WHY CHOOSE THIS PRODUCT?

• Organizations choose the RG-CS85-24SFP/8GT8XS-D when they require a versatile core switching platform capable of handling mixed media networks without compromising scalability or performance. It simplifies infrastructure planning by supporting fiber and copper endpoints within the same architecture.
• Compared to fixed-port core switches, it provides superior flexibility for evolving enterprise environments where network expansion often includes both legacy copper systems and modern fiber-based infrastructure. The addition of 8×10GE uplinks ensures sufficient backbone capacity for high-traffic workloads and inter-building connectivity.
• From a procurement perspective, it delivers strong lifecycle efficiency by reducing the need for multiple switch types in the core layer. This consolidation lowers operational costs, improves manageability, and supports long-term ROI through simplified scaling and hybrid infrastructure readiness.
