The FortiSwitch 448E-POE is a 48-port Gigabit access switch with 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 421 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. Need the full PoE budget? The 448E-FPOE raises it to 772 W, and the data-only 448E drops PoE entirely.

Download the full datasheetAll 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-POE is the 48-port full-PoE member of the 400-series Campus access line. The 424E-POE offers 24 PoE+ ports for smaller closets, and the 248E-POE provides 48 ports with selective PoE at lower switching capacity. Same FortiSwitchOS and FortiLink management across the range.

10GE SFP+ uplink transceivers and direct-attach cables for the four fiber ports.
Yes – the 448E-POE is a current-generation FortiSwitch access switch, actively sold and supported, not on an end-of-order schedule.
All 48 access ports support PoE+ (802.3af/at) on a 421 W power budget, enough to power a high-density closet of Wi-Fi access points, IP phones and cameras. For the full budget, the 448E-FPOE raises it to 772 W; the data-only 448E has no PoE.
Over FortiLink from any FortiGate firewall, so switching, Wi-Fi and security are managed in one console with no separate controller. It can also run standalone.
Four 10GE SFP+ ports for fast, non-blocking fiber or DAC links back to the core or a FortiGate, alongside the 48 Gigabit PoE+ access ports.
Yes. Hardware ships free and is usually dispatched the same or next business day from stock. FortiCare is delivered electronically, worldwide. We are an authorized Fortinet Select Partner.
