Ruckus Switch ICX8100-24P-4X1G 24-Port PoE

Deploying IP phones, cameras, and access points across a growing network demands a switch that can deliver both data and power without compromise. The Ruckus ICX8100-24P answers that call with 24 PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet ports and four 1G SFP uplinks, all in a 1U rack-mountable chassis. It provides a robust 370W PoE budget—expandable to 740W with an optional external power supply—so you can power a full complement of edge devices from a single unit.

Tips

For maximum PoE capacity, pair this switch with the optional Ruckus external power supply to reach 740W.
