48-port 10G managed switch

The Cisco SG550X-48 is a rack-mountable Layer 3 switch that provides 48 ports with 10GBase-T, 10GBase-X and 10/100/1000Base-T connectivity. It suits organisations that need managed 10 Gbps access for servers, storage or aggregation.

Sustained 10 Gbps operation

Managed operation and Layer 3 routing let the switch maintain full 10 Gbps throughput across all ports under continuous load. The 550X series hardware is built for constant forwarding without the thermal throttling seen in lighter-duty units.

Rack space and power budget

Verify that your rack can accept a standard rack-mountable chassis and that your power infrastructure can support the unit’s draw. The switch weighs 8.22 lb, so confirm mounting hardware and shelf rating before ordering.

Questions about this item

How much power does the SG550X-48 draw when running 48 ports at 10GBase-T all day?

The SG550X-48 is a managed Layer 3 switch with 48 ports supporting 10GBase-T, 10GBase-X and 10/100/1000Base-T speeds in a rack-mountable format weighing 8.22 lb.

What cabling and modules must I already have to use the 10GBase-X ports on this switch?

The 10GBase-X ports accept standard SFP+ transceivers and fibre patch cords; the 10GBase-T and 10/100/1000Base-T ports use Cat6a or better copper cable up to 100 m.

Will the SG550X-48 negotiate down to 1 Gbps for older servers still on 1000Base-T?

Yes, each port auto-negotiates 10G, 1G, 100M or 10M speeds so legacy 10/100/1000Base-T devices connect without configuration changes.
