Extreme VIM5-2Q 2x40GE QSFP Module

Extend switch capacity where uplink bandwidth matters most. The Extreme VIM5 2x40GE QSFP module adds two 40 GbE QSFP ports to supported ExtremeSwitching X465 and VSP4900 platforms, giving architects a straightforward way to increase aggregation bandwidth without changing the base system. This module is designed for environments that need fast uplinks, predictable expansion, and platform-specific compatibility. Two 40 GbE QSFP interfaces provide the throughput needed for distribution, aggregation, and high-demand access designs where oversubscription can quickly become a constraint. Because it is a modular interface component, it helps preserve chassis investment while extending the useful life of the switching platform. For enterprise teams, the value is in precision. Rather than overbuying a larger fixed switch or introducing a separate aggregation tier, the VIM5-2Q lets you add exactly the uplink capacity required for the deployment. That makes it a practical choice for data center edge, campus aggregation, and network refresh projects built around ExtremeSwitching X465 or VSP4900 systems.
