Key Features and Benefits

Performance and Scalability

The Edgecore ECS5520-18X/ECS5520-18T is a high-performance

10 Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2+/Lite L3 managed switch with 480

Gbps switching capacity. The switch delivers wire-speed

switching performance on all 10GbE ports, taking full advantage

of aggregating high-performance Gigabit access switches with

10G uplinks, or TOR switches with links to 10G rack servers etc,

significantly improving the responsiveness of applications as

well as file and multimedia transfer times.

The two built-in 40G QSFP+ ports provide uplink flexibility,

allowing the insertion of fiber 40G transceivers to create 40Gbps

high-speed uplinks to service provider core or spine switches,

or corporate or campus networks, reducing bottlenecks and

increasing the performance of the access network. With

40G-to-10G SFP+ breakout cables, users can increase the

number of 10G SFP+ ports to 24.

The ECS5520-18X/ECS5520-18T provides dual hot swappable,

load sharing power supplies to ensure the reliability of the

switch. The airflow is from front to back and there is a

temperature sensor for fan speed control.
