Fortinet FS-648F-FPOE Managed Multi-Gigabit PoE Switch

Description

The Fortinet FortiSwitch FS‑648F‑FPOE is a high‑density, enterprise‑class managed multi‑gigabit PoE++ switch designed to meet the demands of large campus networks, data centers, and high‑performance enterprise deployments. It features a diverse mix of access ports including 32 multi‑gigabit (1/2.5 GbE) RJ‑45 ports and 16 multi‑speed (1/2.5/5 GbE) RJ‑45 ports, each capable of delivering PoE++ power to attached devices such as wireless access points, VoIP phones, IoT devices, and high‑end surveillance cameras. The total PoE budget of up to approximately 1800 W provides ample power for dense deployments without external injectors.

For uplink and high‑bandwidth backbone connectivity, the switch includes eight 10 GbE / 25 GbE SFP+/SFP28 ports, enabling flexible fiber or high‑speed aggregation to distribution or core layers. With a switching capacity of around 720 Gbps and a throughput of about 1071 million packets per second, the FS‑648F‑FPOE delivers wire‑speed performance for mixed traffic patterns in modern networks. Its extensive VLAN, link aggregation, and QoS capabilities ensure effective traffic segmentation and prioritization.

The FS‑648F‑FPOE supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, robust security controls such as 802.1X and ACLs, and integrates seamlessly with FortiGate via FortiLink for centralized policy management and visibility. Dual hot‑swappable power supplies and a rack‑mountable 1U design contribute to its reliability and suitability for mission‑critical environments.
