ECS5520-18X / ECS5520-18T

The ECS5520 series consists of two switches with sixteen 10GbE SFP+ ports or 10GBASE-T ports and two 40GbE uplink ports. The switches are designed for carrier/enterprise aggregation or small data center top-of-rack.

The ECS5520 series is an ideal solution for traditional three-tier aggregation or core topologies and folded-Clos architectures, serving with a 2:1 oversubscription.

ISPs can expand their services from home to business users by providing a more reliable and resilient network (ITU-T G.8032 ERPS), L2 VPNs, and advanced OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) functions to ensure service-level agreements.

• High-performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2+/Lite L3 managed switch with 480 Gbps switching capacity.
• Wire-speed switching performance on all 10GbE ports.
• Two built-in 40G QSFP+ ports for uplink flexibility.
• Expandable to 24 x 10G SFP+ ports using 40G-to-10G breakout cables.
• Dual hot-swappable, load-sharing power supplies for reliability.
• Front-to-back airflow with temperature sensor for fan speed control.

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.
