About the RUCKUS ICX 8100-C16P Compact Switch
The RUCKUS ICX 8100-C16P is an entry-level, compact access switch built for the network edge. It packs 16x 10/100/1000 Mbps (1GbE) PoE+ access ports and 2x 1GbE SFP uplink ports into a small, fanless chassis that runs silently — ideal for locations where a full-depth, rack-mounted switch is impractical, such as front desks, classrooms, retail counters, conference rooms and small offices.
Every access port supports IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (up to 30W, Class 4), backed by a 124W total PoE power budget. That is enough to power and connect Wi-Fi access points, IP phones, IP cameras and smart IoT endpoints directly, removing the need for separate power supplies at each device. The two 1GbE SFP uplinks provide flexible fiber or copper backhaul to the distribution or core layer.
As part of the RUCKUS ICX 8100 family, the C16P is managed through RUCKUS One cloud, the SmartZone controller, or the ICX command-line interface, giving IT teams a single, consistent way to operate wired and wireless networks. As an authorized RUCKUS partner, Barrdega supplies the ICX 8100-C16P (part number ICX8100-C16P) with expert deployment guidance — request a quote for project pricing.

How many ports does the RUCKUS ICX 8100-C16P have?
The ICX 8100-C16P provides 16x 10/100/1000 Mbps (1GbE) RJ45 PoE+ access ports plus 2x 1GbE SFP uplink ports for backhaul to the network core or distribution layer.
What is the PoE budget of the ICX 8100-C16P?
It delivers IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (up to 30W per port, Class 4) with a total system PoE power budget of 124W, enough to power Wi-Fi access points, IP phones, cameras and IoT endpoints.
Is the ICX 8100-C16P fanless?
Yes. The ICX 8100-C16P is a compact, fanless entry-level access switch designed for quiet operation in offices, classrooms, guest areas and other space-constrained locations outside a traditional wiring closet.
What is the difference between the ICX8100-C16P and ICX8100-C16P-X?
Both share the same 16x 1GbE PoE+ access ports and 124W PoE budget. The C16P has 2x 1GbE SFP uplinks, while the C16P-X variant provides faster 2x 10GbE SFP+ uplinks for higher-bandwidth backhaul.
How is the RUCKUS ICX 8100-C16P managed?
The ICX 8100-C16P can be managed through RUCKUS One (cloud), the SmartZone network controller, or directly via the RUCKUS ICX command-line interface (CLI).
