7520-48Y-8C-AC-R 7520-48Y Switch with back-front airflow Ships with two AC power supplies six fans one 4-post rack mount kit Supports 48×25/10/1G and 8×100/40G ports

Product Description:

The NEW Extreme Networks 7520-48Y-8C-AC-R is a high-capacity, fixed-form factor enterprise switch engineered for robust Layer 2/3 switching and high-performance data center deployments. Offering 48 ports of 25/10/1 Gigabit Ethernet and 8 ports of 100/40 Gigabit Ethernet, this model is built to handle today’s most demanding traffic loads, virtualized applications, and hybrid cloud architectures.

What sets this model apart is its back-to-front airflow, designed specifically for data centers and network closets that follow a reversed thermal path. This airflow direction supports efficient cooling in rack-mounted environments with non-standard airflow requirements.

The switch ships ready for deployment with two AC power supplies, six modular fan units, and a 4-post rack mount kit, delivering full redundancy and cooling out of the box. Whether used at the aggregation layer or as a high-performance Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch, the 7520-48Y-8C-AC-R combines scalability, throughput, and flexible installation options for enterprise networks.

Features:

• 48 x 25/10/1G Ethernet ports and 8 x 100/40G uplink ports

• Back-to-front airflow design for reverse cooling environments

• Ships with 2 AC power supplies for power redundancy

• Includes 6 modular fans and a 4-post rack mount kit

• Layer 2/3 switching with support for secure, high-speed traffic

• Ideal for data centers, cloud edge, or enterprise aggregation

• Fixed-form factor with modular components for reliable uptime
