PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
RUCKUS ICX 8100-48-X 48-Port Gigabit Switch with 4 x 10G SFP+ (ICX8100-48-X) - Limited Lifetime Local Warranty
Entry-Level Enterprise-Class Layer 2 Access Switch
The RUCKUS ICX 8100-48-X is a 1U access switch from the RUCKUS ICX 8100 family, which RUCKUS positions as an entry-level enterprise-class L2 access switch. It has 48 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports and 4 x 1/10 GbE SFP+ uplink ports.
10 GbE SFP+ Uplinks
The -X model has 4 x 1/10 GbE SFP+ uplink ports for 10 GbE connections to the distribution or core layer. If 1 GbE uplinks are enough, the ICX8100-48 is the same switch with 4 x 1 GbE SFP uplinks.
Silent, Fanless Design
RUCKUS lists the ICX 8100-48 models as fanless, with a maximum switch power of 35 W — suitable for wiring closets, classrooms and offices where noise matters. This model has no PoE; for powered ports, see the ICX 8100-48P or -48PF.
Cloud, On-Premises or Controller-Less Management
RUCKUS lists RUCKUS One (cloud, AI-driven management and assurance), SmartZone (on premises) and RUCKUS Unleashed (controller-less), plus the CLI and a web-based standalone interface.
Supplied in Singapore with Local Warranty
RUCKUS covers the ICX 8100 with a limited lifetime warranty and 90 days of free RUCKUS TAC support; continued TAC access needs a RUCKUS support contract. SourceIT supplies it locally in Singapore with a GST invoice. The power cord and transceivers are not included. Email sales@sourceit.com.sg for a quote.
