Sophos C14BTCHUS CS110-48P 48-port managed network switch

48-port managed Gigabit switch with 10G uplinks

The Sophos CS110-48P is a rackmount Layer 2 switch offering 48 RJ45 ports at 10/100/1000 Mbps and four SFP+ slots for 10 Gbps uplinks. It supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE on all copper ports with a 410 W power budget, powering up to 26 devices at 15.4 W or 13 at 30 W. Management is handled through Sophos Central for unified configuration and monitoring.

Suited for PoE-heavy access layers.

Branch offices, retail sites and SMB networks that need to power wireless APs, IP cameras or VoIP phones across many ports will fit the 410 W budget and 256 simultaneous VLANs. Buyers who need Layer 3 routing, static routing tables or dynamic routing protocols should look elsewhere, as this model operates at Layer 2 only. Environments requiring more than 48 powered ports or a higher PoE budget per port will also need a different platform.

Three fans keep thermals steady under full PoE load

Idle draw sits at 29.8 W while maximum typical consumption reaches 476.3 W when the PoE budget is fully utilised. The triple-fan design maintains airflow across the 1U chassis during sustained 410 W PoE delivery, preventing thermal throttling that shorter bursts would not reveal. An external DC adapter supplies 12 V and -54 V rails, so the switch itself does not rely on an internal PSU that could become a single point of heat.
