Extreme Networks 5520-48T-ACDC-BASE-T Secure 48-Port MACsec Switch TAA

The EXTREME NETWORK INC 5520-48T-ACDC-BASE-TAA is a high-performance switch designed for enterprise and government networks that demand secure, scalable connectivity. With 48 MACsec-capable copper ports and flexible expansion options, it’s built to grow with your infrastructure while keeping data protected.

• Ports: 48 x 10/100/1000BASE-T copper ports with MACsec capability for encrypted, secure data transfer.
• Stacking/Uplink capability: 2 stacking/QSFP28 ports for high-density uplinks and seamless scalability.
• Expansion slot: 1 unpopulated VIM slot to add network services or modular capabilities as needed.
• Cooling architecture: 3 unpopulated modular fan slots to optimize cooling and maintain performance in dense deployments.
• Power configuration: 2 unpopulated modular PSU slots that support AC or DC power for flexible redundancy.
• Compliance: TAA compliant, suitable for government and enterprise procurement.

This switch is purpose-built for environments where security, reliability, and future-proofing matter most. The MACsec-enabled 48-port core ensures data protection across the access layer, while the two QSFP28 stacking ports provide scalable uplinks to core switches or aggregation layers. The modular design—VIM expansion, spare fan slots, and modular PSUs—offers a clear upgrade path without replacing the chassis, helping to extend the useful life of the deployment and protect your hardware investment.
