Questions about this item

Does the 48-port ICX 6450 support 10 GbE on its SFP+ uplink and stacking ports?

The two SFP+ uplink/stacking ports operate at 1 GbE by default and can be upgraded to 10 GbE with the appropriate licence.

What physical space and weight should I plan for when placing this desktop-format switch?

The unit weighs 11.07 lb and uses a desktop format, so allow enough flat surface area for a 48-port chassis.

What is the correct order for stacking multiple ICX 6450 units?

Connect the SFP+ stacking cables first, power on all units, then run the stack secure-setup command to form the stack; skipping the command leaves the ports in standalone mode.
