Brocade Communications Systems ICX6430-C12 Gigabit Ethernet Switch

The Brocade ICX6430-C12 is a compact, fanless 12-port Gigabit Ethernet switch with four PoE+ ports, designed for small offices, branch sites, and edge deployments. It provides 12 RJ-45 10/100/1000BASE-T ports for device connections and offers flexible uplink options: two 100 Mbps/1 GbE SFP ports and two copper uplink ports, enabling mixed fiber and copper topologies. The switch is powered from a standard 100–240 V AC supply and draws up to 100 W, allowing quiet operation in tight racks or closet spaces. Stacking is not supported on the ICX6430-C12, so it is typically deployed as a standalone device or in simple edge configurations within Brocade's ICX 6430/6450 family. Four PoE+ ports support powering IP phones, wireless access points, and other low-voltage devices directly from the switch while delivering reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
