RUCKUS ICX 7550-48F 48-Port 1/10G SFP/SFP+ Stackable Aggregation Switch with 2 x 40/100G QSFP28
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
RUCKUS ICX 7550-48F 48-Port 1/10G SFP/SFP+ Stackable Aggregation Switch with 2 x 40/100G QSFP28 (ICX7550-48F) - Limited Lifetime Local Warranty
48-Port SFP/SFP+ Campus Aggregation Switch
The RUCKUS ICX 7550-48F is a 1U stackable aggregation switch with 36 x 100/1000 Mbps SFP ports and 12 x 1/10 Gbps SFP/SFP+ ports, 2 fixed 40/100 GbE QSFP28 uplink/stacking ports and a modular slot. It is a fibre switch for aggregating access switches or connecting buildings, and does not provide PoE.
This part number is the switch chassis only: RUCKUS states that power supplies, fans and port modules are sold separately, so order it together with power supplies and fans, or choose the -E2 bundle (see the ordering table below).
912 Gbps Switching and Stacking up to 12 Units
RUCKUS rates the ICX 7550-48F at 912 Gbps switching capacity and 678 Mpps forwarding. Up to 12 switches can be stacked over the fixed QSFP28 ports, at distances of up to 10 km between stacked switches, with 2.4 Tbps aggregated stacking bandwidth, and the stack is managed as a single switch.
Layer 3 Routing, Upgradable by Licence
Base software includes IPv4/IPv6 static routes, RIP v1/v2, RIPng and ECMP. The ICX7550-PREM-LIC premium licence adds OSPF v2/v3, BGP4/BGP4+, PIM, PBR, VRRP v3, GRE, IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnels and VRF-lite. MACsec is available with the ICX-MACSEC-LIC licence and the MACsec-capable 4 x 10GbE module.
Cloud or On-Premises Management
The RUCKUS data sheet lists RUCKUS One (cloud) and SmartZone (on premises) management for the ICX 7550, alongside the CLI, an RJ-45 out-of-band management port and USB Type-C / RJ-45 console ports.
Supplied in Singapore with Local Warranty
RUCKUS covers this switch with the RUCKUS Assurance Limited Lifetime Warranty and 90 days of RUCKUS TAC support (a RUCKUS Technical Support contract is needed after that). SourceIT supplies it locally in Singapore with a GST invoice. Email sales@sourceit.com.sg with your port count, power and uplink plan for a quote.

Compatibility & Software Support
Management
RUCKUS One (cloud) or SmartZone (on premises), plus the CLI over console or the out-of-band management port.
Fibre Aggregation
The ICX 7550-48F has no PoE. Its 36 SFP ports take 100/1000 Mbps optics and its 12 SFP+ ports take 1 GbE or 10 GbE optics or DAC cables, so it can aggregate RUCKUS ICX access switches (for example the ICX 7550-48ZP or -24ZP) over fibre. Transceivers are sold separately.
Uplink Modules
The modular slot accepts ICX7650-1X100GQ (1 x 40/100 GbE QSFP28), ICX7650-2X40GQ (2 x 40 GbE QSFP+), ICX7650-4X10GF (4 x 1/10 GbE SFP+, MACsec capable) and ICX7550-4X25GF (4 x 1/10/25 GbE SFP28). Modules and transceivers are sold separately.
Power Supplies & Fans
RPS21-E / RPS21-I (400 W AC) or RPS21DC-E / RPS21DC-I (400 W DC) supplies and ICX-FAN12-E / ICX-FAN12-I fans; -E is front-to-back (exhaust), -I is back-to-front (intake).
