210-AHMX - Dell PowerSwitch S4048T-ON 48-Port 10GbE Switch

Dell 210-AHMX (S4048T-ON) is a Layer 3 managed 1U switch with 48x 10GBASE-T RJ-45 ports and 6x 40GbE QSFP+ uplinks, dual redundant PSUs.

The Dell 210-AHMX corresponds to the Dell EMC/Dell Networking PowerSwitch S4048T-ON, a 1U rack-mountable, Layer 3 managed Ethernet switch built for enterprise and data center environments. It provides 48 fixed 100/1000/10GbE RJ-45 copper ports for server and access connectivity, plus 6 fixed 40GbE QSFP+ ports that can be used for high-speed uplinks or split into 10GbE breakout connections. The switch runs Dell's Open Networking OS9 software, enabling advanced Layer 2/Layer 3 routing, VLAN segmentation, and network automation. It ships with dual redundant, hot-swappable 460W AC power supplies for continuous uptime, and uses a standard I/O-to-PSU airflow design suited for typical data center rack cooling. This model is commonly deployed as a top-of-rack (ToR) switch in enterprise networks, virtualization clusters, and campus core/aggregation layers where dense 10GbE copper connectivity with 40GbE uplink capability is required.
