BS5520-48T-PWR Nortel 5520-48T-PWR Managed PoE Ethernet Switch 48 x 10/100/1000Base-T LAN Network Switch

Nortel 5520-48T-PWR BS5520-48T-PWR

Built for organizations keeping proven infrastructure in service with compatible hardware, the Nortel 5520-48T-PWR (BS5520-48T-PWR) is a managed Gigabit Ethernet PoE switch from Nortel.

On the front panel you get 48 x 10/100/1000BASE-T, ready for copper and fiber connections as your design requires. With Power over Ethernet (PoE) built in, it powers access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones and IoT sensors straight from the switch, which simplifies installation in ceilings and on walls. Cat5e or Cat6 patch leads let each copper port reach its full Gigabit speed. Cabled connections avoid the interference and congestion that can affect wireless networks.

Network administrators get granular control over traffic, security and monitoring through its management interfaces. Port counters and SNMP integration feed your monitoring tools with useful health data. VLAN segmentation isolates sensitive systems from general user traffic. Keeping firmware up to date, where supported, helps maintain security and stability. Aggregated links provide extra uplink capacity and keep traffic flowing if one cable fails.

Adding this unit expands capacity without a costly network redesign. Identical models across a site make firmware and configuration management simpler. Adequate airflow around the unit helps it run reliably for years. A dedicated switch gives your network a central, organized connection point for wired devices. It is a practical choice for keeping Nortel-based networks running or for expanding them with matching hardware. For anyone sourcing PoE switching, the BS5520-48T-PWR combines Nortel engineering with practical, everyday performance.
