FIGURE 4 Rear view of the Ruckus ICX 7750
Ruckus ICX 7750 slot and Ethernet port numbering
Many CLI commands require users to enter port numbers as part of the command syntax, and many show command outputs display
port numbers. The port numbers are entered and displayed in stack-unit/slot number/port number format.
The Ruckus ICX 7750 contains the following slots and Ethernet ports:
•Slot 1 and Slot 2 are located on the front of the Ruckus ICX 7750-26Q device. Slot 1 contains 10/40 GbE QSFP+ ports
XL1/1 through XL1/20; odd port numbers on the top row with port XL1/1 on the left and port XL1/20 on the right. Slot 2

Supported expansion module
A 6-port 10/40 GbE QSFP+ expansion/stacking module can be purchased and installed in the rear of the Ruckus ICX 7750. The
module supports a range of 10 GbE and 40 GbE optics (refer to the Ruckus Optics Family Data Sheet).
Instructions for installing or replacing an expansion/stacking module are described in “Replacing an expansion module” on page 66.

For a list of supported transceivers and cables, refer to the Ruckus Optics Family Data Sheet.
High-power 40 GbE optic support
Certain 40 GbE transceivers require higher power to operate. Cooling and power considerations limit the use of these optics in the Ruckus
ICX 7750 switch. These optics include the 40GBASE-LR4, 40GBASE-LM4, 40GBASE-SR-BIDI, and 40GBASE-ER4 transceivers.
Table 5 indicates the port range limitations for these optics based on airflow direction and switch model.
The Ruckus ICX 7750 also supports 40GBASE-SR-BD bi-directional (BiDi) QSFP+ transceivers with duplex LC optics. The 40 GbE
BiDi optics support two 20 GbE channels over duplex fiber cable, with the transmit and receive of each channel operating at two
wavelengths on a single fiber.

Ruckus ICX 7750 Overview
Supported transceivers and cables
The 40 GbE BiDi transceivers enable 40 GbE links to be supported on installed 10 GbE duplex fiber infrastructure. This optic has the
same port limitations as the LR4 optic.
Breakout cables
The Ruckus ICX 7750 can support the following breakout cables on certain 40 GbE ports:
•QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ (4x10 GbE) direct-attach copper breakout cables, lengths of 1, 3, and 5 m
•4x10 GbE QSFP+ SR4 compatible with 10GBase-SR SFP+ using 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, and 100 m lengths of fiber cable
FIGURE 10 QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ (4x10 GbE) breakout cable
The Ruckus ICX 7750 ports available for breakout are shown for each model in Table 6.
QSFP+ to SFP+ adapter support
The Ruckus ICX 7750 supports a third-party QSFP+ to SFP+ adapter for cost-effective connections between 40 GbE QSFP+ ports and
10 GbE hardware using standard SFP+ optical cabling rather than breakout cables.
An SFP+ transceiver (SR, LR, or USR) inserted in the QSFP+ to SFP+ adapter behaves as if it is connected to the first of the 4 breakout
ports on the 40 GbE QSFP+ interface with no other ports available in the breakout. The 4x10 GbE breakout mode must be configured on
the QSFP+ interface.
10G-SFPP-TX-A transceiver support
The 10G-SFPP-TX-A transceiver consumes significantly more power than typical 10G transceivers. This section provides guidelines for
deploying the 10G-SFPP-TX-A transceiver within the power capabilities of the supported ICX 7750-48F switch.
If the guidelines in this section are not followed, there is a risk of system instability and/or reboot.
Follow the guidelines provided in Table 7 to avoid a power violation.
For each 10G-SFPP-TX-A installed, another SFP+ slot MUST be left empty.
