Zyxel has announced the availability of the XGS4600 Series, as an upgrade of the current XGS4500 Series. The XGS4600 Series is a line of 28-port Gigabit Layer 3 Managed switches with 4 SFP+ Uplink that come in two models: XGS4600-32 and XGS4600-32F.
Designed for bandwidth-intensive applications:
802.11ac has changed the way businesses support the large quantity of devices connecting to their corporate networks. Such demands are commonly found in hotels, schools, SMBs and many other places where activities like multimedia streaming, VoIP, video surveillance and constant connectivity among multiple users can easily overload the network and reduce business productivity.
The Layer-3 stackable XGS4600 Series comes with Gigabit connectivity and four integrated 10-Gigabit SFP+ slots that enable high-speed uplink connections. The product series also features dynamic routing to simplify cross-subnet communications to expand network coverage as well as network resiliency, helping users to cope with complex business operations.
Installation friendly for system integrators and engineers:
Zyxel XGS4600 Series boasts stack ability and fault-tolerant networks, allowing for physical stacks up to 4 units created through one or two 10GB SFP+ slots, managed as one switch. The stacking topology under the ring architecture ensures the system quickly recovers through another stacking connection in case one of the stacking links fail. The XGS4600 Series is designed to support active-standby power redundancy to trigger backup power supply to take over in case the main power supply fails.
Currently the two models, XGS4600-32 and XGS4600-32F, part of Zyxel XGS4600 Series, are both 28-port GbE L3 Managed switches with 4 SFP+ Uplink. The former offers with 24 x GbE RJ-45 ports, whereas the 24 x GbE SFP slots can be found in the latter.
