Ruckus Icx 8200-48PF Managed Switch for Reliable Data Transmission

RUCKUS ICX 8200-48PF: High-Density PoE+ Stackable Access Switch

Designed for modern enterprise networks, the RUCKUS ICX 8200-48PF is a high-performance, stackable access switch that delivers robust Power over Ethernet (PoE+) support, advanced Layer 3 features, and future-ready scalability. Ideal for high-density wireless and IoT deployments, this Ruckus switch offers 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ support, four 25GbE uplink/stacking ports, and a 740W PoE budget. With support for advanced routing, cloud management, and high availability features, the ICX 8200 series is built to handle today’s most demanding network environments.

Key Features

• 48× 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 PoE+ ports with 30W per port (802.3at)
• 4× 1/10/25 GbE SFP28 uplink/stacking ports
• 740W total PoE budget
• Advanced Layer 3 routing (static, RIP, OSPF, VRRP, VRF, PIM, PBR)
• Stackable with up to 12 units per stack and 10km between switches
• Unified management via RUCKUS SmartZone, Cloud, or Unleashed
• 3-year remote TAC support and limited lifetime warranty

Core Technologies

The ICX 8200 leverages cutting-edge networking standards including VXLAN for secure segmentation, MLAG for redundancy, Energy Efficient Ethernet (802.3az), and support for IPv4/IPv6 routing. It also features PoE++ (802.3bt) readiness, sFlow for traffic monitoring, and OpenFlow support for SDN integration.

How It Works

The switch operates as a stackable access layer device, aggregating traffic from end-user devices, wireless APs, and IoT sensors. It provides power and data connectivity over Ethernet, supports VLAN segmentation, and can perform Layer 3 routing. Using stacking technology, multiple switches operate as a single logical unit, simplifying management and increasing resiliency.

Typical Applications

• Enterprise campus networks
• High-density Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 deployments
• IoT and smart building infrastructure
• Education and healthcare environments
• Retail and hospitality networks
