FortiSwitch 448E-POE 54-Port Managed Switch

The FortiSwitch 448E-POE is a 1U rack-mountable Layer 2/3 switch designed for business networks that require PoE+ power delivery and 10 Gigabit uplinks. It operates from a 100-240V AC supply and includes 1GB RAM with 256MB flash memory for the operating system.

Who This Suits and Who It Does Not

This switch suits IT teams managing FortiGate-controlled environments who need 48 powered RJ45 ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks in a single appliance. Buyers who require more than 54 total ports, need 25G or 40G uplinks, or want a non-PoE variant should look at other models.

The Spec That Decides Fit

The decisive specification is the 48-port PoE+ RJ45 count combined with four 10G SFP+ uplinks, which fixes the total port budget at 54 and determines whether the density matches the cabinet plan.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the FS448EPOE produce when running continuously with all 48 PoE+ ports loaded?

The switch runs on 100-240V AC power and fits in a 1U rack space; fan speed adjusts to internal temperature so acoustic output varies with PoE load.

What cabling and SFP+ modules must I already have to use the 4 × 10 GE uplinks and 48 GE RJ45 ports?

The 48 RJ45 ports take standard twisted-pair copper cable; the four SFP+ slots accept any compatible 10 GE transceiver module you supply.

Will the FS448EPOE integrate with an older FortiGate that only runs Layer 2 switching?

Yes, the switch supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 operation and is managed through the FortiGate switch controller, so it works alongside legacy FortiGate units.
