Product Features
Technical Overview
Built on Extreme Networks' ExtremeSwitching platform, this switch operates at Layer 2 with full management capabilities for VLANs, QoS, security policies, and traffic prioritization. The 48 RJ-45 ports deliver Gigabit Ethernet speeds with PoE+ support, providing up to 30W per port to connected devices.
Eight SFP+ expansion slots enable 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks using 10GBase-X optics or direct-attach cables, creating high-bandwidth connections to aggregation switches or core network infrastructure. The switch supports both 10/100/1000Base-T copper Ethernet and 10GBase-X fiber standards, giving network administrators media flexibility based on distance, interference, and bandwidth requirements.
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

User Manual
FAQ
How many PoE+ ports does this switch have?
The Extreme Networks 5320-48P-8XE provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, all of which support Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+). This means each of the 48 RJ-45 ports can deliver up to 30W of power to compatible devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras, eliminating the need for separate power injectors.
What type of uplink expansion does this switch support?
This switch includes eight SFP+ expansion slots that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. These slots accept SFP+ transceivers for either optical fiber connections (using 10GBase-X standards) or copper direct-attach cables, providing high-speed connectivity to aggregation switches, core network infrastructure, or other high-bandwidth destinations.
What switching layer does this Extreme Networks switch operate at?
The ExtremeSwitching 5320 operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model, providing full managed switching capabilities. This includes support for VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), security features, traffic prioritization, and other enterprise switching functions that enable secure and efficient network segmentation and traffic management.
What media types are supported by this Ethernet switch?
This switch supports both optical fiber and twisted pair media. For the 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, it uses standard twisted pair copper cabling (CAT5e/CAT6/CAT6a). For the eight SFP+ uplink slots, it supports optical fiber connections for longer distances or copper direct-attach cables for shorter runs, giving network administrators flexibility in deployment.
Is this switch modular or fixed configuration?
The ExtremeSwitching 5320 is a modular switch design. While the 48 Gigabit PoE+ ports are fixed, the eight SFP+ uplink slots provide modular expansion capabilities. This modular approach allows network administrators to choose appropriate SFP+ transceivers based on distance, media type, and bandwidth requirements for their specific deployment scenario.
What is the power supply configuration for this switch?
This switch comes with one built-in power supply installed. The integrated power supply provides both operational power for the switch itself and PoE+ power budget for connected devices. The single power supply design simplifies installation while still delivering the necessary power for the 48 PoE+ ports and switch operations.
