Sophos LS24FZ12ZZPCUS CS210 48-port managed network switch

48-Port Managed Switch for SMB Networks

The Sophos CS210-48FP is a rackmount Layer 2 switch with 48 RJ45 ports and four SFP+ uplinks. It targets branch offices, retail sites and small-to-medium businesses that need managed switching with high-density Power over Ethernet. The switch supports IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards across all 48 ports.

Build Integration and PoE Flexibility

Thirty-two ports run at 10/100/1000Base-T while sixteen ports add 2.5GBase-T capability for multi-gigabit endpoints. Four SFP+ slots accept 1G or 10G transceivers and DAC cables up to 5 metres for uplink aggregation. A 740 W PoE budget powers up to 48 devices at 15.4 W or 24 devices at 30 W simultaneously. The external DC adapter accepts 100-240 VAC input.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Idle consumption measures 28.093 W while maximum typical draw reaches 889.69 W under full PoE and switching load. Three internal fans maintain airflow in a 1U form factor. The switch supports up to 256 active VLANs from a 4096 ID pool and provides link aggregation via IEEE 802.3ad and 802.1AX. Buyers needing Layer 3 routing or larger VLAN counts should evaluate other platforms.
