Ports and form factor

The Fortinet FS-248E-POE is a rackmount managed switch with 48 RJ45 Gigabit ports and 4 SFP uplinks. It delivers PoE+ on 24 ports with a 370 W total power budget. The unit fits a standard 1U rack space and runs on 100-240 V AC with an optional redundant supply.

Who this suits

Network teams needing secure, centrally managed access for wired, wireless and VoIP endpoints will benefit from FortiGate integration and Layer 2/3 features. Buyers who need PoE on every port or a higher total power budget should consider other models.

PoE budget constraint

The 370 W PoE limit shared across 24 ports is the decisive figure; it determines how many high-power devices such as pan-tilt-zoom cameras or 802.3at access points can run simultaneously.

Questions about this item

Will the FS-248E-POE's 48 RJ45 ports auto-negotiate speed and duplex with my older 10/100 devices?

Yes, the switch supports auto-negotiation for port speed and duplex on all 48 RJ45 ports, so legacy 10/100 endpoints will connect at their highest common rate without manual configuration.

Which front-panel LEDs confirm the 370 W PoE budget is delivering power to connected devices?

Each of the 24 PoE+ ports has a dedicated PoE LED that lights solid green when a powered device is detected and receiving power under the 370 W total budget.

Does the box include SFP transceivers for the 4 SFP uplinks, or must I purchase them separately?

The package contains the switch, an AC power cord, rack-mount brackets and a console cable; SFP modules for the 4 SFP ports are not included and must be bought separately.
