The FortiSwitch 648F-FPOE is a high-density 48-port multi-gigabit campus access switch built to power and connect the bandwidth-hungry edge. It delivers 32 ports at 1/2.5 GE plus 16 ports at 1/2.5/5 GE on RJ45, with full 802.3bt (type 4) Power over Ethernet on all 48 ports and an 1800 W budget — enough to drive Wi-Fi 6E/7 access points, multi-gig endpoints, pan-tilt-zoom cameras and IP phones from a single switch. Eight flexible 1/10/25 GE SFP28 uplinks aggregate 720 Gbps of switching with 1,071 Mpps forwarding in a 1RU chassis. Hardware MACsec encrypts traffic on the wire, and Layer 2/3 FortiSwitchOS handles segmentation and routing. Managed over FortiLink from any FortiGate, it folds wired access and PoE into the Security Fabric — one console for switching, Wi-Fi and security, no separate controller. Don't need PoE? The data-only 648F drops the power budget on the same platform.

Every Fortinet purchase from DataCenter360.ca is backed by hands-on services across the full lifecycle — from rollout to round-the-clock protection.
The 600-series switches share a multi-gigabit RJ45 platform with 25 GE SFP28 uplinks and hardware MACsec. They differ by port count and Power over Ethernet: the 648F-FPOE powers all 48 ports with 802.3bt up to 1800 W, while the data-only 648F drops the PoE budget on the same platform.
| Model | PoE ports | PoE budget | Switching | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FortiSwitch 648F-FPOE | 48 (802.3af/at/bt) | 1800 W | 720 Gbps | Viewing |
| FortiSwitch 648F | 0 (data only) | — | 720 Gbps | View → |
The 648F-FPOE is the 48-port full-PoE member of the 600-series campus line. Drop to the 24-port 624F-FPOE for smaller closets, or move to the data-only 648F when you don't need PoE. Same FortiSwitchOS, MACsec and FortiLink management across the range.
