Ruckus ICX6450 Switches - Refurbished, Used, New

Best Selling

Ruckus ICX 6450 switches, sold under the Brocade name before the ICX line moved to Ruckus, are stackable Gigabit access switches for campus wiring closets and branch offices. Each has 24 or 48 RJ45 ports, with or without PoE+, and four SFP+ uplink ports that run at 1G or 10G depending on the unit, and a group of up to eight switches stacks into one managed unit over the 10G ports. The ICX 6430 on this page is the Layer 2 member of the same generation with 1G SFP uplinks. NetworkTigers sells ICX 6450 and ICX 6430 switches refurbished, used and new. Every unit is tested before it ships so it works when it arrives.

Which ICX 6450 do I need?

Pick the port count first, 24 or 48, then PoE+ if you will power phones, cameras or access points from the switch; the P models carry a larger internal power supply and run warmer, so the non-PoE models are the quieter choice for data-only closets. The four SFP+ uplink ports are the main difference between individual units: on some, two ports run at 10G and two at 1G, on others all four run at 10G, and each listing states which. Count what you need before you order, because stacking uses the 10G ports, so a two-switch stack with redundant stack links leaves no 10G ports free on a unit that has only two. If you need all four ports at 10G for uplinks and stacking, say so and we will quote units that match. The ICX 6430 is for Layer 2 access only and does not stack with the ICX 6450.

Frequently asked questions

Will an ICX 6450 stack with an ICX 7150 or ICX 7250?
No. Stacking works only between ICX 6450 units. To grow a 7150 or 7250 stack, add switches from the same line, which you will find in the related collections above.

Can I use third-party SFP+ optics and DAC cables in the uplink ports?
Compatible optics generally work in the ICX 6450. For stack links, a 10G SFP+ direct attach cable is the usual choice over short distances, and we can supply either Brocade-coded or compatible cables.

Does the ICX 6450 do Layer 3 routing?
Yes, the ICX 6450 supports static and dynamic routing for an access or small aggregation layer, which is the main reason to choose it over the Layer 2 ICX 6430. The specific routing protocols available depend on the FastIron version installed.
