What WCC Delivers

Switch Design & Sizing

Switch model, port count, and PoE budget selected per location based on connected device inventory — AP count, camera count, phone count, and uplink requirements per switch.

Physical Installation

Rack mounting, fiber uplinks, PoE device connections, and RUCKUS One, SmartZone, or standalone management adoption — every switch commissioned before handoff.

VLAN & Segmentation

Camera VLANs, wireless VLANs, voice VLANs, and management VLANs designed and documented — proper traffic segmentation from day one.

PoE & Stacking Configuration

PoE budget, 802.3bt (90W) per-port planning for high-power APs, and RUCKUS ICX long-distance stacking configured across distributed campus locations.

RUCKUS One Integration

Admin Training & Runbooks

Live walkthrough on RUCKUS One or ICX management plus documented procedures for VLAN changes, port configuration, PoE troubleshooting, and firmware management.

Supported Hardware

RUCKUS ICX Switch Models — What a RUCKUS Switch Installer Deploys

WCC installs the full RUCKUS ICX switch lineup — current generation access, aggregation, and core switches.

Entry-Level Access

ICX 8100

ICX 8100 — entry-level enterprise access switch for hotels, MDU, and educational environments where simplicity and cost-effectiveness are priorities. Integrated with RUCKUS One for cloud management.

Enterprise Access

ICX 8200

ICX 8200 — current generation enterprise access switch optimized for wireless-first campus networks. Up to 25GbE uplinks for Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 AP density, 802.3bt (90W) PoE, and VXLAN support for advanced network segmentation.

Aggregation

ICX 7550 · ICX 7650

ICX 7550 — multigigabit access with 100GbE uplinks for high-density environments. ICX 7650 — campus edge and distribution with multigigabit access ports and 40/100GbE uplinks, supporting RUCKUS Campus Fabric.

Core

ICX 7850

ICX 7850 — high-performance campus core and data center top-of-rack. Non-blocking 100GbE ports, up to 6.4 Tbps switching capacity, and distributed chassis stacking for flexible campus core designs without traditional modular chassis cost.

Platform Capabilities

RUCKUS ICX Platform — Key Capabilities

RUCKUS ICX switches integrate seamlessly with RUCKUS wireless APs through RUCKUS One — providing unified wired and wireless management from a single cloud dashboard.

RUCKUS One Unified Management

RUCKUS ICX switches managed alongside RUCKUS APs in RUCKUS One — unified port-level visibility, switch templates, and health monitoring across wired and wireless from a single cloud dashboard.

Long-Distance Stacking

RUCKUS ICX unique long-distance stacking over standard SFP/SFP+ fiber up to 10km — stack multiple switches across separate buildings into a single logical device, eliminating traditional aggregation hardware at distributed campus locations.

PoE++ (802.3bt)

ICX 8200 and 7550 support 802.3bt PoE++ at up to 90W per port — fully powering the latest Wi-Fi 7 access points, multi-radio APs, and high-power IoT devices without external power injectors.

RUCKUS Campus Fabric

RUCKUS Campus Fabric technology collapses access and aggregation layers into a single logical switch — ICX 7650 as core with ICX 7550 or 7850 as access, simplifying management and reducing network hops.

VXLAN Support

ICX 8200 and 7650 support VXLAN for advanced network segmentation — enabling multi-tenant environments, micro-segmentation, and policy enforcement for IoT and BYOD device isolation.

SmartZone Integration

For environments with SmartZone wireless controller, ICX switches integrate for unified policy enforcement — consistent VLAN assignment and security policy applied across both wired and wireless connections.
