The ExtremeSwitching 5420 Series are high-performance, feature-rich edge switches designed for the next-generation digital enterprise. The 5420 Series universal hardware design provides end-to-end secure network segmentation, in addition to advanced policy capabilities, and offers a user-selectable choice of Extreme’s flagship switch operating systems. This makes the 5420 a uniquely flexible platform that can be deployed across a range of edge and wiring-closet environments.

The 5420 Series consists of 14 models split across 5420M and 5420F families to address a variety of end-user needs and price points. 5420M models include field-replaceable power supplies and fans, and 4 x 1/10/25Gb built-in uplink ports. 5420F models have a fixed power supply and fixed fan(s), a second field-replaceable power supply, and 4 x 1/10Gb built-in uplink ports.

Both 5420M and 5420F families include 24 and 48-port 1 Gigabit models, as well as 1/2.5 Gigabit multi-rate models. Both also provide 30/60/90W PoE capabilities making them an ideal wired backend for wireless APs or in support of next gen power Ethernet devices, such as digital signage, pantilt-zoom cameras, smart lighting, or point-of-sale terminals.
