Edgecore ECS5520-18X 16-Port 10G SFP+ 40G Enterprise Switch

Brand:

Edgecore ECS5520-18X is an 18-port 10G aggregation switch with 16 SFP+ ports and 2 QSFP+ 40G uplinks, built for enterprise aggregation, carrier networks and compact data center ToR deployments.

OVERVIEW

  • Edgecore ECS5520-18X is a managed Layer 2+/Lite Layer 3 10G Ethernet aggregation switch positioned in the ECS5520 family for carrier, enterprise and compact data center networks. Its 16 x 10G SFP+ ports and 2 x 40G QSFP+ uplinks support high-density aggregation and 40G backbone connectivity, while MLAG, ERPS, ACLs, 802.1X, IPv6 controls and advanced QoS strengthen availability and operational control.
  • Compatibility & model compare: ECS5520-18X uses 10G SFP+; ECS5520-18T uses 10GBASE-T RJ-45, while both provide 2 x 40G QSFP+ uplinks.

USE CASES

  • Enterprise 10G aggregation for campus and office networks
  • Small data center top-of-rack server connectivity
  • Three-tier network aggregation and core deployments
  • Folded-Clos architectures requiring 10G access aggregation
  • Carrier Ethernet aggregation for high-bandwidth services
  • ISP business-service aggregation and network expansion
  • 40G spine or core uplinks from 10G aggregation layers
