Dell PowerConnect Network Switches

Dell PowerConnect is Dell's product line of business networking devices. They connect computers and servers in mostly small to medium sized networks. They are available in pre-configured unmanaged models as well as managed models for flexibility in managing traffic.

There are two main model lines of PowerConnect switches. The classic line are 8-48 port 100Mbps/1Gbps/10Gbps ethernet switches, unmanaged and managed.

The B-series, J-series, and W-series are re-branded Brocade, Juniper, and Aruba Networks switches respectively and target the enterprise network market.
