Keep high-power endpoints online with a switch built for modern access layers. The ExtremeSwitching 5720-48MW combines 48 multigigabit ports with 802.3bt PoE delivering up to 90 W per port, giving you the headroom required for Wi-Fi access points, PTZ cameras, thin clients, and other devices that exceed traditional PoE limits. Its multigig support across 100 Mb, 1 Gb, 2.5 Gb, and 5 Gb helps match port speed to endpoint demand without forcing a forklift refresh when wireless or edge traffic grows. With stacking support and QSFP28 uplink capability, the platform is positioned for larger access deployments that need cleaner aggregation and simpler expansion. This is the kind of switch you choose when access-layer density is only part of the requirement. Power budget, uplink architecture, and multigig flexibility all matter here. Compared with lower-tier PoE switches, the 5720-48MW is built to absorb heavier endpoint loads and preserve upgrade paths, which is exactly what makes it a stronger fit for enterprise refresh cycles.
