Ruckus ICX Switches - Refurbished, Used, New

Best Selling

Ruckus ICX switches, originally sold under the Brocade name, are stackable campus switches running FastIron, from the ICX 6430 and 6450 entry access models through the ICX 7150, 7250, 7450 and 7550 campus lines to the ICX 7650 aggregation switch with 40G and 100G uplinks. The same FastIron command set runs across the line, so a mixed ICX estate is managed one way. This page is the hub for the whole ICX family: the ICX 7650 switches and modules listed here, links to the ICX 6450, 6610, 7150 and 7250 sub-collections, and the RPS power supplies and FastIron WS units that sit alongside them. NetworkTigers sells Ruckus and Brocade ICX switches, uplink modules and power supplies refurbished, used and new. Every unit is tested before it ships so it works when it arrives.

Which Ruckus ICX do I need?

Match the switch to its place in the network. For a wiring closet that needs 1G PoE+ ports and 1G or 10G uplinks, the ICX 6450, 7150 or 7250 does the job at the lowest cost, and the 6610 adds more 10G uplinks for a larger closet. For a distribution layer, a fiber-heavy building, or Wi-Fi 6 access points that need more than 1G per port, step up to the ICX 7650: the 48P for copper PoE+, the 48F for SFP and SFP+ fiber, or the 48ZP for multigigabit PoH ports. Stacking only works within a family, so a 7650 stacks with other 7650 units and not with a 7250. Check the uplink module installed in a 7650, the power supplies fitted (the ICX 7650 takes a second RPS for redundancy or extra PoE budget), and the airflow direction, which the -E and -E2 listings call out as front-to-back.

Frequently asked questions

Is a Brocade ICX switch the same hardware as a Ruckus ICX switch?
Yes. The ICX line moved from Brocade to Ruckus, and the switch hardware and FastIron software are the same. A unit badged Brocade and a unit badged Ruckus with the same part number are interchangeable.

What does PoH mean on the ICX7650-48ZP?
Power over HDBaseT, which delivers more power per port than PoE+ for devices such as high-draw access points and pan-tilt-zoom cameras. Standard PoE and PoE+ devices also work on those ports.

Can the 7650 run a 100G uplink?
Yes, with the ICX7650-1X100GQ module in the uplink slot. The fixed QSFP+ ports stay at 40G and can be used for stacking or additional uplinks.
