Extreme Networks 5720-VIM-2CE 2 x 100GbE QSFP28 MACsec

Keep high-value traffic moving on a secure, high-capacity path with the Extreme Networks 5720-VIM-2CE. This versatile interface module adds 2 100GbE QSFP28 ports to supported 5720 platforms, giving network teams a compact way to extend uplink capacity without overbuilding the chassis. MACsec capability matters when the link itself must be protected, not just the endpoints. For environments carrying sensitive operational, financial, or identity traffic, hardware-based link encryption helps preserve confidentiality across aggregation and backbone segments while maintaining the performance profile expected from 100GbE connectivity. The QSFP28 design fits modern high-speed optics workflows and keeps the module aligned with enterprise switching architectures that need fewer, faster links instead of a larger number of lower-speed ports. That makes it a strong fit for teams standardizing on dense uplinks, simplifying cabling, and reserving switch resources for traffic that justifies premium transport. Choose this module when the network design calls for secure throughput, predictable scaling, and a clean path to higher-capacity interconnects.
