Brocade FCX648-E Network Switch 48-Port 1G RJ45 SFP

The Brocade FCX648-E is a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet switch intended for edge and access deployments in small- to mid-sized networks. It combines 48 RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps ports for user devices with four 1 Gbps SFP ports that accept SFP transceivers for fiber uplinks or connections to other switches. The device is powered from an AC supply. This configuration supports desktop, IP phone, and printer connectivity on copper, while the SFP uplinks provide flexible paths to distribution or core layer devices. The FCX648-E belongs to Brocade’s FCX family of access switches, which are designed to deliver dense port counts in a compact form factor for straightforward deployment in data rooms or equipment closets. With four dedicated SFP ports, network designers can tailor the topology to fit campus or branch networks that require both copper access and fiber interconnects, without introducing separate aggregation gear.
