Support more powered endpoints without giving up rack space or uplink performance. The RUCKUS ICX 8100-24P-X combines 24 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE+ ports with a 30 W Class 4 design, giving infrastructure teams the flexibility to connect phones, cameras, and wireless access points from a single access switch. Four 10G SFP uplinks provide the bandwidth needed to move traffic upstream without forcing the access layer to become the bottleneck. That matters in dense closets where endpoint counts rise faster than available rack units. The 1RU chassis keeps the deployment compact, while the managed platform supports the control expected in enterprise networks. This model is a strong fit when you need more than a small edge switch but do not want to overbuy on chassis size or port count. It delivers the practical balance procurement teams look for: enough PoE capacity for real deployments, enough uplink speed for growth, and enough density to reduce switch sprawl across the site.
