What PoE capabilities does the FCX 624S-HPOE provide?

It features 24x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports supporting PoE+ (802.3at) up to 30 watts per port with a 570W total budget. Dual redundant hot-swappable PSUs support 970W max (167W switch-only), powering full Class 3/PoE+ on all ports for APs, cameras, and phones without injectors.

How does stacking work on this switch?

Brocade IronStack technology stacks up to 8 units into one logical switch using 2x16Gbps ports, providing 80 Gbps inter-stack bandwidth, hitless failover, and hot swap. Management is unified via web/SSH/SNMP, scaling to 192 ports with Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 routing.

What are the uplink options?

Optional 4-port 10GbE module with SFP+ ports supports Direct-Attached Copper, SR, and LR transceivers. Includes 1Gbps SFP combo ports for SX, LX, LHA, LHB, 1000Base-BX, CWDM, enabling flexible high-speed connections to aggregation layers.

What is the switching performance?

Offers 48 Gbps switching capacity with 16,000 MAC addresses, 9000-byte maximum jumbo frames, and hardware-based sFlow. Supports non-blocking wire-speed across 24x1GbE ports, ideal for data center ToR with high MAC table for dense environments.

What management and security features are included?

Web-based GUI, SSHv2, Telnet, SNMP management with out-of-band RJ-45 port. Protocols include 802.1AB LLDP/LLDP-MED, RADIUS/TACACS+, 802.1x, username/password, SCP. sFlow provides traffic visibility; Layer 3 OSPF/RIP/VRRP standard.

What are the physical and environmental specs?

1U rack-mount (44x4.4x44 cm, 11.3 kg) with side-to-back reversible airflow. Operates 0-40°C, 10-90% humidity; stores -40-70°C. Dual PSUs, RoHS/WEEE compliant, EMC standards like EN 61000-4 series for enterprise reliability.
