Dell Networking C-Series line cards

Expand and configure your chassis based on your needs.
  • Dell Networking C150 — add up to four line cards
  • Dell Networking C300 — add up to eight line cards

8-port 10GbE SFP+ line card with pluggable SFP+ modules
This line card provides industry-leading density of up to 64 line-rate, non-blocking 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports in a single chassis provides cost-effective uplink capability with open-standards SFP+ operation coupled with lower total cost of ownership (TCO) than XFP options, for aggregation, top-of-rack, end-of-row and core switches. Additionally, the C-Series application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and architecture enables line-rate performance with quality of service (QoS) and access control lists (ACLs) enabled, jumbo frame support, and simultaneous L2 switching and IPv4 routing.

4-port 10GbE with pluggable XFP modules
This line card provides density of up to 32 line-rate, non-blocking 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a single chassis. Additionally, the C-Series ASICs and architecture enables line-rate performance with QoS and ACLs enabled, jumbo frame support, and simultaneous L2 switching and IPv4 routing. The intelligence embedded in the line cards allows localized switching, providing very low latency.
