End-of-sale 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch (48x GE RJ45 with 24 PoE+ ports / 370 W + 4x GE SFP, 104 Gbps switching, FortiLink-managed). The FS-148E-POE hardware is no longer stocked - the current, in-stock replacement is the FortiSwitch 148F-POE. See the upgrade path below.
The FortiSwitch 148E-POE is a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet access switch from Fortinet's E-series Secure Access line, with Power over Ethernet on 24 of its ports - 48x GE RJ45 (24x PoE+ 802.3af/at, 370 W budget) plus four GE SFP fiber uplinks, with 104 Gbps of switching capacity. Managed over FortiLink from any FortiGate, it folds wired access into the Security Fabric so switching, Wi-Fi and security share one console.
The 148E-POE has reached end of sale and is no longer stocked as new hardware. The current, in-stock replacement is the FortiSwitch 148F-POE - the same 48-port PoE+ access role with a higher 176 Gbps switching capacity and 10 GbE SFP+ uplinks. Need PoE on all 48 ports? Choose the 148F-FPOE (740 W). For a data-only switch, see the 148F. See the upgrade path below, or contact us for migration help.

The 148E-POE is end of sale. The FortiSwitch 148F-POE is the direct, currently-shipping replacement – same 48-port PoE+ access role (24 ports / 370 W), higher 176 Gbps switching capacity and 10 GbE SFP+ uplinks. Choose the 148F-FPOE for PoE on all 48 ports. Same FortiSwitchOS and FortiLink management across the range.
Fiber uplink transceivers for the GE SFP ports. The same optics carry over to the current FortiSwitch 148F-POE.
No. The FortiSwitch 148E-POE (FS-148E-POE) has reached end of sale and is no longer stocked as new hardware. The current, in-stock replacement is the FortiSwitch 148F-POE – we can quote it and help you migrate.
The FortiSwitch 148F-POE is the direct replacement – the same 48-port Gigabit access role with 24 PoE+ ports (370 W), a higher 176 Gbps switching capacity and 10 GbE SFP+ uplinks. Need PoE on all 48 ports? Choose the 148F-FPOE (740 W).
It powered 24 of its 48 ports with PoE+ (802.3af/at) on a 370 W budget – enough for a mix of Wi-Fi access points, IP phones and cameras. The current 148F-POE keeps the same 24-port / 370 W PoE+ budget; the 148F-FPOE powers all 48 ports at 740 W.
Over FortiLink from any FortiGate firewall, so switching, Wi-Fi and security were managed in one console with no separate controller. It could also run standalone. The 148F-POE keeps the same FortiLink management.
Yes. As a Fortinet Select Partner we can spec the right current FortiSwitch, match port and PoE counts, and quote hardware plus FortiCare. Hardware ships free and fast; licensing is delivered electronically worldwide.
