40GbE QSFP+ Stacking Module
The Dell 5KFVW is a hot-swappable stacking module with two 40GbE QSFP+ ports. It is designed for Dell N4000 and PC8100 series switches. The module enables high-speed switch stacking in rack environments.
Network administrators expanding switch fabrics
This module suits teams managing Dell N4000 or PC8100 stacks who need additional 40GbE uplinks without downtime. It is not for operators of non-Dell switches, environments requiring different port speeds, or builds lacking a compatible Dell chassis.
Two 40GbE QSFP+ ports
The dual 40GbE QSFP+ interfaces determine stacking bandwidth and cable choice. Verify that your switch model matches the N4000 or PC8100 series before purchase. The CAT-12241 reference confirms the supported platform list.

Questions sur cet article
How do I install the 5KFVW stacking module in a Dell PC8100 or N4000 chassis without powering down?
The module is hot-swappable; align it with the empty stacking bay, slide it in until the latch clicks, then secure the thumbscrew — the step often missed is confirming the link LEDs turn solid green before stacking cables are attached.
What maintenance will the 5KFVW module need during its service life?
No scheduled maintenance is required; keep the QSFP+ ports covered when cables are removed and reseat the module only if a port shows persistent link errors.
What throughput limit appears first when the 5KFVW module handles sustained stacking traffic?
Each of the two QSFP+ ports is fixed at 40GbE, so the stacking fabric cannot exceed that per-port rate under continuous load.
