Dell N1500 48-Port PoE+ Switch
The Dell N1548P is a new managed switch module in the N1500 series that delivers 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ capability and integrated 10GbE uplinks. It uses a non-blocking architecture to maintain wire-speed performance under heavy traffic loads. The unit supports high-availability stacking at 40Gbps full-duplex, allowing up to four switches to be managed from a single IP address.
Ideal for PoE access-layer deployments
This switch suits networks that need to power devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras or VoIP phones directly from the switch without separate power cabling. It is not suited for environments that require more than 48 powered ports per unit or a higher per-port power budget than 30.8 watts. Buyers needing fibre-only connectivity or core-layer routing features should evaluate other platforms.
30.8-watt PoE+ per-port power budget
The decisive specification is the maximum 30.8 watts available on each of the 48 PoE+ ports, which determines whether attached devices can operate without external power supplies. Verify the power draw of every endpoint against this limit before deployment. The 40Gbps stacking bandwidth and 10GbE uplinks then define the upstream capacity available for the aggregated traffic.

Questions about this item
What does the 48-port PoE+ count mean for my network devices?
You can connect up to 48 powered devices such as access points or cameras, each drawing up to 30.8 watts, without separate power supplies.
How does the 40Gbps stacking link affect uplink capacity?
The 40Gbps full-duplex stacking bus lets you manage up to four N1500 switches from one IP address while maintaining wire-speed 10GbE uplinks across the stack.
What physical slot does the N1548P module occupy in a Dell chassis?
The N1548P is a standalone 1U rack-mount switch in the N1500 series, not a blade module for a chassis.
