Brocade ICX6430-48 48-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch

The Brocade ICX6430-48 is a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for access-layer deployments, delivering 48 RJ-45 10/100/1000BASE-T ports plus four 1 Gbps SFP uplink/stacking ports for fiber connectivity or stack interconnection. In stackable configurations, up to four ICX6430 units can be combined, providing a total stacking bandwidth of 4 Gbps full duplex and enabling scalable edge aggregation across small to mid-size networks. With a switching capacity of 32 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 24 Mpps, it sustains steady performance under typical campus or office traffic loads. Base software is Layer 2, supporting standard switching tasks at the access layer, including VLAN segmentation and port-based networking, while the four SFP uplinks offer flexible inter-switch links as your network grows. Commonly deployed in office environments as a cost-effective, centrally managed switch, the ICX6430-48 is rack-mountable for streamlined data-center or equipment-room integration and provides the essential building blocks for scalable, reliable network access.
