RUCKUS ICX 8200-48PF2-E2: 1440W PoE and Dual PSUs

Model position

RUCKUS ICX 8200-48PF2-E2 is the high-PoE-budget configuration in this ICX 8200 set. The retained model data identifies 48 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE+ ports, four 25G SFP28 uplink or stacking ports, a 1440W system PoE budget, two hot-swappable power supplies and two fans.

Specification summary

Suitable scenarios

• Dense wireless access where many APs require concurrent power.
• Floor networks combining video, IoT and office endpoints.
• Campus projects with explicit requirements for replaceable power components and serviceability.

Power-design boundary

A 1440W system budget does not mean every port can simultaneously deliver its maximum possible power. Build a load model from endpoint requirements, port priorities, reserve and the intended redundancy state. Confirm regional power cords, license scope and support through the complete ordering code.

Frequently asked questions

Do two power supplies guarantee full-load 1+1 PoE redundancy?

No. Compare the required endpoint load with the power available after a single-supply failure and define which ports, if any, may be shed.

What must be checked for a 25G uplink?

Confirm optics or cable type, distance, peer port, FEC, firmware support and the planned use of all four ports.

How should this model be compared with a standard 48-port switch?

Compare system PoE budget, failure-state power, replaceable components, uplink capacity, rack power and cooling, not only access-port count.

Evidence boundary: The values above reflect the existing model table. Exact bundle contents and support terms require confirmation against the project OPN.
