How to evaluate this exact configuration
Access connections
Access connections for FS-148F: 48 x GE RJ45. List the endpoints, required link speeds and spare connections before choosing the switch count. Do not count an uplink socket as another equivalent copper endpoint port.
Uplink arrangement
Uplink arrangement for FS-148F: 4 x 10GE SFP+. Match the upstream port format, cable or transceiver, link speed and intended redundancy. Retain every qualification in the stated uplink arrangement when preparing the bill of materials.
Powered endpoints
FS-148F is recorded as non-PoE. If access points, phones or cameras need power from the switch, choose a documented PoE variant or plan another power method; the access-port count alone does not establish that capability.
