Product Features
Technical Overview
The ExtremeSwitching 5320 operates as a full-featured Layer 2 managed switch, supporting essential switching protocols including IGMP snooping, port mirroring, and spanning tree for network stability and traffic management. The 16 RJ-45 ports deliver Gigabit Ethernet speeds with Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) capability, allowing direct power delivery to connected devices such as wireless access points, IP phones, and security cameras.
Four dedicated SFP+ expansion slots provide 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink connectivity, enabling high-bandwidth connections to core switches, servers, or storage arrays. This uplink capacity ensures the switch won't become a bottleneck as network traffic increases. The switch supports both 10/100/1000Base-T copper connections and 10GBase-X fiber connections, giving network designers flexibility in media selection based on distance requirements and performance needs.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Network (RJ-45), Modular, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
This switch delivers several distinct advantages for network deployments requiring both high-density access connectivity and scalable uplink capacity. The combination of PoE+ support across all 16 Gigabit ports simplifies power infrastructure by eliminating the need for separate power injectors or electrical outlets at endpoint locations.
High-Speed Uplink Flexibility
Four SFP+ slots provide 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink options, allowing network administrators to choose between copper or fiber transceivers based on distance requirements and budget considerations.
- Supports 10GBase-X fiber connections
- Enables high-bandwidth backbone links
- Future-proofs network infrastructure
Comprehensive Layer 2 Features
As a managed Layer 2 switch, it includes advanced features for network optimization and troubleshooting, making it suitable for environments requiring traffic segmentation, monitoring, and redundancy.
- IGMP snooping for multicast optimization
- Port mirroring for traffic analysis
- Spanning tree protocols for loop prevention
Deployment / Use Cases
The ExtremeSwitching 5320 is well-suited for multiple deployment scenarios where a balance of access port density and uplink capacity is required. In office environments, it can serve as a distribution switch connecting multiple workgroups while providing PoE+ to wireless access points and VoIP phones throughout the floor.
For retail or hospitality deployments, the switch's PoE+ capability powers security cameras, digital signage, and point-of-sale systems while the 10Gb uplinks ensure smooth video surveillance streaming and transaction processing. Educational institutions can leverage this switch in classroom buildings where multiple devices require both network connectivity and power, with fiber uplinks connecting to the campus core network.
Mid-Size Business Core
Acts as an aggregation point for department switches with 10Gb uplinks to the data center, providing sufficient bandwidth for inter-department communication and server access.

FAQ
How many PoE+ ports does this switch have?
All 16 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports on the ExtremeSwitching 5320 support Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+). This allows the switch to deliver both data and power to connected devices such as wireless access points, IP phones, and security cameras, eliminating the need for separate power sources at endpoint locations.
What type of uplink expansion does this switch support?
The switch includes four SFP+ expansion slots that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. These slots accept SFP+ transceivers for either copper or fiber connections, providing flexible uplink options to core switches, servers, or storage arrays based on distance requirements and performance needs.
What Layer 2 features are included with this managed switch?
As a Layer 2 managed switch, the ExtremeSwitching 5320 includes comprehensive switching features such as IGMP snooping for efficient multicast traffic handling, port mirroring for network traffic analysis and troubleshooting, and spanning tree protocols for network loop prevention and redundancy.
Can this switch connect to both fiber and copper networks?
Yes, the switch supports both optical fiber and twisted pair media types. The 16 RJ-45 ports connect to standard copper Ethernet cables, while the four SFP+ slots can accommodate fiber transceivers for 10GBase-X fiber connections, making it suitable for mixed-media network environments.
What is the switching capacity between the access ports and uplinks?
The switch provides non-blocking switching between its 16 Gigabit Ethernet access ports and four 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports. This architecture ensures that traffic from connected devices can utilize the full uplink bandwidth without contention, supporting high-throughput applications and preventing bottlenecks in network traffic flow.
How many power supplies are included with this switch?
The ExtremeSwitching 5320 comes with one installed power supply. This internal power supply provides both operational power for the switch itself and PoE+ power budget for connected devices, ensuring reliable operation without requiring external power injectors for PoE-capable endpoints.
