Edgecore Networks has launched the ECS5500-12T and ECS5500-12P, two compact, high-performance 10G Layer 2+/Lite L3 access switches designed to power the next wave of Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 deployments, IoT growth, and edge network expansion. With support for multi-gigabit speeds across all downlink ports, up to 480W of PoE++ power, and robust environmental protections, the new switches deliver enterprise-grade performance in a form factor suited for both edge and indoor environments.
The ECS5500-12P provides 60W per PoE++ port and a total power budget of 480W, enabling full-power support for all 8 powered ports. Both models offer 8 x RJ-45 ports (1G/2.5G/5G/10G) and 4 x 10G uplink ports (2 x SFP+ and 2 x 10G BASE-T), making them well-suited for high-throughput devices like Wi-Fi 7 APs, AI surveillance cameras, NAS systems, and cloud-based applications. Built for harsh conditions, they operate between -20°C to 55°C, feature 6KV surge protection, and run quietly under 39dB—ideal for smart buildings, outdoor cabinets, and office deployments.
Security and manageability are key strengths, with support for features like 802.1X authentication, ACLs, ERPS protection, Dying Gasp alerts, and both cloud-based (Edgecore ecCLOUD, TIP OLS) and local management. Designed for education, SMBs, surveillance, and smart buildings, the ECS5500-12T/12P delivers a future-proof platform at a highly competitive price point.
