As a flexible, multi-role platform, the Ethernet
Routing Switch 5600 is suitable for Wiring
Closet, Data Center aggregation and network
Core applications.
The Ethernet Routing Switch 5600 Series (ERS
5600) currently includes five different models.
Two high-performance, ultra-density 96-port
10/100/1000 models — one with Power-over-
Ethernet (PoE) support on all ports — dual 10
Gigabit Ethernet XFP Uplinks, and deployable
with up to three modular, field-replaceable
Power Supplies for N+1 redundancy and/or
full Class 3 PoE power. Two 48-port models
providing fully non-blocking performance with
dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet Uplinks, and are avail-
able as PoE and non-PoE versions. An all-Plug-
gable model rounds out the portfolio, delivering
24 slots for 100/1000BASE-SFP Transceivers
and eight 10GBASE-XFP slots (see to Table 1
for more information).

The Ethernet Routing Switch 5600 Series
features the latest and most advanced implemen-

Stackable product lines in Nortel’s Ethernet
Routing Switch portfolio. A key aspect for the
features the latest and most advanced implemen-
tation of Nortel’s Flexible Advanced Stacking
Technology (FAST), also seen on the other
Stackable product lines in Nortel’s Ethernet
Routing Switch portfolio. A key aspect for the
ERS 5600 is that these models are 100%
Stack-compatible with the original ERS 5500
Series products. Any combination of ERS
5000 Series units — 5500 or 5600 models —
can be Stacked up to eight units high, or to
a maximum of 400 ports. When ERS 5600s
are Stacking directly together, the Stacking
bandwidth is 144Gbps per unit, and when
5600 models are adjacent to 5500 models, the
Stacking bandwidth is the standard 80Gbps.
In a full, pure Stack of ERS 5600 models (a
Stack of eight Switches), the Stacking band-
width is an Industry-leading 1.152Tbps.

This unique ‘Hybrid Stacking’ capability
ensures that the Ethernet Routing Switch
5000 Series provides incredible versatility and
investment protection; something which is
distinctly lacking in many competitive offer-
ings. Being able to mix-and-match models
in a Hybrid Stack from the full ERS 5000
Series range enables Operators to easily and
cost-effectively add to existing ERS 5500
deployments; the requirement could be to
scale capacity or to add 10G Ethernet Uplinks
for the high-performance Wiring Closet and
other deployment scenarios.
