Extreme Networks X695 48-Port 25Gbps Switch with 8x100Gbps Uplinks

The Extreme Networks X695-48Y-8C is a switch designed for aggregation layers and demanding enterprise cores. It offers forty-eight SFP28 ports that run at 1, 10, or 25 Gbps and eight QSFP28 uplink slots that move traffic at 100 Gbps. The hardware fits into a one-rack-unit space, so you can add high-density connectivity without rearranging the cabinet.

This model excels as a top-of-rack platform in data centers where high-speed east-west traffic matters, or as a campus aggregation point that feeds multiple wiring closets at 100 Gbps. Network teams handling virtualized server farms, hyperconverged storage, or research clusters will appreciate both the bandwidth headroom and the straightforward path to spine-leaf architectures.

Cooling and power are modular. The chassis accepts optional hot-swappable fan units for sites that need extra airflow, yet it can operate in a fanless state when silence takes priority. Power supplies are ordered separately, letting you choose the voltage, efficiency rating, and redundancy level that match the rest of your rack.

The switch is fully managed, so you gain fine-grained control over VLANs, quality-of-service rules, and security policies through the familiar Extreme Networks software environment. The build is engineered for continuous operation, supporting business-critical tasks that cannot afford downtime.
