OcNOS support on Edgecore AS5912-54X now includes compatibility with 2.5G speed, expanding its capabilities beyond the originally supported speeds.on 48 ports. The ports designed for 10G speed can now be configured for 2.5G.

This improvement provides users to use the 800 Gbps switching capacity and 2.5G speed on ports within Edgecore AS5912-54X switch, delivering adaptability in network configurations and meeting the growing demand for diverse speed options.

Here is an example of a use case where the AS5912-54X required support for 2.5G speed:

In the context of providing fiber optics broadband service to residents in multiple dwelling units (MDUs), such as an apartment building, the AS5912-54X operates as an aggregation switch/router. It establishes connections via optical fiber at 2.5Gbps through SFP+ ports to the customer premise equipment (CPE) of MDU residents. The role of the AS5912-54X is to aggregate and distribute the traffic of residents to and from a core network, facilitating a symmetric broadband service over fiber.
