Ruckus ICX 7250
Enterprise-Class Stackable Access Switch
Enterprise-Class Switch with FutureProof Expandability
The Ruckus® ICX® 7250 switch combines enterprise-class
features, manageability and the flexibility and “pay as you
grow” scalability of a stackable solution. The switch delivers
the performance required for enterprise Gigabit Ethernet (GbE)
access deployment. It raises the bar with up to 8×10 GbE ports
for uplinks or stacking and market-leading stacking density with
up to 12 switches (576×1 GbE) per stack.

Figure 1: Up to 12 Ruckus ICX 7250 Switches can be stacked together using up
to four full-duplex SFP+ h10 Gbps ports for a fully redundant backplane with
480 Gbps of aggregated stacking bandwidth.
Ruckus ICX 7250 switches also offer an external power supply for
failover resiliency, as well as increased PoE/PoE+ port availability.
The Ruckus ICX 7250 is easy to deploy, manage, and integrate
into both new and existing networks. Organizations can buy only
what they need today, and easily scale out as demand grows and
new technologies emerge. Optimizing performance based on
specific requirements is easy with flexible licensing upgrade which
allows users to upgrade from 1 GbE to 10 GbE ports for uplink
and stacking.
Deployed as a standalone switch, a stack, or a network fabric,
organizations reap the benefits of a flexible platform and the
assurance that their investments
are protected.
Premium Performance
Designed for small to medium-size enterprises, branch offices,
and distributed campuses, these scalable edge switches deliver
enterprise-class functionality at an affordable price—without
compromising performance and reliability. The Ruckus ICX 7250
delivers wire-speed, non-blocking performance across all ports to
support latency-sensitive applications, such as real-time voice/video
streaming and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). The switch is
available in 24- and 48-port 10/100/1000 Mbps models with 1
GbE uplink or 10 GbE dual-purpose uplink/ stacking ports (see
Figure 1)—with or without PoE and PoE+—to support wireless
mobility, and IP communications without the need for additional
power outlets or power injectors.
Ruckus ICX 7250
Except as noted, all Ruckus ICX 7250 models offer eight uplink/stacking ports, a single integrated power supply and fan, one RJ-45 network management port, one mini USB
serial management port, and one USB storage port on the front panel.

Full Power Support for Connected Edge Devices
Energy Ecient Design
The Ruckus ICX 7250 can deliver both power and data across
network connections, supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+)
standards and providing a single-cable solution for edge devices,
such as wireless access points, VoIP phones, video surveillance
equipment, and VDI thin terminals. Carrying data and power
through a single Ethernet wire reduces the number of power
receptacles and power adapters while increasing reliability and
wiring flexibility. The Ruckus ICX 7250-24P provides 370 watts and
can deliver PoE power to all 24 ports, while the Ruckus ICX 7250-
48P provides 740 watts and can deliver PoE+ power for up to 24
ports. Both switches can provide PoE and PoE+ (30 watts) power
to all ports when an external power supply is used.
The optional Ruckus ICX-EPS 4000 is an external power supply
source that delivers additional power for up to 16 Ruckus ICX
7250 switches (see Figures 2 and 3). It can be used for system
power redundancy and an increased PoE/PoE+ power budget to
enable additional ports.
The Ruckus ICX 7250 Switch supports the IEEE 802.3az standard
for Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), reducing power consumption
during periods of low utilization. Ports are placed into a low
power mode when no data is being transmitted.
Data Center Top-of-Rack Server Connectivity
The Ruckus ICX 7250 is designed to fit in server racks by
consuming only one rack unit. In data center environments
where most servers are 1 GbE-capable, the Ruckus ICX 7250
provides a cost-effective 1 GbE Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch by simply
connecting 1 GbE Network Interface Cards (NICs) in the servers
to switch’s 1 GbE ports. This configuration uses 10 GbE links to
connect to data center aggregation switches.

AC power supplies.
