48-port Fast Ethernet PoE+ Layer 3 switch

The HPE 3600-48-PoE is a Layer 3 switch that provides 48 Fast Ethernet ports with PoE+ support and four Gigabit Ethernet SFP uplinks. It is built for enterprise network edge deployments that need resilient switching and traffic prioritisation for converged voice, video and data applications.

Suited for edge networks needing PoE+ on many

This switch fits organisations that power IP phones, wireless access points or cameras over 48 Fast Ethernet connections and aggregate traffic through four Gigabit SFP uplinks. It is not for buyers who require Gigabit copper on every downlink, modular expansion, or stacking ports.

48 PoE+ Fast Ethernet ports

The decisive specification is the port configuration: 48 10/100 PoE+ ports and four Gigabit Ethernet SFP slots for uplinks. Confirm that your cabling plan and uplink strategy match this exact mix before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 48-port PoE+ switch generate when running continuously?

The unit has 48 Fast Ethernet ports and four Gigabit SFP uplinks; heat output scales with PoE load across the 48 ports.

What cabling or modules are required to use the four Gigabit SFP uplinks?

You need compatible SFP transceivers and matching fibre or copper patch cords for each of the four uplink slots.

Will the 10/100 ports negotiate with legacy 10 Mbps devices still on the network?

Yes, each of the 48 Fast Ethernet ports auto-negotiates 10 or 100 Mbps speeds.
