Extreme 16704-2SS Summit X460 Series 48 x Ports PoE+ GE Switch

Product Description

The Extreme Networks Summit X460 Series switch, specifically the 16704-2SS model, is a high-density, high-performance Ethernet switch designed for the demanding requirements of enterprise campus and data center access networks. With 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, it provides ample connectivity for a large number of end devices, such as workstations, IP phones, wireless access points, and IoT devices. The inclusion of PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) support simplifies deployment by allowing the switch to simultaneously provide network connectivity and electrical power to compatible devices over a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power adapters. This switch operates at Layer 3, enabling advanced routing capabilities and intelligent traffic management within the network. Its robust switching fabric ensures high throughput and low latency, critical for applications that are sensitive to delay. The Summit X460 Series is also known for its stackability, allowing multiple switches to be managed as a single logical unit, which enhances scalability, simplifies management, and improves network resilience. This feature is particularly valuable for growing networks that may need to expand their port density or performance over time. Beyond its core switching and routing functions, the 16704-2SS offers a comprehensive suite of features including advanced Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritizing critical traffic, robust security features like Access Control Lists (ACLs) and port security to protect the network, and energy-efficient operation. It is an ideal solution for organizations seeking a reliable, scalable, and feature-rich access layer switch.
