Frequently Asked Questions

How many copper 10GbE ports are provided?

The switch provides 48 10GBASE-T Ethernet ports.

Which high-speed uplink interface is included?

Eight QSFP28 ports are listed.

Does it support Layer 3 networking?

Yes. It is a managed Layer 3 switch.

The Ruckus ICX 7850 is intended for networks where conventional Gigabit access no longer provides enough capacity. Its dense 10GBASE-T configuration helps consolidate copper-connected infrastructure, while eight QSFP28 interfaces and Layer 3 management create room for high-speed uplinks and carefully structured routing at the core or aggregation layer.
