48-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch

The Dell PowerConnect 5448 is a rack-mountable network switch providing forty-eight Gigabit Ethernet ports for wired connectivity. It operates on a 100-240 V, 50-60 Hz power supply rated at 1.8 A. Mounting brackets, a VGA cable and a power cable are included in the package.

Suited for standard rack deployments

This unit suits administrators who need a single 1U appliance to aggregate forty-eight copper links in a cabinet. It is not for buyers who require Power over Ethernet, fibre uplinks or stacking features beyond the base specification. Environments needing advanced Layer 3 routing or deeper buffer capacity should evaluate other platforms.

Forty-eight Gigabit copper ports

The decisive specification is the forty-eight Gigabit Ethernet ports in a rack-mountable form factor. That port count and speed determine whether the switch matches the density and throughput requirements of the intended network segment.

Questions about this item

How do I rack-mount the Dell PowerConnect 5448 and what step is often missed?

Attach the supplied brackets to the switch using the side mounting holes, then secure the brackets to the rack rails; the step often missed is tightening all bracket screws before sliding the unit into the rack.

What component will need replacement first on the PowerConnect 5448 under normal operation?

The internal cooling fans are the only moving parts and will require replacement before the solid-state switching fabric degrades.

What thermal limit appears first when the 48-port switch runs at full load continuously?

The chassis temperature rating is reached before the 100-240 V 1.8 A power supply hits its current limit, triggering fan speed increase.
