Introduction

The S6000-ON is a fully featured switch/router one rack unit (RU) system that
you can deploy as a spine, leaf, or top of rack (ToR) device where you require
10Gb and/or 40Gb connections. It contains 32 ports of 40G that you can use to
create a configuration of 96 ports of 10G small form-factor pluggable plus
(SFP+) (using breakout cables) and eight ports of 40G quad small form-factor
pluggable plus (QSFP+).

In a data center network, the S6000-ON switch provides converged network
support and interoperates with Dell Networking and third-party network
devices.

By providing increased 40GbE bandwidth for device interconnection in a shared
network storage environment, with the possibility of splitting 40GbE quad small
form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) uplinks into 10GbE SFP+ connections, the
S6000-ON switch is perfectly positioned to help transition a data center with
multiple speed requirements.
