Zyxel CX4800-56f review: 100G Switch with high redundancy

The Zyxel CX4800-56F is a high-density L3 aggregation optical switch in which the company pioneered the use of 100G ports: 8 QSFP28 100GbE uplinks complement 48 SFP+/SFP28 slots with 10/25gbe support, forming a single 56-port stack for traffic aggregation in campus and data centers factories. With a pass-through switching matrix of up to 4 Tbit/s and forwarding speeds of up to 2 billion packets per second, this switch confidently closes scenarios of highly loaded highways, where not only ...

The differences between expensive Ethernet switches and cheap ones using the example of Zyxel

We will take two switches: the Taiwanese brand Zyxel and the Chinese counterpart from a little-known manufacturer and look at the design differences and what they affect in order to answer the question - does it make sense to overpay for design features? It's no secret that almost all modern electronics are manufactured in China, even if they are developed in the USA, Europe, Japan or Taiwan – the Chinese have not only learned how to do things efficiently, but have also grown such IT giants ...

Testing the features of the L3 PoE switch IP-Com G5328P-24-410w

This is a 28-port switch, in which 4 ports are gigabit optics for Uplink, and the remaining 24 ports are 1-gigabit RJ45 PoE with a total power budget of 370 watts, and each of these ports can work both in 802.3af mode (up to 15.4 watts) and and in the mode 802.at (up to 30 watts). When integrating into the project, some features of this switch should be taken into account. Level 3 switches with PoE support are usually used to build enterprise Wi-Fi networks and video surveillance systems. And ...

Let's explore the features of Zyxel XMG1930-30HP, a switch with 2.5G/10G PoE ports and licensed L3 functions

Zyxel reasoned this way: if the L3 functionality is already determined only by the firmware, 99% choose an access switch for the sake of port density, PoE, VLAN, Multicast, and less often for static routing, then here's the base model XMG1930, which is generally L2, but slightly L3. And if your network requires advanced L3 functions, then all this is also there, just buy the appropriate license and get the core-level functionality. You can do this at any time, even when buying a device, even ...

Zyxel XS1920-12 10 Gigabit Switch Review

When testing this switch, we first of all check compatibility with cables and network adapters, evaluate the quality of the element base, speed and impact on latency between ports. When moving to a 10-gigabit network infrastructure, you are likely to come across two media: optical and copper. In the first case, these will most likely be backbone connections, and in the second, modern equipment, which usually has the 10Gbase-T standard. For these use cases, Zyxel has the XS1920, a 12-port ...

Zyxel GS1350-18HP: review of long-range PoE switch for surveillance

This model is designed specifically for video surveillance systems, and the switch supports remote reloading of PoE cameras, continuous power supply, and most importantly - connecting cameras at a distance of up to 250 meters. This is the function we will test with passion. Never in my life have I crimped so much cable as in this test. It would seem that I have always remembered the color sequence, repeating it over and over again as a spell: "orange with a stripe, orange, green with a ...
