FortiSwitch-248E-POE Fortinet 48-Port PoE+ Switch, 370 W | Layer 2/3

Support dense campus and branch access layers with the FortiSwitch-248E-POE. This Fortinet PoE+ switch pairs 48 GE RJ45 access ports with 4 GE SFP uplinks, giving infrastructure teams the port density needed for converged voice, video, and wireless deployments. Automatic maximum 370 W PoE output helps power endpoint-heavy environments without forcing a larger chassis or separate power architecture. Built for FortiGate switch-controller integration, the 248E-POE fits organizations that want centralized policy control across the wired edge. Layer 2/3 capability gives you flexibility for segmented access designs, while the managed platform supports the operational discipline expected in enterprise networks. It is a practical fit when you need more powered ports per rack unit, but still want clean administration and predictable expansion. Choose this model when access-layer density, PoE headroom, and Fortinet alignment matter more than commodity switching. It is designed to reduce endpoint power planning friction and keep critical devices connected through a single, controlled switching layer.
