DELL C7008 13U network equipment chassis

13U, 1.536 Tbps (952 Mpps), 8 x slots <b>Maximize throughput and flexibility</b>
Build a resilient network infrastructure that offers flexibility, expansion and broad customization with Dell Networking C-Series chassis-based switches.

<b>Dell Networking C-Series</b>
High-density, line-rate, non-blocking 1/10/40GbE switches, cost-effective PoE+ enabled GbE ports, modular Dell Networking OS software for inherent stability, and in-service diagnostics and traffic visibility tools for increased network control.

<b>C-Series resilient switches</b>
The Dell C-Series resilient chassis-based switches deliver reliability, network control and scalability. The C-series is designed to support GbE and 10GbE switch aggregation for enterprise campus and business wiring closets, while also supporting 1/10GbE server aggregation and 10/40GbE core operations/campus connections for data centers. Comprehensive management capabilities make the C-Series a cost-effective and flexible deployment option.

<b>Key applications:</b>
- High-density 1/10GbE aggregation into a multiple Gbps or 40GbE backbone;
- Cost-effective, scalable PoE+ IEEE wiring closet aggregation of VoIP phones, wireless access points or other IEEE 802.3at-compliant devices;
- Low-cost 100/1000Mbps server aggregation for small-to medium-sized data centers (100s to 1,000s of servers);
- Scalable GbE aggregation and 10GbE transport in a carrier’s Middle Mile network to enable the deployment of triple play services.

<b>Key features:</b>
The Dell C-Series is designed to provide inherent reliability, network control and scalability for high-performance Ethernet environments.
