FortiSwitch 148F 48-Port PoE Switch

The FortiSwitch 148F is a managed Layer 2 switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks. It supports Power over Ethernet for connected devices and fits a single rack unit. The switch is managed through FortiLink integration with a FortiGate firewall or independently via GUI, API, or command line.

Suits FortiGate-Centric Networks Not Standalone

This switch targets organisations that want centralised security and access management from a FortiGate interface across wired and wireless traffic. It scales to hundreds of units in SD-Branch deployments with converged voice, data, and wireless. Buyers who do not use FortiGate appliances and prefer a fully autonomous switch with a simpler web interface should consider other options.

48 GE RJ45 Plus 4 10G SFP+ Port Count

The port configuration provides 48 copper Gigabit connections for endpoints and four 10 Gigabit fibre uplinks for aggregation. This mix determines whether the switch matches the density and uplink speed required for a specific wiring closet or desktop deployment. No other port counts or speeds are available on this model.

Questions about this item

How much power does the FS-148F draw when all 48 ports are active with PoE devices?

The switch supports PoE across its 48 GE RJ45 ports; total power budget depends on the power supply configuration chosen for the deployment.

What management platform is needed to control the FS-148F through FortiLink?

A FortiGate firewall running FortiOS is required to manage the switch via FortiLink and integrate it into the Security Fabric.

Can the four 10G SFP+ ports link directly to older 1G SFP modules?

The 10G SFP+ ports accept compatible 1G SFP transceivers, allowing direct uplinks to legacy Gigabit equipment.
