Welcome to the top of the network: the future-proof CRS520-4XS-16XQ-RM with extra computing power, 4 GB DDR4 RAM and the best price per 100 Gigabit port we’ve seen yet.

With 16x 100 Gigabit QSFP28 ports, 4x 25 Gigabit SFP28 ports and an additional pair of 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, this switch can significantly upgrade complicated enterprise networks, data centres, multimedia studios and other setups where you typically use multiple devices. Now a single CRS520 is all you need!

Avid CCR users may recognise the powerful quad-core 2 GHz ARM CPU and wonder: why does a switch need so much power? Two reasons:

1) CRS520 is more than a switch. You can run OSPF/BGP, out-of-band/management VPNs, ACLs, jumbo frames and even L3HW offloaded routing;

2) Future-proofing: While our friends at Marvell are constantly expanding the capabilities of their spectacular switch chips, our in-house software team is working on ways to add even more hardware offloaded features. You can expect software updates that will take the CRS520 to the next level! And all without paywalls or subscriptions.

Two hot-swap power supplies and four hot-swap fans for cooling are included. This switch can also be operated with the separately available hot-swap power supply PW48V-12V150W -48V DC for telecommunications.
