The FortiSwitch 448E-FPOE is a 48-port Gigabit access switch with full Power over Ethernet on every port and four 10GE SFP+ uplinks, built for high-density wiring closets that power access points, IP phones and cameras. It delivers 48 PoE+ (802.3af/at) ports on a 772 W budget, four 10GE SFP+ fiber uplinks and 176 Gbps of switching capacity, in a 1RU rack-mount chassis with optional redundant AC power. Managed over FortiLink from any FortiGate, it folds wired access into the Security Fabric — one console for switching, Wi-Fi and security, with no separate controller. It also runs standalone. Powering fewer devices? The 448E-POE (421 W) covers lighter loads, and the data-only 448E drops PoE entirely.

Every Fortinet purchase from DataCenter360.ca is backed by hands-on services across the full lifecycle — from rollout to round-the-clock protection.
All 448E models share the same 48-port / 176 Gbps platform with four 10GE SFP+ uplinks. They differ by Power over Ethernet: the data-only 448E has no PoE output, the 448E-POE powers 48 ports at a 421 W budget, and the 448E-FPOE raises the PoE+ budget to 772 W.
The 448E-FPOE is the high-density, full-PoE member of the 400-series Campus access line. The 248E-FPOE offers 48 PoE+ ports at lower switching capacity, and the 424E-FPOE is the 24-port option. Same FortiSwitchOS and FortiLink management across the range.
Every available SKU for the FS-448E-FPOE: switch hardware, FortiCare support and RMA services. In stock, brand new; licensing delivered electronically worldwide.
