Campus Switches Overview

Campus Switches includes two Layer 3 managed Ethernet switches built around 48-port Gigabit access and six 10GbE SFP+ uplinks. The series covers both copper and fiber network architectures, using 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 ports for enterprise access or 1GbE SFP ports for high-density optical aggregation. Both models provide dedicated 10GbE fiber uplinks for connections to campus distribution or core networks. The primary difference is the access interface: S1000-48T6S serves copper-based endpoint connectivity, while S1000-48X6S supports fiber-based aggregation across campus and metropolitan network infrastructure.

S1000-48T6S is a Layer 3 managed enterprise access switch with 48 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 ports and six 10GbE SFP+ uplink ports, providing 54 physical interfaces. Its copper access architecture connects Gigabit Ethernet devices across campus network access layers, while the six SFP+ ports carry higher-speed fiber links to upstream distribution infrastructure. The model combines dense RJ45 endpoint connectivity with dedicated 10GbE uplinks in a single managed switching platform.

S1000-48X6S is a Layer 3 managed fiber aggregation switch with 48 1GbE SFP ports and six 10GbE SFP+ uplink ports, providing 54 physical interfaces. Its all-fiber access configuration aggregates multiple Gigabit optical links while using the six higher-speed SFP+ interfaces for upstream connections. The switch is structured for high-density fiber aggregation in campus and metropolitan networks where access links and distribution paths are carried through SFP-based interfaces.

FAQ

How many physical network interfaces does the S1000-48T6S provide, and how are they divided between access and uplink ports?

It provides 54 physical interfaces: 48 × 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 access ports and 6 × 10GbE SFP+ uplink ports.

Can the S1000-48T6S connect endpoint devices operating at 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1Gbps over copper Ethernet?

Yes. Its 48 RJ45 access ports support 10/100/1000BASE-T connectivity for copper-based endpoint connections in enterprise and campus access networks.

What network role do the six 10GbE SFP+ ports on the S1000-48T6S perform in a campus deployment?

They serve as higher-speed fiber uplinks. The six SFP+ ports connect the access switch to campus distribution or core infrastructure at 10GbE.

Are all 54 physical interfaces on the S1000-48T6S capable of operating at 10GbE?

No. The 48 RJ45 access ports operate at 10/100/1000Mbps, while only the six SFP+ uplink ports provide 10GbE connectivity.

What is the access-interface difference between the S1000-48T6S and S1000-48X6S in the Campus Switches category?

The S1000-48T6S uses 48 copper 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 access ports, while the S1000-48X6S uses 48 × 1GbE SFP access ports for fiber aggregation. Both provide six 10GbE SFP+ uplinks.

Where is the S1000-48T6S positioned within a campus network architecture?

At the access layer. It connects copper-based Gigabit Ethernet endpoints through 48 RJ45 ports and forwards aggregated traffic upstream through six 10GbE SFP+ links.
