernize campus network architectures

Modernize campus network architectures with a power-efficient and resilient 1/10GbE switching solution with Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+). Select N1500 models offer 24 or 48 ports of PoE+ to deliver clean power to network devices such as wireless access points (APs), Voice-over-IP (VoIP) handsets, video conferencing systems and security cameras.

Leverage familiar tools and practices

All N-Series switches include Dell Networking OS 6, designed for easier deployment, greater interoperability and a lower learning curve for network administrators. One common command line interface (CLI) and graphic user interface (GUI) using a well-known command language gets skilled network administrators productive quickly. This allows network administrators to maintain consistent configurations by running one OS release across all N-Series products. With USB auto-configuration, network administrators can rapidly deploy mirrored configurations to numerous devices by simply inserting a USB key

Hardware, performance and efficiency

• Up to 48 line-rate GbE RJ-45 ports and four integrated 10GbE SFP+ ports.
• Support for 24 ports of PoE+ in 1RU or up to 48 ports of PoE+ with an optional external power supply.
• Up to 200 1GbE ports in a 4-unit stack for high-density, highavailability in IDFs, MDFs and wiring closets.
• Non-stop forwarding and fast failover in stack configurations.
• Energy-Efficient Ethernet and lower power PHYs reduce power to inactive ports and idle links, providing energy savings from the power cord to the port.
• Dell Fresh Air compliance for operation in environments up to 113°F (45°C) helps reduce cooling costs in temperature constrained deployments.
