Product overview
Dell lists FDH81 as a networking N1548P 48-Port gigabit PoE+ managed Switch (4x 10GbE SFP+ uplinks, 1704W PoE+ budget). Switches are chosen on port mix and uplink capacity rather than headline throughput. This one is 48-Port. Tell us what it is aggregating and we will confirm the uplinks and optics you will also need.
This part is quoted rather than listed, because the price moves with availability. Send the quantity and we will come back with a number we can stand behind.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against FDH81 specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
Airflow variant confirmed
We check the airflow direction against your aisle before shipping, because the wrong variant runs hot for the life of the switch.
No substitutions without asking
If we cannot supply the exact code we tell you what we can supply and why, rather than shipping an equivalent and letting you find out.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is FDH81 genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. Supplied new and unopened, so the manufacturer warranty and firmware update path stay supported. No grey-market stock and no refurbished units sold as new.
Will FDH81 work in my server?
Tell us what it is aggregating and what optics you already hold. We confirm the port mix, the uplink capacity and the airflow variant, and we will list the optics and rail kit you will also need.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes. We quote against a purchase order and hold the price for the quote period, with tiered rates at quantity. Net terms are available once the account is approved.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
Multi-node training is bounded by the fabric between the nodes, so the switch is specified with the cluster rather than after it.
