About This Part
The Part Number EX820048T is an advanced network switch module engineered for seamless integration into IBM's enterprise-class modular networking platforms, specifically within the EX8200 series chassis. This module functions as a high-density access or aggregation layer component, providing 48 ports of copper-based Ethernet connectivity. Given the "48T" designation, these ports are typically 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, enabling robust data transfer for server connectivity or workstation access within a data center or large enterprise network environment. Its modular form factor allows for flexible deployment and scalability, integrating seamlessly into a larger system architecture to deliver high-performance, low-latency switching capabilities. The module is engineered to support various network protocols and management features inherent to the IBM networking ecosystem, ensuring reliable and secure data plane operations. The IBM EX820048T module is primarily deployed within data centers, large enterprise campuses, and telecommunications central offices where high port density and modularity are critical. It supports server farms, virtualized environments, and high-performance computing clusters by providing essential network access. Telecom operators leverage such modules for back-office infrastructure, network management systems, and enterprise client services. Industries such as finance, healthcare, and government agencies utilize these robust IBM components to build resilient and scalable network infrastructures. This module effectively solves challenges related to space constraints and power efficiency by consolidating multiple network connections into a single, modular chassis, thereby replacing or upgrading older, less efficient standalone switches and expanding existing network capacity without a complete overhaul. Revo Distribution Limited specializes in providing B2B clients with cost-effective infrastructure solutions, including used and meticulously refurbished units of the IBM EX820048T.
