Extreme 5720-48MXW 48-Port 10G PoE Switch

Build a stronger access layer with the ExtremeSwitching 5720-48MXW. This platform combines 48 ports of 100 Mb, 1 Gb, 2.5 Gb, 5 Gb, and 10 Gb connectivity with 802.3bt 90 W PoE, giving you the power and bandwidth needed for modern wireless, voice, video, and security endpoints. The switch is designed for larger edge deployments that need more than basic aggregation. Two stacking/QSFP28 interfaces support resilient expansion, while MACsec capability adds a security layer for sensitive traffic. A single unpopulated VIM slot and two unpopulated modular PSU slots provide room for future design choices, and included fan modules help support thermal requirements in dense installations. For infrastructure teams standardizing on high-power access switching, this model stands out because it combines multigig performance, strong PoE delivery, and expansion options in one chassis. It is a practical fit when endpoint density is high, power budgets are tight, and the network must be ready for growth without replacing the access layer.
