Managed switch Zyxel CX4800-56F L3 1U 4000 Gbit/s 30000 MAC

The Zyxel CX4800-56F is a managed Layer 3 switch in a 1U rack form factor designed for data centers and enterprise networks. It delivers a switching capacity of 4000 Gbit/s and supports up to 30,000 MAC address entries. The unit includes RJ-45 console access and both AC and DC power connectors, and its compact 1U chassis and black finish suit high-density rack deployments.

Advantages

The CX4800-56F provides full Layer 2 feature support including VLAN, ACL, port aggregation and 802.1X to enhance network security and traffic segmentation. Its high switching capacity and 10G support optimize bandwidth for large GPU data transfers and other high-throughput workloads. Integrated Nebula cloud management delivers centralized monitoring, real-time alerts and simplified installation without additional controller hardware or software costs. A dedicated Networked AV mode enables pixel-perfect 4K60 streaming over 10G for live events, XR and medical imaging with automatic configuration for fast AVoIP deployments.

Suitable for

• Data center aggregation and core switching
• Enterprise campus and branch core networks

How to use

Install the Zyxel CX4800-56F into a standard 19-inch rack using the included mounting brackets and connect AC or DC power according to your rack power design. Access the console via the RJ-45 port for initial configuration or use Nebula cloud management to perform zero-touch provisioning, firmware updates and policy deployment. Configure VLANs, ACLs, port aggregation and 802.1X through the management interface to segment traffic, secure access and optimize throughput for GPU or storage traffic. For Networked AV use, enable the dedicated AV mode to allow automatic setup of relevant parameters for 10G pixel-perfect 4K60 streaming.

Recommendations

Deploy the CX4800-56F at aggregation or core layers where high throughput and advanced Layer 2/3 features are required. Use Nebula for centralized monitoring and to receive real-time alerts. For AVoIP applications, connect end devices and enable Networked AV mode to accelerate a reliable 4K60 deployment; ensure adequate 10G uplinks and proper VLAN/ACL segmentation for predictable performance.
