AS5600-52X
10GbE Data Center Switch
Bare-Metal Hardware
Product Overview
The Edgecore AS5600-52X hardware switch meets the high-performance, availability, and network-scaling requirements of
enterprise and cloud data centers. The AS5600-52X provides full line-rate switching at Layer 2 or Layer 3 across 48 x 10 GbE ports
and 4 x 40 GbE uplinks. The switch can be deployed either as a Top-of-Rack switch,
or as part of a 10 GbE or 40 GbE distributed spine, forming a non-blocking folded CLOS data center fabric.
The AS5600-52X hardware is designed for data centers, with a high port density of 64 x 10 GbE in a 1 RU enclosure; redundant,
hot-swappable, load-sharing AC or 48 VDC* PSUs; fan tray with n+1 redundant fans; and port-to-power or power-to-port airflow
options.
