Data Center Switch
AS5710-54X, AS5712-54X
10GbE Data Center Switch
Bare-Metal Hardware
Product Overview
The Edgecore AS5710-54X/AS5712-54X switch meets the high-performance, availability, and network-scaling requirements of
enterprise and cloud data centers. The AS5710-54X/AS5712-54X provides full line-rate switching at Layer 2 or Layer 3 across 48 x
10GbE ports and 6 x 40GbE uplinks. The switch can be deployed either as a Top-of-Rack switch, or as part of a 10GbE or 40GbE
distributed spine, forming a non-blocking folded CLOS data center fabric. The switch is rack mountable in either a standard 19 inch
rack, or with the Open Rack Switch Adapter in the 21 inch Open Rack.
The AS5710-54X/AS5712-54X hardware provides the high availability features required for data center operation, including;
redundant, hot-swappable AC or -48 VDC PSUs or 12 VDC power input; fan with 4+1 redundant fan modules; and port-to-power or
power-to-port airflow options. The AS5710-54X/AS5712-54X is an ideal Top-of-Rack switch for virtualized data centers, with its
support of VXLAN and NVGRE tunneling functions in hardware.
