The RUCKUS ICX 7850-32Q 100G Chassis Replacement Switch is a high-performance 100GbE aggregation and core switch designed to replace bulky modular chassis in large campus, enterprise, and data center environments. With 32 × 100GbE QSFP28 ports, it delivers massive throughput in a compact 1U form factor, supporting flexible port breakouts for 40GbE, 25GbE, 10GbE, and even 1GbE connections. Built with carrier-class redundancy, advanced Layer 3 capabilities, and scalable stacking, the ICX 7850-32Q is optimized for future-proof high-speed network backbones.
