OVERVIEW

What the FortiSwitch 648F is for

The FortiSwitch 648F is a high-density multi-gigabit campus access switch for wiring closets that need both density and bandwidth. Forty-eight multi-rate RJ45 ports split across 32 ports at 1/2.5 GE and 16 ports at 1/2.5/5 GE — cover a full floor of endpoints and Wi-Fi 6E/7 access points in a single 1RU device. Eight flexible 1/10/25 GE SFP28 uplinks aggregate to the core at 720 Gbps (1,071 Mpps), and hardware MACsec encrypts traffic on the wire. 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. Dual hot-swappable AC power supplies (2x 350 W) provide redundancy. Need PoE? The 648F-FPOE powers all 48 ports with an 802.3bt budget up to 1,800 W on the same platform.

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, doubling the density of the 624F with the same MACsec and FortiLink management. Step up to the 648F-FPOE when you need 802.3bt PoE at scale. Same FortiSwitchOS across the range.

FAQ

FortiSwitch 648F frequently asked questions

Yes — the 648F is a current-generation FortiSwitch 600-series campus switch, actively sold and supported, not on an end-of-order schedule.

No — the 648F is data only (48 RJ45 ports + 8x 25GE SFP28). If you need to power Wi-Fi access points, phones or cameras, the 648F-FPOE powers all 48 ports with an 802.3bt budget up to 1,800 W on the same multi-gigabit platform.

The 648F has 32 multi-rate RJ45 ports at 1/2.5 GE and 16 multi-rate RJ45 ports at 1/2.5/5 GE (48 total), plus eight flexible 1/10/25 GE SFP28 uplinks. Switching capacity is 720 Gbps at 1,071 Mpps.

The 648F doubles the port count to 48 RJ45 (vs 24) and the uplinks to 8x 25GE SFP28 (vs 4), with 720 Gbps switching (vs 440 Gbps). Both are data-only and use the same FortiSwitchOS, MACsec and FortiLink management.

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.
