FortiSwitch 248E-PoE+ 48-Port Switch

The Fortinet FS-248E-FPOE is a managed Layer 3 rackmount switch designed for SD-Branch deployments. It provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports with PoE+ and four SFP uplink ports. Centralised configuration is available through FortiLink integration with FortiGate controllers. The unit also supports standalone management via GUI, API or command line.

Suited for converged access layers, not core routing

This switch suits organisations deploying voice, data and wireless traffic on a single infrastructure with centralised security policies. The 740 W PoE budget powers dense access-point or IP-phone installations. Buyers needing 10 GbE uplinks, higher PoE density per port, or core-layer routing features should evaluate different platforms.

740 W PoE budget across 48 ports

The total PoE power budget of 740 W determines how many Class 4 devices can run simultaneously. Per-port allocation depends on the actual power draw of connected endpoints. Verify the aggregate requirement of your powered devices against this figure before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the FS-248E-FPOE ship with SFP transceivers or must they be purchased separately?

The switch includes the 48 RJ45 ports and four SFP cages; SFP modules are not included and must be sourced separately.

How do I decide between using the 48 PoE+ RJ45 ports versus the four SFP uplinks for my topology?

Use the 48 PoE+ RJ45 ports for powered endpoints such as phones or cameras; reserve the four SFP cages for fibre uplinks to the core or aggregation layer.

What does the 740 W PoE budget mean when every port is active in a rack?

The 740 W budget is shared across all 48 PoE+ ports, so the average available power per port is about 15 W when every port is in use.
