QuantaMesh T4048-IX8D is a high-performance, high port density, and low- latency layer 3 managed switches for Data Center Leaf Switch or ToR (Top of Rack) applications. T4048-IX8D supports 48 SFP28 and 8 QSFP28 ports in a 1-Rack-Unit (1RU) switch that supports 2.0 Terabits per second (Tbps) of bandwidth. The 48-port downlink ports on the T4048-IX8D can be configured to work as either 1/10/25GbE ports, offering deployment flexibility and investment protection. The uplink can support up to eight 100GbE or eight 40GbE ports, or a combination of 10, 25, 40, 50 and 100GbE connectivity, offering flexible migration options. By levering merchant silicon chip, T4048-IX8D is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3by and is a high- performance and high-density Ethernet switch with advanced features such as a smart table, dynamic load balancing, and VXLAN/RIOT support. T4048-IX8D also supports larger table sizes, improves the performance for larger packet buffers, and reduces the latency. With the support of QNOS (Quanta Network OS), T4048-IX8D is the best choice for Data Center applications.
