Key Features

  • Stacking: Yes
  • Support dense edge connectivity with 48 multigigabit ports
  • Power demanding endpoints using 802.3bt PoE support
  • Reduce access-layer bottlenecks with 2.5 GbE port speeds
  • Uplink traffic efficiently via 12 higher-speed uplink ports
  • Accommodate modern wireless and IoT deployments with multigigabit access
  • Consolidate endpoint power and data on a single switch platform
  • Scale campus edge capacity without moving to a larger chassis
Keep high-density access and power delivery under control with the ICX 7550-48ZP. This switch combines 48 multigigabit ports with 802.3bt PoE, giving you the headroom to support Wi-Fi 6 access points, advanced cameras, and other endpoint classes that outgrow standard PoE budgets. It is designed for environments where access-layer congestion and power constraints create real operational risk. The 2.5 GbE access speed helps remove bottlenecks at the edge without forcing an immediate redesign of the network. With 12 higher-speed uplink ports, the platform is positioned to feed aggregation or core layers with less contention, which matters when you are consolidating more users, more devices, and more east-west traffic onto a single switch. For infrastructure teams, the value is in reducing the number of compromises. You get a switch class that supports modern endpoint density, delivers stronger PoE headroom, and preserves room for growth in campus and branch deployments. That makes it a better fit than entry-level gigabit switches when uptime, port density, and power delivery all matter at once.

Ideal For

  • Campus access layer for Wi-Fi 6 access points and high-density user drops
  • Branch aggregation where multigigabit endpoints and PoE loads converge
  • Smart building deployments with cameras, sensors, and powered edge devices
  • Network refresh projects replacing gigabit access switches with multigigabit capacity

Why This Product

  • 1Adds 2.5 GbE access for modern endpoint density
  • 2Supports 802.3bt PoE for higher-power devices
  • 3Includes 12 uplink ports for aggregation flexibility
  • 4Fits campus edge deployments that exceed gigabit-only switching

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the ICX 7550-48ZP different from a standard gigabit switch?▾

It adds 2.5 GbE access and 802.3bt PoE, which better suits Wi-Fi 6 access points and other power-hungry edge devices.

Is this switch suitable for campus access layers?▾

Yes. Its 48-port multigigabit design and higher-speed uplinks are aligned with dense campus edge and aggregation use cases.

Does it support Layer 3 networking?▾

Yes. The platform is specified as Layer 3, which supports routed access designs and more flexible segmentation.

Why choose this model over a lower-cost access switch?▾

It is built for environments where port density, multigigabit throughput, and higher PoE demand justify a stronger access-layer platform.
