DELL T997P – PowerConnect 16PORT 10GB PASSTHROUGH

Detailed Description:

The DELL T997P is part of the Dell PowerConnect series, offering a 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet pass-through module designed for seamless integration with Dell M1000e blade enclosures. This module facilitates high-speed networking connections between the blade servers housed within the enclosure and external networking hardware. Each port delivers a dedicated 10 Gbps full-duplex Ethernet connection, ensuring optimal performance and bandwidth for each server blade. This pass-through module is an ideal solution for environments requiring high throughput and minimal latency for applications such as high-performance computing (HPC), virtualization, and cloud services. The simplicity of a pass-through module means there is no internal switching within the enclosure, allowing for direct, unmanaged connectivity that maintains network policies and topologies from the broader network. This approach simplifies network management and increases transparency. The T997P is essential for businesses looking to maximize the networking capabilities of their Dell M1000e blade enclosures without introducing additional layers of complexity.
