What does Max 100GbE density in a Switch mean ?
Hi,
We are looking for a 48 Port switch and wanted some information.
dell_emc_networking-s5200_on_spec_sheet.pdf (delltechnologies.com)
In the PDF link above, page 3 shows the Features as below.
What is not clear is :
1) What does Max 100 GbE Density mean
2) How is Max Density related to number of ports
Thank You

Touqeeranjum,
The Max 100 GbE Density is a specification that indicates the maximum number of 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports that a network switch can accommodate simultaneously. This metric is essential for understanding the switch's capacity and limitations concerning its 100 GbE port support, which is critical for network planning and ensuring adequate bandwidth for high-speed connections.
Let me know if this helps.
