Fortinet FortiSwitch 448E 48-Port PoE+ Switch

The Fortinet FortiSwitch 448E is a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet access switch with integrated Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) capability, designed as a Security Fabric-integrated component for enterprise branch deployments. It operates as a managed access layer switch, integrating directly with FortiGate firewalls to enforce security policies at the network edge, enabling zero-trust access control and unified threat protection across wired endpoints.

The switch supports dynamic segmentation and VLAN enforcement through FortiGate management, allowing organizations to implement micro-segmentation policies without requiring separate management consoles. All 48 ports deliver PoE+ power delivery, enabling deployment of IP phones, access points, and IoT devices while maintaining centralized security governance through the Fortinet Security Fabric architecture.

Built for mid-sized branch offices and campus access deployments, the FortiSwitch 448E reduces operational complexity by consolidating network switching with integrated security enforcement, eliminating the need for standalone access control appliances at the branch layer.

Ideal for

• SD-Branch deployments with centralized security policy enforcement via FortiGate integration
• Campus access layer connectivity with unified endpoint authentication and segmentation
• Branch office IP telephony and wireless AP consolidation using PoE+ power delivery
• Zero-trust network access control with FortiGate-managed dynamic VLAN assignment
• Secure IoT device onboarding with integrated threat detection and isolation
• Multi-tenant branch environments requiring isolated network segments and policy enforcement
