Extreme Networks X695-48Y-8C

Overview

The Extreme Networks X695-48Y-8C is a high-performance network switch designed for aggregation layers and demanding enterprise core environments. It features forty-eight SFP28 ports capable of running at 1, 10, or 25 Gbps, alongside eight QSFP28 uplink slots that support 100 Gbps connections. This one-rack-unit switch delivers dense, high-speed connectivity ideal for data centers and campus networks requiring robust bandwidth and scalable architecture.

Its compact design fits neatly into standard racks without requiring cabinet rearrangement, making it a practical choice for environments where space and performance are both critical. The switch supports modular cooling and power options, allowing customization to meet specific operational needs, including fanless operation for noise-sensitive locations.

• Compatible with standard rack environments and existing Extreme Networks management tools

Performance and reliability

Built for continuous high performance, this switch handles demanding workloads with minimal risk of downtime. Its modular design allows for hot-swappable fans to maintain optimal operating temperatures in high-density setups, while fanless operation is available for quieter environments. The ability to select power supplies based on efficiency and redundancy needs further enhances reliability and energy management.

• Designed for 24/7 operation in enterprise and data center settings
• Hot-swappable cooling modules reduce maintenance downtime
• Customizable power options support redundancy and energy efficiency

Ideal uses and environments

The X695-48Y-8C excels in data centers and campus networks where high-speed east-west traffic is critical. It is well suited for top-of-rack deployment in virtualized environments, supporting hyperconverged infrastructure and research clusters that demand scalable bandwidth. Network teams looking for a switch that balances port density, speed, and flexible cooling will find this model a strong fit.

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.
