Fortinet FS-448E-FPOE-TAA 48-Port PoE+ Switch | Layer 2/3 SFP+

Support dense access deployments with a switch built for FortiGate-managed environments. The FortiSwitch-448E-FPOE-TAA combines 48 GE RJ45 ports with PoE+ delivery and 4 x 10 GE SFP+ uplinks, giving infrastructure teams the port density and uplink capacity needed for modern campus and branch networks. Layer 2/3 capability gives you flexibility in how traffic is segmented and routed, while FortiGate switch controller compatibility simplifies operational alignment across the security and switching stack. That matters when you want consistent policy control without adding unnecessary management overhead. The TAA designation also makes this model easier to place in public sector and regulated procurement paths. Compared with lower-density access switches, this platform is built for environments where port count, uplink speed, and policy integration all carry real operational value. It is the kind of switch you buy when the access layer has to scale without becoming the next constraint.
