FortiSwitch-548B is a SFP+ 10-Gigabit Ethernet backbone switch designed for adaptability and
scalability. The Switch provides a management platform and uplink to backbone. Alternatively, the Switch
can utilize up to 48 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports to function as a central distribution hub for other switches,
switch groups, or routers. The built-in 1000/100/10 Ethernet port is for out of service. The
FortiSwitch-548B power system provides two power supplies. The FortiSwitch-548B SFP+ port also
provides 1-Gigabit speed by manual settings.
