48-port PoE switch with 600 W budget

This smart-managed layer 2 switch provides 48 RJ-45 PoE ports split between Class 4 and Class 6, two 10GBASE-T ports and two SFP+ uplinks. It is built for small and growing businesses that need to power access points, cameras and phones from a single device. Stacking up to four units under one IP address simplifies expansion.

Suits offices needing high-density PoE.

Organisations that require up to 480 W of Class 6 power or the full 600 W of Class 4 power will find the budget sufficient for dense endpoint deployments. Buyers who need layer 3 routing, advanced QoS or a larger aggregate PoE budget should look at a different tier of switch.

600 W total PoE budget

The single specification that decides fit is the 600 W PoE power budget, which delivers up to 480 W for Class 6 devices or the full 600 W for Class 4 devices. This figure determines how many high-power endpoints can be supported simultaneously without an external injector.

Questions about this item

How many 10 Gbps devices can I connect directly to the two 10GBASE-T ports?

The two 10GBASE-T ports each deliver 10 Gbps over standard copper cabling, so you can connect two servers or storage units at full 10 Gbps without adding SFP+ transceivers.

Does the 600 W PoE budget limit the total power I can draw across all 48 ports?

Yes, the 600 W budget is shared; you can run up to 480 W of Class 6 devices or the full 600 W of Class 4 devices, but the combined draw cannot exceed the stated budget.

Will this 1960 switch fit in a standard 19-inch rack with only 1.73 inches of vertical space?

At 1.73 inches high and 17.42 inches wide, the unit occupies exactly 1 U in a 19-inch rack and weighs 10.8 lbs for easy mounting.
