What are the physical dimensions and weight of the Dell C1048P?

The C1048P measures 1.7 inches (4.35 cm) height, 17.32 inches (44 cm) width, 15.23 inches (38.7 cm) depth. Chassis weighs 15 lbs (6.8 kg) factory-installed, up to 44.31 lbs (20.1 kg) fully loaded, enabling easy 1RU deployment in standard 19-inch racks for campus access.

What power capabilities does the C1048P provide for PoE?

Maximum power consumption reaches 1738W at 110V or 1694W at 220V with MPS1000 external PSU bank. Steady-state current is 15.8A at 110V or 7.7A at 220V, supporting high PoE budgets for powering numerous access points, cameras, and endpoints simultaneously.

What environmental tolerances does the C1048P support?

Operating range is 32°F to 113°F (0°C to 45°C) at 95% non-condensing humidity. Storage handles -40°F to 149°F (-40°C to 65°C) at 85% humidity, ensuring deployment flexibility in non-data center campus environments like offices or classrooms.

How does the C1048P fit into campus networking?

As a stackable Gigabit Ethernet port extender, it connects to core switches for access layer expansion, providing high-density Gigabit ports with PoE. Stacking simplifies management and scales capacity without multiple management interfaces.

What input power specs are required for the C1048P?

Nominal input is 100-240 VAC 50/60 Hz. Max current per AC PSU is 8.9A at 100V, 3.55A at 240V; with external PSU bank, it draws up to 15.8A at 110V, accommodating global deployments with thermal output up to 1017 BTU/hr.

Is the C1048P suitable for high-density access deployments?

Yes, its 1RU stackable design and PoE support up to 1738W enable dense endpoint connectivity for Wi-Fi, VoIP, and surveillance, reducing cabling needs and rack space in enterprise campus wiring closets.

Product overview

The Dell Networking C1048P is a stackable 1RU Gigabit Ethernet port extender designed specifically for campus access deployments in enterprise environments. It extends port connectivity with high density, supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 1738W maximum when paired with an MPS1000 external power supply bank, enabling efficient powering of access points, IP phones, and cameras without additional cabling. Physical dimensions of 1.7 x 17.32 x 15.23 inches and weight up to 44.31 lbs fully loaded ensure 19-inch rack compatibility. Operating temperature range from 32°F to 113°F (0°C to 45°C) with 95% non-condensing humidity supports reliable performance in varied campus conditions. Power specifications include 100-240 VAC input at 50/60 Hz, with max current draw of 15.8A at 110V using external PSU for steady-state operation. Storage endures -40°F to 149°F (-40°C to 65°C). Ideal for expanding access layer capacity in education, healthcare, and corporate campuses, it reduces cabling complexity, lowers TCO through stacking, and provides non-blocking Gigabit throughput for high-bandwidth user endpoints.
