What is the difference between Ruckus ICX and Brocade ICX switches?

They are the same product line under two badges. Brocade built the ICX family, Ruckus took it on, and CommScope now owns Ruckus. A Brocade-badged ICX 7450-48P and a Ruckus-badged ICX 7450-48P are the same switch. IO South stocks both badges in the same categories, so search by part number rather than by brand name.

Which Ruckus ICX switch supports multigigabit PoE for Wi-Fi 6 access points?

The ICX 7150-48ZP Z-Series carries 16 multigigabit PoH ports at 100/1000 Mbps and 2.5 Gbps alongside 32 PoE+ ports and 8 x 10 GbE SFP+ uplinks. The ICX 7550 and ICX 7650 ZP models are the midrange and higher-end options built for the multigigabit wireless era. Send us the access point model and count and we will match the switch.

Does the ICX 7150 have 10 GbE uplinks?

Yes, on the right variant. The ICX 7150 24 and 48 port models come with 2 x 1 GbE RJ45 uplinks plus either 2 x 10 GbE SFP+ stacking and uplink ports (the 2X10G suffix) or 4 x 10 GbE SFP+ (the 4X10GR suffix). The 4X1G models ship with 1 GbE SFP uplinks that upgrade to 10 GbE with a license.

Can I upgrade an ICX 7250 to 10 GbE uplinks?

Yes. The ICX 7250 ships with 8 x 1 GbE SFP uplink and stacking ports, or 6 x 1 GbE SFP plus 2 x 10 GbE SFP+ on the 2X10G models, and upgrades to 8 x 10 GbE SFP+ with the ICX7250-8X10G-LIC-POD license, which IO South stocks. The one exception is the ICX7250-24G, which the license does not cover.

What do the -E, -E2 and RMT3 suffixes on ICX part numbers mean?

They describe the bundle. -E and -E2 bundles include the power supply and fan units, for example the ICX 7450 48-port PoE+ bundle with 4 x 10 GbE SFP+ uplinks, 2 x 40 GbE QSFP+ uplinks and a 1,000 W AC power supply. RMT3 denotes a rack-mount bundle. A bare part number such as ICX7750-48C ships with no power supplies or fan units, which are ordered separately. Each product page in this category states exactly what its bundle includes.

Which ICX switch is right for aggregation or core?

The ICX 7750 delivers chassis performance in a fixed form factor for aggregation and core switching, with 48 x 1/10 GbE 10GBASE-T on the 48C, 48 x 10 GbE SFP+ on the 48F, 6 x 40 GbE QSFP+ ports and a modular interface slot. The ICX 7850 delivers nonblocking line-rate performance on all ports concurrently on its 48F and 48FS 1/10 GbE SFP+ models.

Does IO South sell refurbished Ruckus ICX switches?

Yes. IO South stocks Ruckus and Brocade ICX switches new and refurbished, from our own inventory rather than drop-shipped. Refurbished units are the usual route to a switch that matches an existing stack after a model has gone end-of-sale. Ask for both numbers on the same part number.

Does IO South buy used Ruckus ICX switches?

Yes. IO South buys used and surplus networking equipment, including Ruckus and Brocade ICX switches, handles the freight, and pays in cash or in credit toward replacement units. Send the part numbers and quantities you are retiring and we come back with an evaluation.
