What is the maximum PoE power budget for this switch?

The 5420F-8W-16P-4XE supports 960W total PoE budget at 200-240VAC input (480W at 100-120VAC). This includes 8 ports at 90W each (802.3bt Type 4) and 16 ports at 30W each (802.3at Type 2), enabling simultaneous high-power device deployment across all PoE ports.

Can this switch replace a separate router in small networks?

Yes. The 5420F-8W-16P-4XE is a Layer 3 managed switch capable of inter-VLAN routing, eliminating the need for an external router in small to mid-size deployments. It supports CLI-based management and remote management protocols for enterprise-grade control.

What uplink options are available for core connectivity?

Four 1/10Gb SFP+ uplink ports provide flexible high-speed connectivity. Each port supports both 1Gb and 10Gb speeds, allowing deployment of 10G fiber uplinks to core infrastructure or 1Gb copper connections for cost-optimized designs.

Does this switch support network security encryption?

Yes. All 48 Ethernet ports and 4 SFP+ uplink ports support MACsec (IEEE 802.1ae) for link-layer encryption. The switch also supports 128-bit and 256-bit AES encryption algorithms for secure management traffic.

How many switches can be stacked together?

Up to 8 units can be stacked with 80Gb per-unit stacking bandwidth via two SFP-DD stacking ports. This enables distributed access layer scaling across multiple locations with unified management and simplified provisioning.

What power supply options are available?

The switch includes one internal fixed 660W AC PSU (100-120VAC) or 960W AC PSU (200-240VAC). An optional second field-replaceable PSU slot supports N+1 power redundancy for mission-critical deployments requiring continuous availability.

Is this switch suitable for Wi-Fi 6E access point deployment?

Yes. The 8 dedicated 90W 802.3bt Type 4 ports are specifically designed for high-power devices like Wi-Fi 6E access points. The 16 additional 30W ports support standard Wi-Fi 5 APs, enabling mixed-generation wireless deployments on a single switch.
