48-port PoE Layer 3 switch

The Brocade ICX6610-48P-E is a managed, stackable network switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports that deliver Power over Ethernet. It includes eight 1G SFP+ uplink ports that can be upgraded to 10G and four 40G stacking ports for high-density campus deployments.

Upgradable uplinks and stacking

The eight SFP+ uplink ports ship at 1G but support a licence upgrade to 10G, letting the switch grow with bandwidth demand without a hardware swap. Four dedicated 40G stacking ports allow multiple units to operate as a single logical chassis, simplifying management and resiliency.

PoE power budget and exhaust airflow

Total PoE power available across the 48 ports is constrained by the internal supply, so devices drawing maximum Class 4 power may exceed the budget if every port is fully loaded. The exhaust airflow design directs heat out the rear, requiring front-to-rear rack cooling and preventing use in sealed or reverse-flow cabinets.

Questions about this item

Will the 48 PoE ports need any module replacement after extended deployment?

The 48 RJ-45 ports are fixed on the chassis; only the SFP+ uplink modules or the 40 GbE stacking modules can be swapped if an upgrade or failure occurs.

Which resource hits its ceiling first when the switch runs at full 48-port PoE load continuously?

The PoE power budget is the first limit reached; once the total draw across all 48 ports exceeds the supply rating, additional ports will be denied power.

How loud and hot does the exhaust airflow become during all-day operation?

The exhaust-side fans push heated air out the rear, so the front stays cooler, but sustained full-load operation raises exhaust temperature and fan speed noticeably.
