Key Features

  • Stacking: Yes
  • Connect dense access layers using 48 RJ45 ports with 1/10/25 GbE support
  • Aggregate high-speed traffic via 8 QSFP28 uplinks for 40/100 GbE
  • Preserve management access using out-of-band Ethernet connectivity
  • Support mixed-speed campus designs with copper-based multigigabit ports
  • Reduce uplink contention with 100 GbE-capable backbone interfaces
  • Fit enterprise aggregation roles with a high-port-count fixed switch design
  • Maintain operational control through dedicated out-of-band administration
Keep critical traffic moving with a switch built for dense campus and aggregation layers. The ICX7850-48C combines 48 RJ45 ports supporting 1/10/25 GbE with 8 QSFP28 uplinks for 40/100 GbE, giving infrastructure teams the port mix needed to connect access layers while preserving headroom for backbone traffic. This platform is suited to environments where copper access remains important but uplink capacity cannot become the bottleneck. The 25 GbE-ready RJ45 ports help extend the life of existing cabling strategies, while the QSFP28 uplinks provide a clear path to higher-speed aggregation and core connectivity. Out-of-band Ethernet adds a separate management path, which is valuable when you need to troubleshoot or recover without depending on the production network. The ICX7850-48C is a strong fit for teams standardizing on higher-density switching without sacrificing operational control. It is the kind of switch chosen when the network must support growth, maintain predictable performance, and justify the investment with fewer refresh cycles and more usable bandwidth per rack unit.

Ideal For

  • Campus aggregation for multigigabit access switches
  • High-density server connectivity in enterprise edge racks
  • Backbone uplink consolidation in distributed network closets
  • Out-of-band management for operations and recovery access

Why This Product

  • 1More copper access density than 24-port multigigabit switches
  • 2Higher uplink headroom with 8 QSFP28 ports
  • 3Out-of-band management for safer recovery workflows
  • 4Better fit for aggregation than access-only switches
