Specication Sheet
The PowerSwitch S5200-ON 25/100GbE xed switches
comprise Dell EMC’s latest disaggregated hardware and
software data center networking solutions, providing
state-of-the-art, high-density 25/100GbE ports and a
broad range of functionality to meet the growing demands
of today’s data center environment. These innovative,
next-generation open networking switches offer optimum
exibility and cost-effectiveness for web 2.0, enterprise,
mid- market and cloud service provider with demanding
compute and storage trafc environments.
The S5200-ON is a complete family of switches: 12-port,
24-port, and 48-port 25GbE/100GbE ToR switches, 96-port
25GbE/100GbE Middle of Row (MoR)/End of Row (EoR)
switch, and a 32-port 100GbE Multi-Rate Spine/Leaf
switch. From the compact half-rack width S5212F-ON
providing an ideal form factor for hyper-converged
deployments, to the high density S5296F-ON for Middle
of Row deployments, the S5200-ON series offers
performance and exibility for a variety of network designs.
In addition to 100GbE Spine/Leaf deployments, the
S5232F-ON can also be used in high density deployments
using breakout cables to achieve up to 128 10GbE or 128
25GbE ports.
Using industry-leading hardware and a choice of Dell
EMC’s OS10 or select 3rd party network operating
systems and tools, the S5200-ON switches incorporate
multiple architectural features that optimize data center
network exibility, efciency and availability, including IO
panel to PSU or PSU to IO panel airow for hot/cold aisle
environments, redundant, hot-swappable power supplies
and fans and deliver non-blocking performance for
workloads sensitive to packet loss.
Priority-based ow control (PFC), data center bridge
exchange (DCBX) and enhanced transmission selection
(ETS) make the S5200-ON family ideally suited for
DCB environments.
Dell EMC PowerSwitch S5200-ON switches support the
open source Open Network Install Environment (ONIE)
for zero touch installation of Dell EMC’s OS10 networking
operating system, as well as alternative network
operating systems.
Key applications
• Organizations looking to enter the software-dened
data center era with a choice of networking
technologies designed to maximize exibility
• High-density 10/25GbE ToR server aggregation
in high-performance data center environments at
the desired fabric speed with the S5248F-ON or
S5296F-ON
• Low-density 10/25GbE server and storage aggregation
with the S5212F-ON and S5224F-ON
• Small-scale Fabric implementation via the S5232F-ON
switch in leaf and spine along with S5248F-ON
1/10/25GbE ToR switches enabling cost-effective
aggregation of 10/25/40/50/100 uplinks
• Multi-functional 10/25/40/50/100GbE switching in
High Performance Computing Clusters or other
business-sensitive deployments requiring the
highest bandwidth.
• iSCSI deployments, including DCB converged
lossless transactions
• Single-pass VXLAN routing (future software release)
