Extreme Networks 5420M-24W-4YE

Overview

The Extreme Networks 5420M-24W-4YE is a 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to deliver robust PoE++ power and advanced Layer 3 control for edge and aggregation network layers. It supports a total power budget of 1440 W, allowing each copper port to provide up to 60 W, which is ideal for powering Wi-Fi access points, PTZ security cameras, VoIP phones, and digital signage without the need for additional power injectors. With flexible uplink options including four SFP28 ports supporting 1, 10, or 25 Gigabit speeds and two SFP-DD ports for stacking, this switch offers scalable performance for growing network environments.

Key features

• Power over Ethernet Plus Plus (PoE++) on all 24 copper ports to support high-power devices directly from the switch
• Flexible uplink speeds with four SFP28 ports that accept 1, 10, or 25 Gigabit optics for diverse network demands
• Stacking capability with two SFP-DD ports allowing up to eight switches to be combined, providing a high aggregate bandwidth of 328 Gbps
• Advanced Layer 3 features enable routing at the edge, supporting larger VLAN counts and efficient traffic segmentation
• Security enhanced by MACsec encryption to protect sensitive data on links between access points and switches
• Management options include a familiar command-line interface (CLI) and remote tools for streamlined network administration
• Rack-mountable design fits standard 19-inch racks, simplifying installation in existing network cabinets or server rooms

The two SFP-DD stacking ports allow multiple switches to operate as a single logical unit, simplifying management and increasing bandwidth capacity.

• 24 copper ports with PoE++ for powering devices directly
• 4 SFP28 ports compatible with 1, 10, or 25 Gigabit optics
• 2 SFP-DD ports for high-speed stacking of up to eight switches

Performance and reliability

Designed for demanding network environments, this switch supports a large MAC address table and advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities to handle complex traffic patterns and segmentation. The inclusion of MACsec encryption ensures data integrity and confidentiality across critical links. Its high power budget and efficient power distribution make it suitable for dense deployments of powered devices without compromising performance. The rack-mountable chassis and robust hardware design contribute to reliable operation in enterprise and campus settings.

Ideal uses and environments

The Extreme Networks 5420M-24W-4YE fits well in campus wiring closets, branch offices, and other sites requiring dense PoE++ support combined with advanced network management. It is a strong choice for organizations deploying multiple Wi-Fi access points, security cameras, and VoIP phones that demand consistent power and high-speed connectivity. Network teams managing growing infrastructures will benefit from its stacking capabilities and Layer 3 features, which allow for scalable and segmented network designs without frequent topology changes.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
