Extreme Networks X440-G2-48t-10GE4 | 48-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
The Extreme Networks X440-G2-48t-10GE4 is a high-density, enterprise-grade switch designed for demanding network environments. This powerful switch features 48 x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, 4 x 1GbE SFP ports upgradeable to 10GbE via software license, and comprehensive Layer 2/3 capabilities. Built on the robust ExtremeXOS operating system, it offers advanced features including PoE+ support, SummitStack-V stacking, and cloud management via ExtremeCloud™.
Key Features
- 48 x Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports + 4 x SFP uplink ports (upgradable to 10GbE)
- ExtremeXOS OS with advanced security and management features
- Support for SummitStack-V technology (up to 8 switches)
- Comprehensive PoE/PoE+ support for connected devices
- Role-based policy enforcement and cloud management via ExtremeCloud™
Technology & Standards
The X440-G2 series switches support a wide range of IEEE standards including 802.3ab (1000BASE-T), 802.3z (1000BASE-X), 802.3ae (10GBASE-X), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet). These switches also feature advanced security protocols, QoS mechanisms, and support for Audio Video Bridging (AVB) on select models.
How It Works
The X440-G2-48t-10GE4 operates at both Layer 2 and Layer 3, providing routing, switching, and policy-based traffic management. It uses hardware-based forwarding engines to deliver low-latency performance with less than 4 microseconds latency for 64-byte packets. The switch supports advanced features like granular bandwidth control (8 Kbps increments), 8 QoS egress queues per port, and comprehensive ACL support for precise traffic management.
Applications
Ideal for enterprise edge deployments, campus networks, educational institutions, and medium to large businesses. Supports VoIP systems, wireless access points, IP surveillance cameras, and AVB-enabled audio/video equipment. The high port density makes it suitable for wiring closets and network aggregation points.

FAQ
Q: Can the SFP ports be upgraded to 10GbE on this model?
A: Yes, the four SFP ports can be upgraded to 10GbE with a software license (Dual or Quad 10GbE upgrade).
Q: Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
A: The X440-G2-48t-10GE4 model does not support PoE. For PoE capabilities, consider the X440-G2-48p-10GE4 model.
Q: How many switches can be stacked together using SummitStack-V?
A: Up to 8 X440-G2 switches can be stacked together using SummitStack-V technology.
Q: What is the maximum power consumption of this switch?
A: The maximum power consumption is 61 watts under full load without PoE.
Precautions
- Ensure proper ventilation and airflow to prevent overheating. Maintain clear space around intake and exhaust vents.
- Use only certified SFP/SFP+ modules from Extreme Networks for compatibility and warranty coverage.
- Follow local electrical and EMC regulations during installation.
- For extended temperature operation (0°C to 60°C), select specific extended temperature models.
- When using stacking functionality, ensure all switches in the stack are running the same version of ExtremeXOS.
