48-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE Managed Switch with 740W PoE Budget, 4x Expansion Slots, and 1U Rack-Mount Design for SonicWall-Integrated Network Deployments
The SonicWall SWS14-48FPOE (02-SSC-8382) is a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet managed PoE switch built for high-density network deployments that require centralized power delivery and unified management through the SonicWall security ecosystem. The switch provides 740W of PoE budget across all 48 ports with 802.3af/at support, powering access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and other PoE devices from a single 1U rack-mounted chassis without requiring separate power injectors or midspans.
The SWS14-48FPOE integrates directly with SonicWall next-generation firewalls through single-pane-of-glass management, allowing administrators to monitor and configure both firewall and switching infrastructure from one interface. Four GbE expansion slots provide uplink capacity for trunking to core switches or connecting to SonicWall firewalls, while Layer 2 managed features including VLAN segmentation, QoS traffic prioritization, and link aggregation deliver the network control required for enterprise and mid-market switching environments.
Where the SWS14-48FPOE Fits
- Enterprise and mid-market access layer deployments where 48 GbE PoE ports provide high-density connectivity for workstations, IP phones, and wireless access points, the 740W PoE budget eliminates the need for separate power infrastructure, and VLAN segmentation isolates traffic between departments or security zones
- SonicWall-integrated network environments where the SWS14-48FPOE is managed alongside TZ, NSA, and NSa firewalls through single-pane-of-glass management, unified visibility reduces administrative overhead across switching and security infrastructure, and the four GbE expansion slots support direct uplinks to SonicWall firewall appliances
- Surveillance and wireless deployments requiring centralized PoE where 802.3af/at support powers IP cameras and access points at up to 30W per port, the 740W total budget supports full-load deployments across all 48 ports, and QoS prioritization ensures real-time traffic from cameras and voice endpoints receives bandwidth precedence
What the SWS14-48FPOE Delivers
- 48-Port GbE with 740W PoE Budget: 48 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports with 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet support and 740W total PoE budget. Powers access points, cameras, phones, and other PoE devices without external power injectors.
- 4x GbE Expansion Slots: Four additional Gigabit Ethernet expansion slots for uplinks, trunking, or firewall connections. Supports link aggregation for increased bandwidth between the switch and core infrastructure.
- Layer 2 Managed Switching: VLAN segmentation, QoS traffic prioritization, link aggregation, and port management. Integrates with SonicWall firewalls for unified single-pane-of-glass network and security management.
- 1U Rack-Mount Form Factor: Standard 1U rack-mountable chassis (17.3 x 12.2 x 1.7 inches, 10.58 lb) with 120/230V AC input. Designed for server rooms and network closets with standard 19-inch rack infrastructure.
What Is a SonicWall Switch
SonicWall switches are managed Ethernet switches designed to integrate with SonicWall next-generation firewalls through a unified management interface. Unlike standalone managed switches that require separate configuration tools, SonicWall switches like the SWS14-48FPOE are discovered and managed directly from the SonicWall firewall's single-pane-of-glass dashboard alongside access points and other network infrastructure. This integration provides centralized visibility into port status, PoE delivery, VLAN configuration, and traffic statistics without requiring a separate switch management platform, reducing administrative complexity in environments that already deploy SonicWall firewalls as their primary security gateway.
