The Summit X650 series switch is a purpose-built top-of-rack switch designed for emerging 10 Gigabit Ethernet-enabled servers deployed in enterprise data centers. Summit X650 helps optimize new server deployments while providing a seamless migration path from existing Gigabit Ethernet-based servers to 10 Gigabit Ethernet-based high-performance servers to start the transition to the new virtualized environment.

Summit X650 provides high density for 10 Gigabit Ethernet in a small 1RU form factor for up to 32 ports in one system and 192 ports in a stacked system. Summit X650 offers two advanced 10 Gigabit Ethernet technologies: 10GBASE-T and SFP+ to accommodate the needs for both copper twisted pair cable and optical fiber-based 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
