RUCKUS ICX 7550-48 48-Port Gigabit Stackable Switch with 2 x 40G QSFP+
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
RUCKUS ICX 7550-48 48-Port Gigabit Stackable Switch with 2 x 40G QSFP+ (ICX7550-48) - Limited Lifetime Local Warranty
48-Port Gigabit Stackable Access Switch
The RUCKUS ICX 7550-48 is a 1U stackable campus switch with 48 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports (no PoE), 2 fixed 40 GbE QSFP+ uplink/stacking ports and a modular uplink slot — a dense Gigabit access switch for wired desks, printers and IoT.
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).
416 Gbps Switching and Stacking up to 12 Units
RUCKUS rates the ICX 7550-48 at 416 Gbps switching capacity and 309 Mpps forwarding. Up to 12 switches can be stacked over the fixed QSFP ports, at distances of up to 10 km between stacked switches, with 960 Gbps 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.
