Silver 1U rack-mount switch with 48 SFP28 ports and 4 QSFP28 uplinks

EVESKY

EVESKY C9500-48Y4C-E 48-port 25G network switch

SKU CH-BY07-EBGKM

A 48-port 25G switch delivering up to 1.6 Tbps switching capacity and 1 Bpps forwarding rate for enterprise campus networks

  • 48 ports at 25G for high-density campus connectivity
  • Up to 1.6 Tbps switching capacity handles heavy traffic loads
  • Up to 1 Bpps forwarding rate sustains line-rate performance
  • 40 and 100G QSFP uplinks enable flexible core aggregation
  • Advanced routing and virtualization features simplify enterprise operations

Enterprise campus 25G aggregation

The EVESKY C9500-48Y4C-E is a fixed-configuration Catalyst 9500 Series switch that provides forty-eight 25 Gigabit Ethernet SFP28 ports and four 100 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 uplinks. It is built for organisations that need high-density 25G connectivity in the campus core or distribution layer.

Replaces 10G or 1G uplinks

Moving from 10 Gigabit or 1 Gigabit aggregation to this 25G platform is worthwhile when server and storage links regularly saturate existing uplinks and the network requires the 1.6 Tbps switching capacity or 1 Bpps forwarding rate for sustained throughput.

Limited to SFP28 and QSFP28 optics

The switch only accepts SFP, SFP+ and SFP28 transceivers for the access ports and QSFP+, QSFP28 modules for the uplinks, so cabling must match those form factors and supported reach specifications.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and mounting hardware does the C9500-48Y4C-E require?

The Catalyst 9500 Series is built for standard 1U rack-mount installation; the unit includes the manufacturer’s sliding rail kit and front-mount brackets for a four-post cabinet.

Which licensing step is often missed when the switch is first powered on?

After the initial boot, the IOS-XE image requires a valid DNA Essentials or DNA Advantage licence to be registered in the Cisco Smart Account before any 25G or 100G ports will pass traffic.

Which field-replaceable parts will need attention after several years of continuous operation?

The dual hot-swap power supplies and the redundant fan tray are the only components rated for in-service replacement; both are ordered under the same C9500 accessory part numbers.
