Advanced Features Offer Versatile Deployment  

Combining superior resiliency, comprehensive security, and nonblocking performance, the Summit X450a switch is the
cornerstone of a high-performance network. Summit X450a series provides a high bandwidth, non-blocking architecture
with tri-speed copper Gigabit Ethernet ports for demanding Top-of-Rack data center applications. With optional 10 gigabit
trunks, Summit X450a switches connect to gigabit edge devices and provide a high-performance aggregation layer in a
traditional three-tier LAN. For Carrier Ethernet networks, Summit X450a switches deliver exceptional QoS and traffic
management capabilities.

Summit X450a Redundant Power Supply Units (PSUs)

EPS-500

EPS-500EPS-500 is the redundant AC Power Supply for

higher power consuming AC PSU based switches including Front View
Power-over-Ethernet enabled switches. EPS-500 is 1RU height
and works as a standalone. EPS-500 can be rack mounted in
a regular 19 inch rack system. EPS-500 comes with a DC output Rear View
cable to connect between the Summit switch and EPS-500.

EPS-150DC and EPS-T2

EPS-150DC is the redundant DC Power Supply for DC

PSU-based Summit switches. When installing it, the EPS-T2 Front View
power tray is required to rack-mount this external power
supply. EPS-T2 power tray can take up to two EPS-150DC
power modules, and each EPS-150DC works individually.
EPS-150DC comes with DC output cable to connect between Rear View
the Summit switch and EPS-150DC.
