Dell 6248 w/ 4x 10GbE (dual PD111 + XFPs) $400

[tby]

I've got a Dell 6248 switch that has become surplus to me. 48x 1GbE ports. 4x combo SFP. 2x PD111 modules on the back providing 4x 10GbE XFP ports (XFP SR optics included).

Looking for $400 shipped, CONUS only.

Adding some pictures. I used this for about a minute as the house end of a 10GbE fiber link to my home office / detached garage. Just a tiny bit of overkill for my purposes.

Idle Powe r?

Ballpark, 70-80w with the XFP modules installed and no ports active. I can only measure my whole rack so could be +/- a bit.

As an owner of the sister models for these, the Dell switches are not designed to be quiet or kept near an area that needs to be. These are not loud hurricane switches like other models but they do generate some noise. This is a great deal if you got your equipment in a seperate room/basement/lab where the noise is irrelevant. For me they were too loud to be in my network closet and lab and had to be replaced by quieter ones.


Great deal for someone to get a kickass stacking switch.

The 62xx are loud... But I love mine.

Interested in selling the modules separate?

Also, nice FJR. I had one a few years back.

I'm not ready to part out the modules just yet.

Love my FJR, if the weather stops sucking I should hit 25K miles next month.

Have temporarily brought the switch back into action while I relocate my rack away from my office. It's now the only device on my power meter and is pulling +/- 85w with 1 copper and 1 XFP port active. Sitting on a shelf maybe 18' from my desk in an otherwise quiet space I don't find the noise that bad. Quieter than my Quantas.

I'll have it re-decommissioned by the middle of next week.
