Zyxel Networks unveils a new era of high-performance switching for growing enterprises

New CX4800-56F 25G/100G Fiber Aggregation Switch is designed to power the data-driven future

HSINCHU, Taiwan, April 2, 2025—Zyxel Networks, a leader in delivering secure and AI-powered cloud networking solutions, is launching a premium 48-port 10G/25G L3 Fiber Aggregation Switch with eight 100G uplinks, providing enterprise-grade connectivity with exceptional value. With AI, AR, and VR technologies pushing bandwidth demands to new heights, the CX4800-56F provides the scalability, resilience, and flexibility that medium-sized businesses, enterprises, and service providers need to eliminate network bottlenecks and future-proof their networks.

Unparalleled scalability

With increasing demands for high-speed data transmission, the CX4800-56F provides a significant performance boost over traditional 10G networks, thanks to its eight 100G QSFP28 uplink ports and forty-eight SFP28 access ports that can run at 10G or 25G traffic. This ultra-fast connectivity, powered by network infrastructure upgrades, offers unparalleled capacity and scalability. This allows enterprises to expand their campus network while also staying ahead in the data-driven world.

Engineered to handle the challenge, the CX4800-56F provides up to 4 Terabits (4T) of switching capacity. This immense power enables businesses to manage heavy data loads efficiently without overhauling their existing systems.

Ensuring uninterrupted service

Network downtime can lead to significant operation disruptions. The CX4800-56F addresses this concern with dual power and four fan modules, providing enhanced network redundancy and resilience against power or heat interruptions. The hot-swappable design allows for easy replacement of power and fan module maintenance without the need to shut down the system, ensuring minimal impact on network operations.

Future-proof design

The CX4800-56F is designed with future growth in mind, serving as both an aggregation and core switch with Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionality and advanced security features. The flexibility allows enterprises to run complex operations with a secured network, empowering them to scale as they grow. Furthermore, the CX4800-56F allows businesses to reap the benefits of both on-premises and Nebula cloud management. These features include connecting, protecting, and managing wireless access points, firewalls, and switches through the Nebula single pane-of-glass platform.

With the Network AV mode, the CX4800-56F provides an easy-to-deploy solution for Audio-Visual over IP (AVoIP) applications. The intuitive setup wizard and dedicated AV dashboard ensure reliable network performance, which is crucial for industries like healthcare. For example, medical clinics can now use the CX4800-56F to transfer medical imaging in 4K resolution across multiple displays, improving diagnostic accuracy and streamlining operations.

“The CX4800-56F is designed to not only meet the current demands of today’s network traffic but also offer the headroom needed for tomorrow’s technology-driven innovations. For example, data-intensive applications such as AI and AR workloads require more bandwidth and less latency,” said Kell Lin, Senior Associate Vice President of Zyxel Networking SBU. “With the right balance of performance, resilience, and scalability, businesses can continue to grow without worrying about outgrowing their network. This means cost savings through reduced downtime and increased operational efficiency.”

Zyxel Networks offers a full range of network switches, from desktop models to rackmount solutions, designed for businesses of all sizes. With on-premises and cloud management options, organizations can build robust and scalable networks that support their growth. The CX4800-56F is available now.
