DELL - 0GDTPK - Dell PowerConnect 5548 Gigabit Ethernet Switch

The Dell PowerConnect 5548 is a Gigabit Ethernet access switch designed for reliable edge connectivity in office networks, server rooms, and wiring closets. With 48x 1GbE copper ports and a rack-mountable form factor, it’s well suited for aggregating user, VoIP, and endpoint traffic while maintaining predictable performance for day-to-day operations.

As part of the broader DELL networking portfolio, the PowerConnect 5548 supports common enterprise switching functions such as VLAN segmentation and QoS prioritisation to help separate departments and prioritise latency-sensitive traffic like voice. For fibre uplinks or longer-distance interconnects, you can pair it with compatible TRANSCEIVER options (depending on your uplink modules/slots) to match your cabling and topology requirements.

Key Features

Key capabilities of the PowerConnect 5548 for business access-layer deployments include:

• 48x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports to connect users, printers, IP phones, and edge devices at Gigabit speeds.
• Dedicated uplink expansion (model family capability) to support higher-speed or fibre uplinks for aggregation towards distribution/core.
• VLAN support to segment networks for departments, guests, or device classes and reduce broadcast scope.
• QoS features to prioritise voice/video and critical application flows over best-effort traffic.
• Layer 2 switching functions (including common management and control features) to support stable access-layer operation.
• Enterprise-oriented security controls (family-typical) to help manage port access and reduce the risk of unauthorised connections.
• Rack-mountable design to fit standard 19-inch environments for tidy installation in cabinets and server rooms.
• Built for continuous operation to support 24/7 network availability in business-critical environments.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This unit is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Choosing refurbished switching can extend the lifecycle of existing infrastructure, reduce electronic waste, and control budgets compared to buying new.

The PowerConnect 5548 includes a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries: three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request. For complete deployments, consider related items such as NETWORK ADAPTER for servers and endpoints, and appropriate CABLE options to match your rack and patching standards.
