What ports does the Dell PowerConnect 5548P have?

It includes 48x 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE, 2x10GbE SFP+ uplinks for fiber, 2x10Gbps HDMI stacking ports, RJ45 serial console, and USB port. All Ethernet ports auto-sense speed/duplex with PoE up to 15.4W per port using optional MPS-600.

What is the switching performance?

Switching fabric capacity is 176 Gbps with 100.2 Mpps forwarding rate. Supports up to 16,000 MAC addresses, 4,000 VLANs, jumbo frames to 10KB, and 64 static routes. Ensures wire-speed non-blocking performance for enterprise traffic.

Does it support stacking?

Yes, up to 8 switches can be stacked using 2x10Gbps HDMI ports with 40 Gbps high-availability architecture. Stacked units are managed via single IP address, simplifying deployment and scaling for SMB networks.

What PoE capabilities are available?

Provides up to 15.4W IEEE 802.3af PoE per port on all 48 ports with optional external MPS-600 power supply. Also supports external redundancy via RPS-720 or MPS-600, ideal for powering APs, IP phones, and cameras.

How is the switch managed?

Via web-based GUI, industry-standard CLI over Telnet/serial, SNMPv1/v2c/v3, RMON groups, syslog, TFTP for firmware/config, and USB auto-configuration. Includes dual firmware images, port profiles, and auditing for reliable operations.

What are the physical dimensions and form factor?

1U rack-mountable metal chassis, dimensions 440 x 381 x 43.2 mm (17.32 x 15 x 1.7 inches), weight 6.1 kg (13.45 lb). Rack-mounting kit included, with internal single PSU and optional redundant external supplies.
