Product overview
Dell lists S5212F-ON as a 12x25GbE+3x100GbE layer 3 Switch. Switches are chosen on port mix and uplink capacity rather than headline throughput. This one is 12x25GbE. Tell us what it is aggregating and we will confirm the uplinks and optics you will also need.
Ask for the optics and rail kit on the same quote; a switch that arrives without them still cannot be racked.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against S5212F-ON specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
Volume pricing
The listed price is per unit; tiered pricing applies at quantity and purchase orders are accepted.
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.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is S5212F-ON genuine and is the warranty intact?

Yes, POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.

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.
