Key Features
48 × 1 GbE Data-Only Ports
All downlinks are pure Gigabit Ethernet (no PoE), ideal for desktops, printers, thin clients and any endpoint that doesn’t need inline power—cutting both CapEx and heat output.
256 Gbps / 190 Mpps
Delivers true wire-speed Layer 2/3 for every port, and—when stacked—scales to 736 Gbps with < 50 ms fail-over via StackWise-480.
Hot-Swap Modular Uplink Bay
A single Type-1 slot supports 4×1 G, 8×10 G, 2×25 G or 2×40 G modules, so core bandwidth can be upgraded without replacing the base switch.
Network Advantage Software Image
Ships with advanced routing (OSPF, BGP, IS-IS), SD-Access segmentation, Encrypted Traffic Analytics and open APIs—ready for automation and zero-trust architectures.
Integrated Hardware Security
Secure Boot, Trust Anchor, and AES-256 MACsec on uplinks protect the control plane, while ETA detects encrypted threats in real time.
Carrier-Class Resiliency
N+1 field-replaceable fans, dual-PSU redundancy, StackPower shared power pooling and StackWise-480 stacking keep the campus online 24 × 7.
Applications Scenarios
48 non-PoE Gigabit ports give maximum port density at the lowest cost; StackWise-480 lets IT expand cabinet by cabinet with a single management IP.
256 Gbps non-blocking fabric plus optional 25/40 G uplinks eliminate bottlenecks when students or researchers move large simulation or CAD files.
Acts as the data-only aggregation point for multiple PoE access switches; Network Advantage routing and segmentation support seamless SD-Access rollouts.
