The Dell PowerConnect™ 2848 switch offers incredible value to customers by delivering Web-managed capabilities that allow users to manage the switch through an intuitive Web interface.

This 48-port version is scalable from small workgroups to highly dense aggregation solutions at the branch office requiring Gigabit Ethernet. In addition, this 48-port model has combo SFP ports for connecting the switch to other networking equipment located beyond the 100m distance limitations for copper cabling. The 48-port switch also saves power by reducing power consumption up to 73 percent on copper ports with short cables, and has energy efficient capabilities thatautomatically decrease power on any ports that detect unused or powered down devices saving both energy and money.
