RUCKUS ICX 8200-48ZP2-E Stackable Access Switch
The RUCKUS ICX 8200-48ZP2-E is an enterprise-class, stackable access switch engineered for next-generation wireless, IoT-intensive campus networks. It combines high-density Multigigabit and Gigabit PoE++ connectivity with advanced L3 features, robust security, and resilient hardware design. This switch is ideal for powering high-demand environments such as modern offices, educational institutions, and healthcare facilities, offering future-proof scalability and reliability.
Key Features
- 48 Ports: 32x Gigabit PoE+ and 16x Multigigabit PoE++ (2.5G) RJ45 ports
- High PoE Budget: 740W with one PSU, expandable to 1480W with dual hot-swap power supplies
- Flexible Uplinks: 4x 1/10/25 GbE SFP28 ports for stacking or uplink
- Advanced Stacking: Supports up to 12 units per stack with 10km distance
- Enhanced Security: VXLAN, ACLs, 802.1X, and Secure Management Options
Core Technologies
The ICX 8200 series supports a wide range of industry standards including IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++), 802.1X, VXLAN, OSPF, VRRP, and OpenFlow. It also features Energy Efficient Ethernet (802.3az) and advanced QoS mechanisms for traffic prioritization.
How It Works
The switch operates as a fully managed L2/L3 device, providing PoE power to connected devices such as Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 access points, IP cameras, and IoT sensors. It uses stacking technology to combine multiple physical switches into a single logical unit, simplifying management and increasing redundancy. Advanced routing protocols and VXLAN support enable secure segmentation and scalable network design.
Typical Applications
- Enterprise and campus access layer deployments
- High-density Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 environments
- IoT and smart building infrastructure
- Education and healthcare networks
- Converged data and voice networks
