Ruckus ICX 7850-48F-E 48-Port SFP28 Switch | 25GbE, 100GbE, Enterprise

Sustain demanding network tiers with a switch built for dense 25 GbE access and high-speed uplink aggregation. The ICX 7850-48F-E pairs 48 SFP28 ports with 8 QSFP28 ports, giving infrastructure teams the port mix needed to connect servers, storage, and upstream fabric links in one chassis. This configuration is well suited to environments where 1/10/25 GbE access must feed 40/100 GbE aggregation without bottlenecks. The SFP28 access layer supports modern server connectivity, while the QSFP28 uplinks provide the bandwidth headroom required for spine, core, or data center edge deployments. For teams standardizing on fewer, faster switches, this model reduces oversubscription pressure and simplifies port planning. It is a strong fit when you need to preserve performance for virtualization clusters, high-throughput application tiers, or campus aggregation points that cannot afford a lower-capacity design. As a premium access and aggregation platform, it is aimed at buyers who value port density, uplink flexibility, and room to grow into higher-speed traffic patterns. The result is a switch that supports current workloads while leaving clear headroom for expansion.
