ReachNXT 100-8t extends the revolutionary 
ExtremeXOS core-class operating system from 
Extreme Networks

®

 to the network access. 

ExtremeXOS is a highly resilient, modular 
operating system that helps provide continuous 
uptime, manageability and operational efficiency. 
ReachNXT 100-8t provides users with a consis-
tent ExtremeXOS experience at an affordable 
price. It is best suited for network access 
applications where easy network deployment is 
required.

The compact and quiet ReachNXT 100-8t 
enterprise port extender provides 8 Fast 
Ethernet ports plus 1 Gigabit Ethernet combo 
copper/SFP fiber port. An optional power 
adapter provides the ReachNXT 100-8t with 
power when the SFP fiber port is used.
