RUCKUS ICX 8200-48P: High-Density PoE+ Stackable Access Switch
The RUCKUS ICX 8200-48P is an enterprise-class stackable access switch designed to support next-generation Wi-Fi 6/6E/7, IoT deployments, and high-density PoE environments. It offers 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports, four 25GbE uplink/stacking ports, and advanced Layer 3 features—all backed by a limited lifetime warranty and three years of TAC support.
Key Features
- 48 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 PoE+ ports with 802.3at support (30W per port)
- 4 x 1/10/25 GbE SFP28 ports for high-speed uplinks or stacking
- 370W PoE budget for powering APs, cameras, and IoT devices
- Advanced Layer 3 routing (static, RIP, OSPF, VRRP, VRF, PIM)
- Stackable with up to 12 units per stack and 10km stacking distance
- VXLAN support for secure network segmentation
Technology & Standards
The ICX 8200-48P supports a wide range of industry standards including IEEE 802.3at (PoE+), 802.1X, OSPF, VRRP, VXLAN, and Energy Efficient Ethernet (802.3az). It also features sFlow, SNMPv3, and OpenFlow for enhanced monitoring and software-defined networking (SDN) capabilities.
How It Works
The switch operates as a high-performance access layer device, providing Power over Ethernet to connected devices while supporting advanced traffic management via ACLs, QoS, and multicast routing. Its stacking capability allows multiple physical switches to 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
