Force10 S25N/S50N power supply shelf, holds 8 redundant PSU SA-01-EPS Leaflet

The Force10 S25N and S50N bring core-like resiliency in a compact form factor to the
network edge, enabling cost-effective scalability. These high performance and low latency
Gigabit Ethernet switches deliver the critical functionality that advanced data center 
network edges demand.

Coupled with the E-Series and C-Series, which deliver unmatched resiliency and performance,
the S25N and S50N enable IT managers to deploy a reliable end-to-end 10 GbE solution that
spans from core to network edge. 

• Line-rate GbE and 10 GbE rack switches for the most demanding data center, storage or

compute facility

• Cost effective distribution layer into a 10 GbE LAN core or distributed data center deployments

The S25N and S50N are fixed configuration switches that deliver reliability and scalability for
data centers and edge switching applications.

• 24 or 48 10/100/1000 ports in a 1-RU form factor

– 20 or 44 ports 10/100/1000Base-T
– 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
– 1-port 24 Gbps stacking

• Modular FTOS with advanced monitoring and serviceability functions

• VirtualView real-time network and application traffic monitoring for virtualized data centers

• Supports jumbo frames of up to 9,252 bytes; ideal for high-end server connectivity and 

network attached file servers

• Full complement of standards-based Layer 2, IPv4 and IPv6 features for unicast and 

multicast applications

• Switching fabric capacity of up to 288 Gbps and forwarding capacity of more than 131 Mpps

• Stack up to eight S25N, S25P, S25V, S50N or S50V switches to deliver a scalable and flexible

high capacity solution
