Energy Ecient
Consuming less than eight watts per 10GbE interface, the EX4500
offers a low power solution for 10GbE top-of-rack, end-of-row,
and aggregation deployments. The EX4500 switches also improve
cooling efficiency with redundant variable-speed fans that
automatically adjust their speed based on existing conditions to
reduce power consumption.
Small Footprint
The EX4500 supports up to 48 wire-speed 10GbE ports in a single
2U platform.
