Product Features
Technical Overview
The 5420M-24W-24S-4YE offers a dual-purpose port architecture: 24x 10/100/1000Base-T PoE ports (IEEE 802.3bt compliant) for endpoint connectivity, complemented by 24x SFP slots for fiber aggregation and 4x SFP28 (25GbE) slots for high-speed uplinks or server connections. All 24 PoE ports support up to 90W per port, enabling support for high-power devices such as 802.11ax access points and pan-tilt-zoom cameras.
The switch delivers wire-speed forwarding with a maximum data transfer rate of 3.13 GB/s and supports advanced Layer 3 features including static and dynamic routing. It complies with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet to minimize power consumption during low traffic periods. Stacking is achieved via two dedicated 20GbE ports, allowing multiple units to be managed as a single logical switch.
This section brings together practical product details such as Features, Total Number of Network Ports, Network (RJ-45), Uplink Port, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This switch is engineered for network administrators who need both high PoE output and flexible uplink options in a compact 1U form factor. The combination of 24 PoE+ ports with a 1.44 kW budget and 28 expansion slots (24 SFP + 4 SFP28) ensures that the switch can serve as both an access layer PoE aggregator and a distribution switch with high-speed uplinks.
High PoE Density
24 ports each delivering up to 90W (IEEE 802.3bt) with a total budget of 1.44 kW, capable of powering the most demanding endpoints.
Flexible Uplinks
4 x 25GbE SFP28 slots provide high-bandwidth uplinks to core switches or servers, while the 24 SFP slots allow fiber connectivity to remote closets.
Layer 3 Intelligence
Full Layer 3 switching with static and dynamic routing reduces the need for a separate router in many access/aggregation deployments.
Deployment / Use Cases
The 5420M-24W-24S-4YE is ideal for enterprise campus networks requiring high PoE budgets for wireless access points and security cameras, combined with fiber aggregation to a core network. In a typical deployment, the 24 PoE ports connect to Wi-Fi 6/6E access points and IP cameras, while the SFP slots provide fiber downlinks to IDFs and the 25GbE uplinks connect to a 25GbE or 100GbE core switch.
Another common use case is in converged networks where the switch serves as a top-of-rack unit in a data center, providing 25GbE server connectivity alongside PoE for management and monitoring devices. The stacking capability allows horizontal expansion without management overhead.
Campus Access Layer
Deploy as a PoE access switch for high-density wireless and surveillance, with fiber uplinks to the distribution layer.
- 24 PoE++ ports for APs/cameras
- 24 SFP for fiber to IDFs
- 4x 25GbE to core
Data Center ToR
Use as a top-of-rack switch for 25GbE server connectivity, with PoE for lights-out management.
- 4x 25GbE to servers
- PoE for iLO/iDRAC
- Stack for aggregation
Physical Profile
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.72" (43.70 mm), 17.36" (441 mm), 13" (330.20 mm), 9.85 lb (4470 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
Physical fit matters beyond raw measurements because it affects placement, airflow, cable routing, handling, and day-to-day service access. Buyers often review this section to reduce installation surprises and confirm whether the product will sit cleanly in the intended desk, shelf, rack, cabinet, or shared workspace.
