Ruckus CommScope Switch full managed Layer3 28 poorts• 24x 2.5 GbE• PoE-budget 740 W - switch - 1 Gbps

Modern enterprise networks face a critical challenge: delivering high-speed connectivity to a growing number of PoE-powered devices—from Wi-Fi 6 access points to IP cameras and IoT sensors—without sacrificing manageability or performance. The RUCKUS ICX8200-24ZP directly addresses this by combining 24 multi-gigabit PoE+ ports with a substantial 740W power budget in a compact 1U form factor, ensuring every connected device gets both data and power over a single cable.

Who is it for

This switch is built for mid-sized to large enterprises, educational institutions, and hospitality venues that need to support high-density device deployments. IT administrators will appreciate its full Layer 3 routing capabilities, robust security, and seamless stacking, while network planners can rely on its future-proof multi-gigabit speeds and redundant power options.

Main features

Tips

To maximize the value of the ICX8200-24ZP, pair it with RUCKUS Wi-Fi 6 access points that can take advantage of the multi-gigabit ports and PoE+ power. When planning your deployment, consider the total PoE budget across all connected devices and add a redundant power supply if uptime is critical. Use stacking to manage multiple switches as a single logical unit, reducing configuration overhead and improving resiliency.
