RUCKUS ICX8200-48PF2-E Stackable Access Switch
1. Product Overview
The RUCKUS ICX8200-48PF2-E is an enterprise-class, stackable access
switch designed to meet the demands of modern, high-density
networks. It supports 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports and 4x 25GbE
SFP28 uplink/stacking ports, delivering robust performance,
advanced Layer 3 features, and high-power PoE capabilities in a
scalable form factor. Ideal for wireless-first and IoT deployments,
this switch offers future-proof expandability and reliability.
2. Key Characteristics
- 48x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 PoE+ ports
