Data Center Switches
25G, 100G and 400G switches for spine-leaf networks, private cloud and AI. Open, SONiC-ready software and hot-swap power and fans.
The range
One family, from the server rack to the core
Three switches that work together. Leaf switches connect the servers. Spine switches join the leaves at 100G or 400G.
DTS-5000-56S
Connects the servers in each rack at 25G, with 100G uplinks to the spine.
DTS-5100-32S
Joins up to 32 leaf switches at 100G, for enterprise and provider data centers.
DTS-5400-32S
400G in one rack unit, with lossless Ethernet for AI training and inference.
In plain numbers
How fast is fast?
One port, one second. This is how much data each speed moves.
About 3 GB every second
A full-length HD film in about two seconds. For each server in the rack.
About 12 GB every second
Four times 25G. Links the racks to the spine.
About 50 GB every second
Sixteen times 25G. For GPU clusters that share data all the time.
Leaf and spine
Any rack to any rack in two hops
- Leaf switches connect the servers in each rack.
- Spine switches join every leaf to every other leaf.
- All paths work at the same time. If one link fails, traffic uses the others.
- To grow, add a leaf or a spine. No redesign.
| Spines (DTS-5100-32S) | Leaves (DTS-5000-56S) | Server ports at 25G |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 8 | 384 |
| 4 | 16 | 768 |
| 8 | 32 | 1,536 |

Why D-Link data center switches
Open, fast and always on
One software platform on all three models, so you learn it once and use it from the leaf to the spine.
SONiC-ready open software
Ships with ONIE. Load an open network operating system and avoid lock-in.
Lossless Ethernet for AI
RoCEv2 with PFC and ECN keeps GPU traffic moving without packet loss.
EVPN-VXLAN
Stretch networks between racks and sites over a routed fabric.
MC-LAG
Connect each server to two switches. If one stops, the other keeps the link up.
Hot-swap power and fans
Two power supplies and spare fans. Replace one while the switch runs.
AC or DC power
Fits enterprise rooms and telecom sites with DC power.
