S25P (Fiber Switch) Overview

S-Series S25P High Performance GbE/10 GbE Access Switch

The Force10 S25P is a compact form factor switch that delivers high Gigabit Ethernet fiber density at the network edge, enabling cost-effective scalability while eliminating bandwidth bottlenecks at key aggregation points.

Key Applications

Coupled with the E-Series and C-Series, which deliver unmatched resiliency and performance, the S25P enables IT managers to deploy a reliable end-to-end 10 GbE solution that spans from core to network edge.

  • Small form factor intra-POP Layer 2 interconnects
  • 10 GbE LAN PHY or DWDM XFP media modules for cost-effective metro or inter-POP transport
  • Flexible customer aggregation and distribution switch supporting 10/100/1000Base-T copper and 100/1000Mbps fiber
  • Line-rate GbE and 10 GbE rack switches for the most demanding data center, storage or compute facility

Key Features

The S25P is a reliable and scalable fixed configuration modular media switch for high performance Ethernet environments.

  • 24 SFP ports in a 1-RU form factor with two modular slots
    • 20 ports 100Base-FX, 10/100/1000Base-T, or 1000Base-X with SFP media modules
    • 4 ports 10/100/1000Base-T shared with SFP ports
  • Optional Modules
    • 2-port 10 GbE LAN PHY (pluggable XFP modules)
    • 2-port 10 GbE (CX4)
    • 2-port 12 Gbps stacking
