Dell 10G-PTM 10GBE 16-Port RJ45 Ethernet Pass Through Module for M1000e WW060

Overview
Enhance the Ethernet connectivity of your Dell Server with the Gigabit Ethernet Pass-Through Module from Dell. Requiring no firmware upgrade this module supports 10/100/1000 speed auto negotiation allowing you lag-free connectivity. This product has been tested and validated on Dell systems. It is supported by Dell Technical Support when used with a Dell system.

• 16x copper RJ45 connections
• 10/100/1000Mb with auto-negotiation
• Port and system status LED indicators
• Per port status LEDs: Link, Activity
• System status LEDs: System status, power
• Hot-swappable, enabling expansion without server interruption
• Support for up to six switch blade modules per M1000e blade chassis

Interoperability without consideration
Dell 10GbE Pass-Through Modules ensure 10Gb Ethernet interoperability for M-Series blade deployments. Since pass throughs are transparent devices, they are unseen in LAN topologies and provide direct Ethernet connectivity from server blades to external LANs. This level of interoperability can be beneficial when seeking to integrate blade servers into existing LANs from any partner of your choice.

Plug and done
As unmanaged devices, Dell 10Gb Ethernet Pass-Through Modules require no setup, configuration or management. Simply plug the unit into the M1000e chassis and connect cables to the sixteen optional shortwave SFP+ optical transceivers, and you're done. The modules automatically connect at 10 Gbps on a port-by-port basis, enabling traffic to begin flowing from server blade to external 10Gb network switch.

Dedicated bandwidth
By statically tying each internal (server) port to its corresponding external port, the 10GbE Pass-Through Modules help deliver dedicated and isolated bandwidth between each server blade and the LAN without compromise. The sixteen external ports in each module also help maximize the available Ethernet bandwidth from your M1000e to your LAN.
