Edgecore Networks AS5812-54X 10GbE Data Center Switch - - Leaf Switch, power-to-port airflow

The AS5712-54X is a budget-friendly switch design that focuses on Leaf/Top of Rack deployments, catering to 10Gb server connectivity and providing 40Gb uplinks to the distribution/Spine layer of the network. With forty-eight SFP+ ports, each capable of operating at 1Gb or 10Gb, and six QSFP+ ports, each operating at 40Gb or can be broken out into four 10Gb (or 1Gb) ports each, the switch offers versatile connectivity options.

The AS5712-54X adopts a PHY-Less design, with direct connections of SFP+ and QSFP+ to the Serdes interfaces of the Broadcom BCM56854 720G Trident 2 switching silicon, ensuring cost-effectiveness, low latency, and power efficiency. The AS5812-54X SKU shares the same components as the AS5712-54X, except for the substitution of the Broadcom BCM56854 Trident 2 silicon with the BCM56864 Trident 2+ silicon. These two (AS5712-54X and AS5812-54X) are pin-compatible, with no other difference between them. The AS5712-54X includes traditional features found in Top of Rack switches, such as redundant field replaceable power supply and fan units, support for "Front to Back" or "Back to Front" air flow direction, and a modular CPU card that allows flexibility in CPU and memory configurations. This 1RU design supports both standard 19" rack deployments and standard 21" Open Rack deployments.
