Product overview
CE5855-48T4XS is a CloudEngine fixed 1U GE faceplate with 48 × 1G RJ-45 downlinks, 4 × 10G SFP+, and 2 × 40G QSFP+ uplinks. Authorized data for the 48T4XS family lists 336 Gbps / 252 Mpps, stacking up to nine members, and TRILL/M-LAG style fabric features on VRP8.
Use it for GE ToR or campus/data-hall aggregation where copper GE density matters and uplinks are 10G/40G. Quote the exact hardware suffix (-B PSU/airflow kits, -EI, -F) — do not treat -B and bare chassis as interchangeable on the PO.

Deployment scenarios
GE server or closet aggregation with 10G/40G northbound links.
CloudEngine GE ToR where QSFP+ uplinks are planned.
Designs comparing intake vs exhaust airflow kits on the same 48T4XS faceplate.
Suitable for campus aggregation deployments where this platform class is required. Confirm faceplate, modules, and software options against the project design.
Technical selection notes
Write the exact suffix (-B/-EI/-F) on the RFQ. Confirm optics for SFP+ and QSFP+. Do not invent VXLAN claims beyond what the product record supports.
Not recommended for
Not a 25G/100G leaf — use CE6863E-48S6CQ when southbound ports are 25G.
Not a campus PoE access switch.
Not a 100G-only spine — use CE8850-64CQ-EI for native 100G faceplates.
