Switch gestionado Edgecore ECS5520-18T Layer 2+ con 16x 10GbE SFP+ y 2x 40GbE QSFP+ F0PEC5520200S

Aggregating high-bandwidth access in enterprise and campus networks demands a switch that can handle dense 10G connectivity without bottlenecks. The Edgecore ECS5520-18T addresses this need with a compact 1U form factor, combining sixteen 10GbE SFP+ ports and two 40GbE QSFP+ uplinks for flexible, high-speed aggregation.

Who is it for

This managed Layer 2+ switch suits network administrators and IT teams who need to connect multiple 10G devices—servers, storage, or access switches—while maintaining simple management and reliable performance. It is ideal for small to medium-sized enterprise networks or campus distribution layers.

Main features

• 16 x 10GbE SFP+ ports for high-density fiber or copper connectivity.
• 2 x 40GbE QSFP+ uplink ports for high-capacity uplinks or stacking.
