Every Fortinet purchase from DataCenter360.ca is backed by hands-on services across the full lifecycle — from rollout to round-the-clock protection.
Both 148E models share the same 48-port / 104 Gbps platform with four GbE SFP uplinks. They differ by Power over Ethernet: the 148E-POE powers 24 ports (370 W), while the base 148E has no PoE output.
The 148E-POE is the PoE+ 48-port member of the E-series access line. The data-only 148E covers the same access role without PoE, and the current-gen 148F-POE adds higher capacity and 10 GbE uplinks. Same FortiSwitchOS and FortiLink management across the range.
