Campus Distribution Switch

The HPE Juniper Networking EX4650-48YProduct is a Layer 3 rackmount switch built for campus distribution and enterprise top-of-rack deployments. It provides 48 ports of 25 Gigabit Ethernet and 8 uplinks of 100 Gigabit Ethernet in a single fixed chassis. The platform supports advanced campus environments requiring high scale and high availability.

Teams Deploying Multicloud Onramps

This switch suits networking teams that need 25GBase-X access density with 100GBase-X uplink capacity for multicloud connectivity and IoT aggregation. It is not suited for buyers who require only 1GbE or 10GbE edge connectivity, or for sites that cannot provision SFP28 and QSFP28 optics. Teams without Layer 3 routing requirements should evaluate simpler alternatives.

High-Density 25G Access with 100G Uplinks

The 56 total expansion slots deliver 48 SFP28 ports for server or aggregation links plus 8 QSFP28 uplinks for spine or core connections. Optical media handles the full 25G and 100G line rates without oversubscription at the port level. Capacity runs out when port density must exceed 48 access ports or when uplink demand exceeds eight 100G interfaces.

Highlights

  • 48 ports of 25 GbE for dense campus connectivity

  • Layer 3 switching enables advanced routing in distribution
  • 56 total expansion slots using SFP28 and QSFP28

Questions about this item

What SFP28 and QSFP28 transceivers must I already have to populate the 48 x 25G and 8 x 100G ports on this EX4650-48Y?

You need 48 SFP28 modules for the 25GBase-X ports and 8 QSFP28 modules for the 100GBase-X uplinks; both use optical fibre.

Will my existing 10G SFP+ modules work in the 25G SFP28 ports of this switch?

The 48 primary ports are 25GBase-X SFP28; they do not auto-negotiate down to 10G SFP+ without a compatible 25G transceiver.

After cabling, which front-panel LEDs confirm every 25G and 100G link is up on the EX4650-48Y?

Each SFP28 and QSFP28 cage shows a green link LED when its 25GBase-X or 100GBase-X connection is active.
