Description:
The Fortinet FortiSwitch FS‑248E‑FPOE is a high‑density, enterprise‑grade 48‑port managed Gigabit Ethernet switch with full PoE/PoE+ support on every access port. Designed for modern business networks—including campus access, branch offices, and mid‑sized enterprise environments—it combines robust data switching with abundant power delivery, enabling the deployment of PoE devices like wireless access points, VoIP phones, security cameras, and access control systems without separate power injectors. With a total PoE budget of 740 W across all 48 ports, this switch can simultaneously power large numbers of devices while maintaining network performance.
The FS‑248E‑FPOE offers a 104 Gbps switching capacity and a 155 Mpps forwarding rate, providing efficient wire‑speed data handling for typical enterprise traffic. It supports up to 4096 VLANs, robust MAC address capacity, link aggregation groups for increased throughput and redundancy, and essential Layer 2 networking features such as spanning tree protocols, IGMP snooping, and quality‑of‑service controls to prioritize critical traffic.
Management is flexible, with options for CLI, SNMP, and centralized control via FortiGate FortiLink or FortiManager, enabling simplified configuration and unified policy enforcement across the security fabric. Rack‑mountable with internal AC power and optional redundant power support, the FS‑248E‑FPOE delivers a scalable, secure, and power‑rich networking solution for demanding PoE environments.
