What port configuration does the Dell 210-ABVU N4064 provide?

The Dell 210-ABVU N4064 features 48 x 10GBASE-T RJ45 ports for 10GbE over Category 6A/7 copper cabling up to 100 meters, plus 2 x 40GbE QSFP+ ports for QSFP+ or breakout to 4x10G. This hybrid setup supports flexible deployments from access to aggregation layers.

What is the switching capacity of the N4064 switch?

The N4064 delivers full wire-speed non-blocking switching with capacity exceeding 1.2Tbps full-duplex, enabling simultaneous 10G traffic on all 48 BASE-T ports and 40G uplinks without contention, ideal for high-throughput data center ToR roles.

Which OS runs on the Dell 210-ABVU?

It runs Dell SmartFabric OS10, a modular network OS supporting SONiC compatibility, BGP, EVPN, and multi-architecture environments. OS10 enables zero-touch provisioning, DUP image upgrades, and FW compatibility checks for streamlined operations.

Is the 210-ABVU suitable for spine-leaf architectures?

Yes, as a leaf switch in spine-leaf fabrics, its 48x10G ports connect servers while 2x40G uplinks link to spines. Supports MLAG, VXLAN, and QoS for scalable, low-latency fabrics in cloud-native data centers.

What cabling does 10GBASE-T support on this switch?

10GBASE-T ports use Cat6A or Cat7 twisted-pair copper up to 100m, Cat6 up to 55m, or Cat5e up to 30m. This eliminates SFP+ transceivers, lowering costs and simplifying cabling in retrofitted data centers.

How does N4064 handle high-density server connectivity?

With 48x10GBASE-T in 1U, it connects up to 48 servers per rack at wire speed, reducing latency for VM migrations and storage traffic. QoS policies prioritize critical flows in dense environments.

Product overview

The Dell 210-ABVU, model N4064, is a 1U rack-mountable Ethernet switch engineered for enterprise and data center networking. It provides 48 x 10GBASE-T RJ45 ports supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper cabling up to 100m, paired with 2 x 40GbE QSFP+ uplink ports for high-speed aggregation. This configuration enables non-blocking switching at wire speed across all ports, ideal for top-of-rack deployments handling intensive east-west traffic in cloud, virtualization, and HPC environments. Advanced features include robust QoS for traffic prioritization, low-latency forwarding, and support for SmartFabric OS10 for flexible management across multi-architecture setups. Benefits include scalable bandwidth, reduced cabling costs via BASE-T, and reliable performance for high-density server farms. Deploy in spine-leaf architectures or as core switches to optimize throughput while minimizing latency and power consumption in mission-critical IT infrastructures.
