The CX102S-8MT-M-S is a compact 1U access switch
that delivers 8× 2.5GbE RJ45 ports plus 2× 10G SFP+ uplinks (downgradable to 1GbE) for 70 Gbps of switching capacity, with 3MB of packet buffer. Built on the Marvell® Prestera® 98DX25xx (98DX2556 and family) ASIC and running Enterprise SONiC (AsterNOS), it is purpose-built as a compact access switch for WiFi 6/6E access points, HD/4K surveillance cameras, digital signage, IoT devices, and small-business networks that have outgrown gigabit access ports.
With 13K IPv4 routes, 6.5K IPv6 routes, and 32K MAC entries, the CX102S-8MT-M-S matches the routing and endpoint scale of a small-to-mid-size access deployment. Its dual 10G uplinks connect directly into a distribution or aggregation switch, giving each access-layer device more than double the bandwidth of a standard gigabit port without oversubscribing the uplink.
Enterprise SONiC, full L2/L3 and open management
The switch ships preloaded with AsterNOS, Enterprise SONiC distribution, on the same single software image used across the CX-M family. On top of it sits a complete Layer 2/Layer 3 feature set — VLANs, static routing, OSPF, BGP, MLAG, and IPv6 — for access-layer segmentation and routing. Industry-standard CLI and SNMP v1/v2/v3 keep the switch consistent with existing operations workflows, without a separate management path for a small-port-count device.
PoE++ power delivery
All 8 ports support PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) at up to 60W per port, backward compatible with PoE+ (802.3at) and PoE (802.3af) devices, with automatic power-class detection. The switch is available in a 150W total PoE power budget or non-PoE configuration, sized for a full rack of WiFi 6/6E access points or PoE-powered cameras on a single 8-port switch.
Optional precision timing
An optional PTP extension card adds Class A hardware timing to the CX102S-8MT-M-S, giving downstream devices a synchronized time reference without a separate timing appliance — useful where access-layer devices, such as IP cameras or industrial controllers, depend on accurate timestamps.
Compact footprint for dense deployments
The CX102S-8MT-M-S fits access closets and wall-mount enclosures where a full-depth switch does not. A single built-in power supply and two built-in fans keep the design simple, with a 100–240V AC input and 0–45°C operating range for standard entry access locations.
Optimized Software for Advanced Workloads-AsterNOS
AsterNOS is the pre-installed network operating system on Asteraix’s CX-M Series campus switches. Built on SONiC and enhanced beyond the open-source version, AsterNOS offers advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, as well as sophisticated routing capabilities. Support VXLAN EVPN virtualization, it supports scalable campus networks. AsterNOS is smart, secure, and easy to manage, providing a reliable operating platform for always-on enterprise networks.
