The Extreme Networks 5720-24MXW is built for access layers where power and speed both matter. Its 24 ports support 100 Mb, 1 Gb, 2.5 Gb, 5 Gb, and 10 Gb connectivity, giving you the flexibility to match modern endpoints without forcing a forklift upgrade later. With 802.3bt PoE delivering up to 90 W per port, it can support demanding devices that exceed the limits of standard PoE and PoE+. This is the kind of switch that belongs in environments where endpoint requirements are rising faster than rack space. High-power wireless access points, advanced cameras, and other edge devices can be deployed with fewer compromises. Stacking support adds another layer of operational value by helping teams scale port counts while keeping management simpler across multiple units. For enterprise IT teams, the appeal is straightforward: fewer power constraints, broader speed support, and a platform that can absorb growth without immediate replacement. That combination makes the 5720-24MXW a practical choice for campus access, branch refreshes, and dense edge deployments where uptime and headroom are worth paying for.
