Layer 2+ 5520-12MW-36W Managed Multi-Gigabit PoE++ Network Switch with MACsec, 36 Ports, 90W PoE, VIM Slot, and Stacking Support

Product Description:
The 5520-12MW-36W is a high-performance Layer 2+ managed switch built for demanding enterprise and campus networking environments. Designed to support both legacy and next-generation connected devices, this switch delivers flexible high-speed connectivity with multi-rate port capabilities (100Mb/1Gb/2.5Gb/5Gb) and powerful PoE++ functionality conforming to the IEEE 802.3bt 90W standard.

With 36 10/100/1000BASE-T full-duplex/half-duplex Ethernet ports, this switch ensures consistent data flow and robust link reliability across a variety of networked devices. Ideal for dense device deployments, it provides maximum power efficiency and adaptability via three modular fan trays and dual modular PSU slots for redundancy and scalability. The switch is MACsec-capable, offering hardware-based security features for encrypted data protection at Layer 2, enhancing secure transmission over the network.

The unpopulated VIM (Versatile Interface Module) slot and QSFP28 stacking interfaces provide further scalability and modular expansion opportunities, enabling simplified deployment in complex network architectures. Whether for IoT-heavy campuses, smart buildings, or enterprise backbones, the 5520-12MW-36W is engineered for performance, security, and flexibility.

Features:
• 36 multi-rate 10/100/1000BASE-T ports with full- and half-duplex support
• Supports 100Mb/1Gb/2.5Gb/5Gb speeds for flexible device compatibility
• IEEE 802.3bt compliant PoE++ delivering up to 90W per port
• MACsec-capable for advanced Layer 2 data encryption and network security
• 2 QSFP28 ports for high-speed stacking or uplink configurations
• 1 unpopulated VIM slot for modular expansion
• Includes 3 hot-swappable fan modules for optimized cooling
• 2 unpopulated modular PSU slots for power redundancy
