Lenovo G8052 48-Port Gigabit Switch

The Lenovo RackSwitch G8052 is a rack-mount Ethernet switch that provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and four 10 Gigabit Ethernet expansion slots. It is designed for data-centre and enterprise racks that need high-density copper connectivity with optional fibre uplinks.

Suited for high-density 1G access layers

This switch fits teams building or expanding a 1G access layer where most endpoints use copper cabling and uplinks can run over SFP modules. It is not suited for buyers who need built-in 10G copper ports or Power over Ethernet on the 48 front-panel ports.

48 Gigabit ports with 4 SFP+ uplinks

The deciding specification is the combination of 48 fixed Gigabit Ethernet ports plus four SFP+ slots that accept 10G transceivers. If your design requires more than four 10G uplinks or needs integrated PoE, this model will not meet those requirements.
