48-port Managed Stackable Switch

The Brocade ICX6430-48P is a managed stackable switch built for enterprise campus LANs. It delivers 48 ports of 10/100/1000 Mbps connectivity in a desktop form factor. The unit supports IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE+ for powering wireless access points and IP phones. It is designed to scale affordably within evolving network environments.

Suited for PoE edge deployments

This switch fits organisations needing managed Layer 2 and Layer 3 features with PoE+ on every port. It suits IT teams building resilient stacks for campus distribution or wiring closets. Buyers requiring 10 GbE downlink speeds on all 48 ports should look elsewhere. Sites without PoE devices or stacking needs may find simpler switches more cost-effective.

Primary port speed 10/100/1000 Mbps

The decisive specification is the primary port speed of 10/100/1000 Mbps across all 48 RJ-45 interfaces. This determines the maximum throughput available to each connected endpoint. Uplink and stacking ports operate at 1 GbE or 10 GbE depending on the installed modules. Confirm that your endpoints and aggregation links match these speed tiers before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the ICX 6430-48P produce when running continuously?

The desktop-form-factor switch weighs 13.80 lb and includes internal fans sized for 48 PoE+ ports; expect moderate airflow noise and warm exhaust under full load.

What cabling and power infrastructure must already be in place for the 48 PoE+ ports to function?

You need Category 5e or better copper to each endpoint, a grounded AC circuit for the switch itself, and devices that accept IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at power.

Will the 10/100/1000 Mbps ports on this 6430 model negotiate correctly with older 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps gear I keep?

Yes, each of the 48 RJ-45 ports auto-negotiates down to 10 or 100 Mbps full- or half-duplex, so legacy devices connect without configuration.
