Extreme Networks 5720 48-Ports PoE Universal Switch

The Extreme Networks 5720-48MXW is a rack-mountable Ethernet switch designed for organizations that need dependable speed, power, and security in a single platform. With forty-eight ports that handle both Gigabit and multi-Gigabit traffic, the switch moves data smoothly whether it sits at the edge of a campus network or aggregates traffic in a wiring closet.

Each port supports Power over Ethernet with delivery of up to 90 watts, so the switch can drive powered devices such as cameras, wireless access points, smart displays, or intelligent lighting without separate power injectors. This makes it a practical choice for smart buildings and branch offices that want to simplify cabling while preparing for next-generation hardware.

The unit operates on Extreme’s flagship operating system and brings advanced policy controls along with secure network segmentation. Administrators can stack multiple units through two expansion slots, add redundant power for peace of mind, and manage Layer 3 routing features to keep traffic flowing efficiently.

Whether you are rolling out retail stores that rely on IP-based point-of-sale devices, outfitting classrooms with interactive panels, or modernizing a corporate campus, the 5720-48MXW offers the scalability and resilience needed for a growing digital environment.
