Ruckus ICX7400-4X1GF 4 Port 1 GbE SFP Expansion Module
Overview
The ICX7400-4X1GF is a plug-in uplink/stacking module designed for the Ruckus ICX 7400/7450 –series switches. It provides four 1 GbE SFP ports in a compact modular format, enabling network engineers to add fiber-based Gigabit uplinks or stacking connections without replacing the entire switch chassis. The module supports SFP optics and is optimized for campus access or aggregation layers where fiber connectivity is required for scalability and future-proofing. Real-world usecases include converting a plain copper access switch into one capable of fiber uplinks for wireless controllers, aggregation stacks, or remote site connectivity.Because the ICX7400-4X1GF uses the same backplane slot as higher-performance modules, you can deploy it initially for cost-effective 1 Gb fiber uplinks and later upgrade to 10 Gb or 40 Gb modules when needed—protecting your investment in the core/aggregation switch. Installation is hot-swappable (with supported chassis) and transparent to the running network, helping you avoid downtime in large enterprise or campus deployments.
Key Features
- Four 1 GbE SFP ports for fiber-based uplinks or stacking links.
- Plug-in module for ICX 7400/7450 family switches—no need to replace the main chassis.
- SFP form-factor supports broad range of fiber optics of your choice (SX, LX, etc.).
- Provides a cost-effective uplink/stacking upgrade path for campus or branch switches with future-proofing.
- Low-power consumption (~5.4 W typical) means minimal impact on power budget.
