48-Port Managed Switch for Fibre Uplinks

The Brocade ICX 7450-48F is a rack-mountable managed switch with 48 fibre ports operating at 1000Base-LX, 1000Base-SX and 1000Base-X speeds. It includes four 10G SFP+ uplinks and two 40G QSFP+ uplinks for stacking or aggregation. A single 250W AC power supply and a front-to-back airflow fan ship in the box.

Replaces Standalone Gigabit Fibre Switches

This unit consolidates 48 fibre connections and high-speed uplinks in one chassis, removing the need for separate access and aggregation layers. The jump is worth it when a campus or data-centre rack requires dense 1G fibre connectivity with 10G and 40G uplinks ready for future growth. It is not suited for deployments that need copper RJ-45 access ports or PoE power delivery.

Sustained Load Behaviour with Front-to-Back Cooling

The included fan forces air from front to back, matching standard hot-aisle and cold-aisle layouts so heat does not recirculate under continuous traffic. The 250W supply powers the full port complement and both 40G QSFP+ modules without throttling during extended peak loads. No redundant power supply is included, so sites requiring N+1 resilience must source a second unit separately.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and airflow clearance does the 14.99 lb ICX 7450-48F need for front-to-back cooling?

The switch is rack-mountable and ships with a single fan providing front-to-back airflow; allow space at the front and rear for unobstructed intake and exhaust.

How are the 4 x 10G SFP+ and 2 x 40G QSFP+ uplinks installed, and what step is often missed?

Insert each transceiver until it clicks, then lock the bail latch; the step often missed is securing the latch, which can cause intermittent links.

When should the 250W AC power supply or the front-to-back fan be replaced?

Replace the power supply if output voltage drifts or the unit fails to power on, and replace the fan if airflow drops or bearing noise appears.
