ECS-Core - Ubiquiti Enterprise Campus Switch Core

The Ubiquiti Enterprise Campus Switch Core (SKU: ECS-Core) is a high-density 100G Layer 3 network switch designed for demanding enterprise and campus environments. With an impressive 3.2 Tbps total non-blocking throughput and 32 x 100G QSFP28 ports, the ECS-Core-EU delivers unparalleled performance for core switching applications, making it the ideal backbone for large-scale, high-availability network infrastructures.

Engineered for resilience and scalability, this 1U rack-mountable switch features Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MC-LAG) support, enabling redundant, fault-tolerant network designs. Combined with hot-swappable dual power supplies and five hot-swappable fan modules, the ECS-Core-EU ensures maximum uptime even in mission-critical deployments.

Etherlighting™ technology provides intuitive visual port identification directly on the QSFP28 ports, streamlining installation, troubleshooting, and ongoing management. The built-in 1.3-inch touchscreen LCM display offers convenient local status monitoring and configuration.
