OVERVIEW

What the FortiSwitch 648F is for

The FortiSwitch 648F is a high-density 48-port multi-gigabit campus access switch built for the bandwidth that large Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 deployments demand. It delivers 32 ports at 1/2.5 GE plus 16 ports at 1/2.5/5 GE on RJ45, and eight flexible 1/10/25 GE SFP28 uplinks, with 720 Gbps of switching capacity and 1,071 Mpps forwarding in a 1RU chassis - data only, no PoE. 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 into the Security Fabric - one console for switching, Wi-Fi and security, with no separate controller. Need PoE for the access edge? The 648F-FPOE powers all 48 ports with an 802.3bt budget up to 1800 W.

Compare the FortiSwitch 600 line

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 is data only on 48 ports, while the 648F-FPOE adds 802.3bt PoE up to 1800 W across all 48 ports.

COMPARE THE LINEUP

How the 648F compares across the 600 line

The 648F is the 48-port data-only member of the 600-series campus line. Drop to the 24-port 624F for smaller closets, or move to the 648F-FPOE or 624F-FPOE when you need 802.3bt PoE. Same FortiSwitchOS, MACsec and FortiLink management across the range.
