RUCKUS ICX 8200-48 Enterprise Stackable Access Switch

1. Product Overview

The RUCKUS ICX 8200-48 is an enterprise-class stackable access switch designed to deliver high-performance connectivity for modern campus and IoT networks. It offers 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and four 25GbE SFP28 uplink/stacking ports, providing scalability, reliability, and future-proof expandability. Ideal for medium to large enterprises, this switch supports advanced Layer 3 features, PoE capabilities, and robust security protocols.

2. Key Features

• 48 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports
• 4 x 1/10/25 GbE SFP28 uplink/stacking ports
• Stackable up to 12 units with 1.2 Tbps stacking bandwidth
• Advanced Layer 3 routing (static, RIP, OSPF, VRRP)
• Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az)
• VXLAN support for network segmentation
• Limited lifetime warranty with 3-year TAC support

3. Core Technologies

The ICX 8200-48 leverages cutting-edge technologies including VXLAN for secure network segmentation, PoE++ (802.3bt) for high-power device support, and advanced Layer 3 routing protocols like OSPF and VRRP. It also supports OpenFlow for SDN integration and offers unified management via RUCKUS SmartZone, Cloud, or Unleashed platforms.

4. How It Works

The switch operates at the network edge, aggregating traffic from end devices and uplinking to core switches via high-speed 25GbE ports. It uses hardware-based forwarding to ensure low latency and high throughput. Stacking technology allows multiple units to operate as a single logical device, simplifying management and enhancing redundancy.

5. Applications

Ideal for:

• Enterprise campus networks
• IoT and smart building deployments
• Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 access point aggregation
• Education and healthcare facilities
• Medium to large business environments
