The TP-Link TL-SF1048 is a 48-port 10/100 Mbps unmanaged rackmount switch. It delivers 9.6 Gbps switching capacity and a 7.14 Mpps forwarding rate with an 8K MAC address table, runs from an internal 100-240 VAC supply in a fanless 440 x 180 x 44 mm case, and includes a rackmount kit and rubber feet.

TL-SF1048 overview

The TL-SF1048 is the largest switch in TP-Link's 10/100 Mbps unmanaged rackmount range, with 48 RJ45 ports in a single 440 x 180 x 44 mm (17.3 x 7.1 x 1.7 in) case. Every port supports auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX. TP-Link says the auto features make installation plug and play and hassle-free with no configuring required: auto-MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cables, and auto-negotiation on each port senses the link speed of the connected device, 10 or 100 Mbps, and adjusts for compatibility and performance. The AU product page shows hardware version 7, and the official gallery images are of the version 7.0 unit.

With 48 ports, the TL-SF1048 has the highest published performance of the Fast Ethernet rackmount models: 9.6 Gbps switching capacity and a 7.14 Mpps packet forwarding rate, with an 8K MAC address table and store-and-forward transmission. IEEE 802.3x flow control is listed among the advanced features alongside TP-Link Green Technology, and the standards listed are IEEE 802.3i, 802.3u and 802.3x. Cabling requirements are UTP category 3, 4 or 5 for 10BASE-T and UTP category 5, 5e or above for 100BASE-TX, each up to 100 m.

Power comes from an internal supply rated 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, so a standard power cord is all that is needed. Because it carries twice as many ports as the TL-SF1024, the TL-SF1048 draws more: maximum power consumption is 9.9 W (220 V/50 Hz), with maximum heat dissipation of 33.78 BTU/h. TP-Link quotes Green Technology power savings of up to 50% for this model. It is fanless, so there is no fan noise in the cabinet, and TP-Link does not list a physical security lock on the TL-SF1048, unlike the TL-SF1016 and TL-SF1024.

TP-Link lists the TL-SF1048 as rack mountable, and the box contains the switch, power cord, installation guide, rackmount kit and rubber feet. The rated operating temperature is 0 to 40 degrees C, with storage from -40 to 70 degrees C, operating humidity of 10 to 90% and storage humidity of 5 to 90%, non-condensing. Certifications listed are FCC, CE and RoHS. System compatibility is listed as Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8, Mac OS, NetWare, UNIX and Linux.

For a smaller site, the TL-SF1024 provides 24 ports and 4.8 Gbps in the same chassis, and the TL-SF1016 provides 16 ports and 3.2 Gbps. The TL-SF1048 makes sense where a patch panel serves many 100 Mbps devices, such as desk phones, printers and older workstations, and a single unmanaged switch is preferred over stacking several smaller ones.

TL-SF1048 compared

The TL-SF1048 is the 48-port top of TP-Link's 10/100 Mbps unmanaged range. It shares the 440 mm rack chassis and internal supply of the TL-SF1016 and TL-SF1024 but doubles the ports and switching capacity of the 24-port model.
