Build a stronger access layer with a switch designed for secure connectivity and future expansion. The Extreme Networks 5420M-24W-4YE delivers 24 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE ports with a 90 W PoE budget, making it a fit for lower-power powered devices across offices, classrooms, and branch locations. Four unpopulated 10/25G SFP28 slots provide a clear path for higher-speed uplinks when the network design calls for it. MACsec capability adds an important security layer for organizations that need encrypted link protection at the edge. Stacking support helps simplify operations across multiple switches, while the included fan module and modular PSU slots support a deployment model built for serviceability. This is the kind of access switch chosen when the network must do more than pass traffic. It needs to protect it, scale with it, and keep pace with changing uplink demands. For teams standardizing on secure enterprise switching, the 5420M-24W-4YE offers the right mix of port density, uplink headroom, and operational flexibility.
