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 ...
Exploring the features of the Zyxel XMG1915-18EP, a 2.5-Gigabit PoE switch with a basic L3
We have a rather interesting class of L3 switches in front of us: multi-gigabit PoE models with a relatively small number of ports, an average PoE budget by modern standards, but 10-gigabit uplinks. They are interesting because the manufacturer has placed 2.5G PoE + 10G in a compact 9-inch rack housing with a silent fan, and such a switch can be installed at home, in a 1-room office, under a false ceiling or in narrow telecommunication cabinets.
We have a rather interesting class of L3 ...
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 ...
Huawei NetEngine 8000 review: Exploring the features of SRv6
Let's talk about the advantages of IPv6-based segment routing technology, which displaces LDP tag allocation and network resource reservation protocols, RSVP on the example of a 10-gigabit router for small businesses and consider how FlexE technology helps to maintain a guaranteed bandwidth level for customers.
.
In recent years, more equipment for routing network traffic has been supplied under the Huawei brand than under other brands, and part of the merit of the company is that it was at ...
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 ...

Zyxel MG-108 review, 2.5GBase-T unmanaged switch for home/office
Zyxel has a series of simple unmanaged switches for 2.5-Gigabit networks, with 5 and 8 ports. Both have a non-blocking switching matrix for full bandwidth: 25 and 40 Gbit/s, respectively, that is, they can be used in the most loaded networks. We will review and test the 8-port model.
That's how you live and don't think that the 1GBaseT standard has been exchanged for the third decade. Introduced back in 1999, it managed to acquire a lot of faster options, but it is still not going to give up ...
Review of Zyxel XGS1210-12 and XGS1010-12 multi-gigabit switches with a speed of 1/2.5/10 Gbps
Well, the time has come for more or less affordable switches for 2.5 Gigabit networks with copper cable and 10G on optics. In this model, even 1-gigabit ports are forwarded to a common matrix, which is why even on small packets high speed is maintained.
And you know that 10 Gigabit Ethernet was introduced back in 2006, and was created mainly for file servers of small companies, and after a decade and a half, it still remains a novelty for many consumers in the small business environment. The ...
Review of the Zyxel XGS4600-32 stackable Core Switch
The XGS4600 Series Gigabit Stackable Layer 3 Switches are designed for use as root devices in small hotel, office and business center networks. They have 10 Gigabit SFP + slots for server farms and come with a lifetime warranty.
Core switches perform the main function of distributing network traffic at a facility between WAN and network segments, such as Wi-Fi, video surveillance, workplaces, IPTV, and so on. Since they are the most critical network node, the design of such devices is ...
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 ...
