Benefits

Unique 24 GbE Copper and Fiber Connectivity in 1U-height Design

ZyXEL XGS-4728F Gigabit Ethernet Access Switch provides high-performance switching

functionalities to triple-play services such as Internet data exchange, Web surfing, IPTV and VoIP

telephony. The advantages not only fulfill customer needs but also enable service providers to

generate more profit.

Unlike competitors’ offering of individual models for GbE copper and fiber connectivity, the leading

architecture employed by XGS-4728F delivers 24 1000Base-T copper interfaces along with standard

RJ-45 connectors and 24 SFP slots in a 19” 1U enclosure. This unique benefit gives network designers

the highest flexibility and cost saving in terms of equipment investment, network administration and

system maintenance.

Built-in Stacking Ports Eliminate Hidden Network Expansion Cost

With two high-performance 12G stacking ports on the back panel, over 10 units of the XGS-4728F can

be easily hard-stacked in a ring architecture; this feature makes the XGS-4728F highly scalable and

eases the network expansion and administration. Moreover, as the stacking ports come with every

XGS-4728F unit, customers have no need to spend extra for stacking modules and stacking cables.

Stackable 24-port L3 Gigabit Switch with optional 10G uplinks

XGS-4728F

True Wire-speed L3 Switching for High-Performance Networks

Each XGS-4728F provides 144 Gbps switching capacity for wire-speed performance delivered on all

GbE copper/fiber ports within the stack, as well as stacking ports and optional 10G uplinks. In

addition, advanced L3 switching, multicasting, resiliency including OSPF, DVMRP, VRRP also help

delivering optimal performance to the entire network.

Build-Up Large Networking Environment

The XGS-4728F designed for large Internet Services Provider and Telco market, increasing network

capability scare and provide fast efficient solution for customer. 16 K MAC Entries/8 K Routing Path is

an idea for large Internet services.
