What is the PoE power budget and port capabilities of SWS14-48FPOE?

The SonicWall SWS14-48FPOE features 48x 1GbE RJ45 PoE+ ports compliant with IEEE 802.3at/af, delivering up to 30W per port from a 900W fixed internal PSU. Total budget supports ~740W at full load, ideal for powering 48x 15W APs or mixed camera/phone setups without external injectors.

What switching performance does the SWS14-48FPOE provide?

It offers 176Gbps non-blocking switching capacity with 512MB DRAM, 128MB flash, 2MB packet buffers, and 32K MAC address table. Layer 2/3 features include VLANs (4K), QoS (8 queues), ACLs, and IGMP snooping for efficient traffic management in access/aggregation roles.

Is the SWS14-48FPOE suitable for high-density PoE deployments?

Yes, with 48 PoE+ ports and 900W budget in 1U form, it excels in surveillance, Wi-Fi, and VoIP where density matters. Triple fans ensure cooling under full PoE load, and managed features like PoE scheduling optimize power usage.

What management and stacking options are available?

Supports standard CLI/web/SNMP management with stacking up to 8 units for simplified operations. Firmware upgrades via 128MB flash enable L2/L3 protocols like OSPF, BGP-lite, and security ACLs for enterprise-scale control.

How does it compare to competitors in access layer PoE?

SWS14-48FPOE stands out with integrated 900W PSU (no external needed), 176Gbps throughput at 1GbE density, and SonicWall ecosystem integration for firewall offload. Lower latency than software-defined alternatives for real-time apps.

What power input and redundancy does it support?

Single fixed 900W PSU accepts 100-240VAC 50-60Hz universal input. No redundant PSU option listed, but triple fans provide airflow redundancy; deploy in pairs for N+1 power resilience in critical access networks.
