The new CX4800-56F 25G/100G aggregation fiber switch is designed to enable mid-sized and enterprise organizations and service providers to scale and grow their business.
It delivers exceptional switching capacity of up to 4Tbps, allowing businesses to scale their networks without making additional investments and overhauling infrastructure.
Zyxel Networks, a leader in delivering secure and AI-powered cloud networking solutions, is launching a premium 48-port 10G/25G L3 aggregation fiber switch with eight 100G uplinks, providing enterprise-grade connectivity with exceptional value.
With newer applications and latest technologies pushing bandwidth demands to new heights, the CX4800-56F provides the scalability, resilience and flexibility that medium-sized businesses, enterprises and service providers need to eliminate network bottlenecks and future-proof their networks.
Unparalleled scalability
The CX4800-56F provides a significant performance boost over traditional 10G switches, thanks to its eight 100G QSFP28 uplink ports and 48 SFP28 access ports that can run at 10G or 25G, providing ultra-fast connectivity and unparalleled switching capacity of up to 4 terabits per second (4Tbps). With this exceptional scalability, organizations can easily expand their campus network, and manage heavy data loads efficiently without overhauling their existing systems.
“The CX4800-56F is designed to not only meet the current demands of today’s network traffic but also offer the headroom needed for tomorrow’s technology-driven innovations,” said Kell Lin, Senior Associate Vice President, Networking Strategic Business Unit, Zyxel Networks. “For example, data-intensive applications such as AI and AR workloads require more bandwidth and less latency. With the right balance of performance, resilience and scalability, businesses can embrace these new technologies without worrying about outgrowing their network. This means cost savings through reduced downtime and increased operational efficiency.”
Ensuring uninterrupted service
The CX4800-56F addresses concerns over network downtime with dual power and four fan modules, providing enhanced network redundancy and resilience against power or heat interruptions. The hot-swappable design allows for easy replacement of power and fan module maintenance without the need to shut down the system, ensuring minimal impact on network operations.
Future-proof design
The CX4800-56F is designed with future growth in mind, serving as both an aggregation and core switch with Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionality and advanced security features. It can be managed on-premises or through Zyxel Networks’ Nebula cloud management platform. This enables administrators and service providers to connect, protect, and manage wireless access points, firewalls and switches through a single pane-of-glass.
When used in Network AV mode, the CX4800-56F provides an easy-to-deploy solution for audio-visual over IP (AVoIP) applications. The intuitive setup wizard and dedicated AV dashboard ensure reliable network performance, which is crucial for industries like healthcare. For example, medical clinics can now use the CX4800-56F to transfer medical imaging in 4K resolution across multiple displays, improving diagnostic accuracy and streamlining operations.
Zyxel Networks offers a full range of network switches, from desktop models to rackmount solutions, designed for businesses of all sizes. With on-premises and cloud management options, organizations can build robust and scalable networks that support their growth. The CX4800-56F is available now.
