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 more PoE budget? The 448E-FPOE raises it to 772 W; the data-only 448E drops PoE entirely.

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-POE is the 48-port mid-PoE member of the 400-series Campus access line. The 424E-POE offers 24 PoE+ ports for smaller closets, and the 448E-FPOE delivers the full 772 W budget for the densest deployments. Same FortiSwitchOS and FortiLink management across the range.
