Ruckus Networks Ruckus 16-Port PoE Switch 124W | 10G SFP Enterprise

Support more endpoints from a single access switch without sacrificing uplink capacity. The Ruckus ICX8100-C16P-X brings 16 PoE ports and a 124 W PoE budget together with 2 x 10G SFP uplinks, making it a strong fit for environments that need to power phones, cameras, wireless access points, and other network devices while keeping upstream bandwidth available. The 10G SFP uplinks matter when access traffic grows beyond basic gigabit aggregation. They give you a cleaner path to distribution or core layers, helping reduce bottlenecks in busy closets and edge deployments. With 16 powered ports, this model supports compact builds where port density and uplink speed both influence the final design. For teams comparing access switches, this configuration stands out because it balances PoE capacity with faster uplinks in a single chassis. That combination can reduce the need for additional hardware, simplify rack planning, and better align the switch with modern enterprise edge requirements.
