Ruckus ICX 8100-48P 48-Port PoE Switch, 4x 1G SFP | Layer 2, Enterprise

Sustain high-density access switching with the Ruckus ICX 8100-48P. Built around 48 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports and 4 x 1G SFP uplink ports, it gives campus closets and branch edge racks the port mix they need for wired endpoints, voice, and wireless access points. The 370 W PoE budget supports powered devices across the access layer, reducing the need for separate injectors and simplifying deployment. Advanced Layer 2 capabilities make this model a strong fit for organizations that want dependable switching behavior without moving into more complex core-class platforms. It is designed for environments where port density, PoE availability, and straightforward uplink connectivity matter more than excess feature overhead. That balance makes it a practical choice for procurement teams standardizing on a proven access switch with enough headroom for mixed endpoint loads. For IT teams, the value is in predictable operation and clean expansion. The 1G SFP uplinks provide flexible aggregation paths, while the 48-port copper layout supports broad endpoint coverage in a single chassis. This is the kind of switch that earns its place in production by doing the access-layer fundamentals well, day after day.
