Stackable Managed Switch, 16 Port Gigabit Ethernet with 8 Port SFP+

High-Performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet Switching:

Cisco SX550X-16FT Stackable Managed Switch is a next-generation network solution, offering 16 ports of high-speed Gigabit Ethernet connectivity alongside 8 dedicated SFP+ uplink ports. Designed for growing businesses, it delivers a remarkable switching capacity of 320 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 238.08 mpps for 64-byte packets. With support for 10 GE copper and fiber connections, this switch provides seamless high-performance networking, ideal for data-intensive applications and demanding workloads.

True Stackable Managed Network Expansion:

Unlike many switches that claim to offer stacking but operate independently, the Cisco SX550X-16FT ensures true stacking functionality. You can configure, manage, and troubleshoot multiple units as a single device. This significantly simplifies network expansion and maintenance, making it easier to scale your network infrastructure efficiently without increasing operational complexity.

Energy Efficiency and Reduced Operational Costs:

The Cisco SX550X-16FT is built with energy efficiency in mind. Utilizing Green Ethernet technologies like Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), Energy Detect, and Short Reach, it helps minimize power consumption without compromising performance. Its total system power consumption stands at just 57W at 110V, making it both eco-friendly and cost-effective for long-term deployment in enterprise environments.

Robust Security and Easy Management:

Security is paramount, and the SX550X-16FT doesn’t disappoint. Equipped with comprehensive security features, it helps protect critical business data from unauthorized access and cyber threats. The switch includes a Cisco Standard RJ-45 console port and a dedicated out-of-band (OOB) management port for streamlined device control. Additionally, the front-panel USB Type-A slot allows for simple firmware upgrades and configuration backup.

Superior Reliability and Built-in Redundancy:

Engineered for continuous operation, the SX550X-16FT switch offers impressive reliability with an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of 412,309 hours at 50°C. It features a redundant fan system (2 + 1 fans) to ensure cooling even if one fan fails, enhancing uptime and preventing overheating. Acoustic noise levels are kept low at 39.1 dB under normal conditions, making it suitable for office environments.

Compact, Durable, and Certified for Quality:

Built with a sturdy design, the unit measures 440 x 44 x 257 mm and weighs just 3.79 kg. Its internal universal power supply supports 100-240V input, suitable for global operations. The Cisco SX550X-16FT meets several key certifications, including UL, CSA, CE mark, and FCC Class A, ensuring it adheres to strict quality, safety, and emissions standards.
