Key Features

  • Stacking: No
  • Support dense wired access with 48 10/100/1000 Mbps ports
  • Reduce uplink congestion using 4 x 10 GbE SFP+ uplink ports
  • Preserve rack space with a compact 1RU chassis
  • Aggregate endpoint traffic efficiently for access-layer deployments
  • Connect downstream devices at Gigabit speeds for stable user access
  • Scale closet switching capacity without moving to a larger footprint
  • Simplify enterprise edge design with a managed switch platform
Consolidate access switching without sacrificing uplink capacity. The Ruckus ICX 8100-48-X delivers 48 10/100/1000 Mbps ports for high-density edge connectivity, plus 4 x 10 GbE SFP+ uplinks to move traffic cleanly into distribution or core layers. Its 1RU footprint helps preserve rack space in wiring closets, branch sites, and campus access rooms where every unit matters. This switch is a strong fit for teams that need predictable wired performance for users, phones, printers, cameras, and other endpoint-heavy deployments. The Gigabit access layer keeps client connections stable, while the 10 GbE uplinks reduce bottlenecks when multiple closets or floors converge on a shared aggregation point. For organizations standardizing on managed switching, the ICX 8100 family offers the port mix and physical efficiency that justify choosing it over lower-capacity alternatives. Use it where density, simplicity, and uplink speed all matter. The result is a cleaner access layer that can grow with endpoint counts while maintaining room for future traffic demands.

Ideal For

  • Wiring closet access switching for office floors
  • Branch office endpoint aggregation with 10 GbE uplinks
  • Campus edge connectivity for phones, printers, and workstations
  • Rack-dense network refreshes where 1RU space is limited

Why This Product

  • 1More access ports than compact 24-port alternatives
  • 210 GbE uplinks reduce aggregation bottlenecks
  • 31RU footprint preserves rack space
  • 4Better fit for dense wired closets than entry-level switches

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of deployment is the ICX 8100-48-X best suited for?▾

It is best suited for access-layer deployments in wiring closets, branch offices, and campus edge environments that need 48 Gigabit ports and 10 GbE uplinks.

Does this switch support high-speed uplinks?▾

Yes. It includes 4 x 10 GbE SFP+ uplink ports for higher-capacity aggregation to distribution or core switches.

Is the ICX 8100-48-X rack-mountable?▾

Yes. It is designed as a 1RU switch for standard rack installation.

Why choose this model over a smaller access switch?▾

Choose it when you need more endpoint ports and faster uplinks in a single chassis, reducing the need for additional switches or uplink workarounds.
