The Ruckus ICX 7550-24P is a next-generation, enterprise-class, stackable access switch that offers powerful performance, extensive PoE capabilities, and high-speed uplinks — all in a compact and modular design. It is specifically built to meet the increasing demands of modern high-density networks, such as those supporting Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, IoT infrastructure, IP surveillance systems, and other PoE-powered devices that require more power and bandwidth than previous generations.
With 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports, the ICX 7550-24P can deliver up to 30 watts per port, allowing it to support a wide variety of connected devices without the need for separate power supplies. It features advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities, including support for dynamic routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, VRRP, etc.), static routing, VLANs, and advanced traffic control. These features make it a suitable choice not only for enterprise access-layer deployments but also for distribution and aggregation roles in more complex network topologies.
The switch includes two modular 40GbE uplink/stacking ports, which can also support 100GbE speeds via optional QSFP28 modules — future-proofing your network by enabling seamless integration with high-performance core switches or data center fabrics. The ICX 7550-24P supports high-capacity stacking of up to 12 switches in a single logical unit, with up to 960 Gbps of stacking bandwidth, ensuring scalability and high availability for growing networks.
From a hardware perspective, the switch offers redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans, front-to-back airflow, and enterprise-class reliability. When paired with Ruckus management platforms such as SmartZone, Ruckus Cloud, or Unleashed, the ICX 7550-24P becomes part of a unified wired and wireless network solution, allowing for centralized visibility, control, and policy enforcement across the entire infrastructure.
Security is another area where the ICX 7550-24P excels. It includes MACsec (Layer 2 encryption) for secure link-layer traffic, along with advanced access control features such as 802.1X, DHCP snooping, dynamic ARP inspection, and port-based ACLs. These enterprise-grade features ensure that sensitive traffic is protected from eavesdropping and network-based threats.
In summary, the Ruckus ICX 7550-24P delivers a powerful combination of performance, scalability, PoE flexibility, security, and ease of management, making it ideal for demanding enterprise environments, smart building infrastructure, or any network where high power and bandwidth are essential.
