Rackmount 48-port PoE+ switch

The RUCKUS ICX8100-48PF-X is a managed Layer 3 switch built for enterprise networks that need dense copper connectivity and high-power PoE. It suits IT teams deploying access points, cameras, or phones across wiring closets where rack space is at a premium.

740 W PoE budget and fan-cooled chassis

The unit delivers up to 30 W per port across all 48 RJ-45 interfaces while staying within a 740 W total PoE budget. Internal cooling handles the thermal load of full PoE utilisation in a 1RU form factor, and the switch supports Energy Efficient Ethernet to reduce idle power draw.

Four 10GbE SFP+ uplinks and stacking support

Four SFP+ ports provide 1 or 10 GbE fibre uplinks to aggregation or core switches without consuming copper ports. Stackable architecture lets multiple units operate as a single logical device, simplifying management for growing campuses. Buyers needing higher port density or modular uplink options will need a different chassis.

Questions about this item

How do I install the ICX8100-48PF-X in a rack and what step is often missed?

Mount the 1RU chassis using the supplied brackets, connect the 48 RJ45 and four SFP+ cables, then attach a suitable power cord — the unit ships without one, so that is the step installers forget.

What maintenance or replacement will the ICX8100-48PF-X need over time?

The internal cooling fans are the only moving parts; plan to clean dust from the vents periodically and replace a fan if it becomes noisy or fails.

What limit appears first when the ICX8100-48PF-X runs under sustained PoE load?

The 740 W PoE budget is the first ceiling; with 48 PoE+ ports each capable of 30 W, the aggregate budget is reached before any per-port limit.
