Brocade Communications Systems ICX6450-24 24-Port 1G Network Switch

The Brocade ICX6450-24 is a 24-port 1 Gigabit Ethernet switch suited for SMB and campus edge deployments. It delivers 24 RJ-45 copper ports for user devices and printers, each supporting up to 1 Gbps. Four uplink/stacking ports accept fiber SFP/SFP+ modules, enabling flexible 1G and 10G uplinks and stacking with other ICX6450 units to form a single management domain. The 1U, rack‑mountable form factor fits standard data‑cabinet installations, making it easy to deploy in a closet or equipment rack. This model is commonly used as an access or aggregation point in networks where centralized management and scalable stacking are desired, providing straightforward expansion by adding additional ICX6450 devices to the same stack. Its fixed 24-port footprint pairs with the four uplink ports to balance high port density at the access layer with versatile backbone connectivity to core or distribution switches. The ICX6450 family carries Brocade’s enterprise capabilities and is positioned for environments such as small to mid‑size campuses, branch offices, retail networks, and edge deployments that require reliable 1G access with flexible fiber uplinks.
