Dell N1548 48-Port Gigabit Managed Switch for Enterprise Networks

Usage Area

The Dell N1548 switch is designed for deployment in rapidly growing Gigabit Ethernet networks that require high-density aggregation, redundant uplinks, and continuous availability. It is suitable for enterprise campus networks, access layer installations, and small-to-medium data centers where predictable performance under variable load is critical. The device supports stacking for scalable port capacity, making it applicable in environments that demand flexible network expansion without service interruption.

Construction Features

• 48 fixed 10/100/1000 Base-TX RJ-45 ports for high-density copper connectivity
• 4 fixed 10GbE SFP+ ports for high-speed optical uplinks or inter-switch links
• Stackable design; stacking capability supported without included stacking cable (cable ordered separately)
• Airflow direction from ports to power supply unit (PSU) for predictable thermal management in rack installations
• Managed Layer 2 switch with advanced traffic control and redundancy features
• Compact 1U form factor suitable for standard 19-inch racks
