Extend wired access capacity with the Extreme Networks 5520-48T, a 48-port managed switch built for enterprise environments that need scale without sacrificing control. With 48 10/100/1000Base-T ports, it supports broad endpoint connectivity across desktops, printers, phones, cameras, and other copper-based devices. Stacking support helps simplify growth and operational consistency across multiple switches, while MACsec capability adds a security layer for sensitive network segments. This model also includes one unpopulated VIM slot and two unpopulated modular PSU slots, giving infrastructure teams room to adapt the platform to future requirements. Three fan modules are included, supporting thermal design for dense rack deployments. That combination of port density, security capability, and modularity makes the 5520-48T a stronger fit than entry-level switches when uptime, manageability, and lifecycle planning matter. For organizations standardizing on reliable access switching, this platform offers the kind of hardware depth that supports long-term network planning instead of short-term patchwork.
