NETGEAR GS748PP Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) Power over Ethernet (PoE) Grey

Netgear GS748PP is an unmanaged 48-port Gigabit switch designed for rack-mount or desktop deployment in small to medium office networks and edge environments. It provides 48 Gigabit RJ-45 ports (10/100/1000) with 24 PoE+ ports capable of delivering up to 30 W per port and a shared 380 W total power budget. The switch uses a non-blocking switching architecture and supports IEEE 802.1p and IEEE 802.3az standards, offering plug-and-play operation with an 8000-entry MAC address table for basic network segmentation and reliable wire-speed throughput.

Advantages

The GS748PP delivers centralized Power over Ethernet for connected devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras and IP phones while simplifying installation through plug-and-play operation with no configuration required. Dynamic PoE allocation maximizes use of the 380 W power budget, and dynamic fans balance acoustic noise and cooling performance. Energy Efficient Ethernet compliance reduces power consumption during low activity periods, and the non-blocking architecture maintains full throughput under typical traffic loads.

Suitable for

• Small to medium office networks requiring PoE for APs, cameras or phones
• Network edge or wiring closet installations
• Environments needing simple, unmanaged switching with rack or desktop mounting
• Deployments that benefit from energy-efficient hardware and quiet cooling

How to use

Place the switch on a stable surface or install it in a standard 19-inch rack using the supplied mounting hardware. Connect the GS748PP to your network core or router via one of the Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports and attach end devices to the available RJ-45 ports. Power on the unit and verify link/activity LEDs for connected ports. PoE devices receive power automatically from the PoE+ ports without additional configuration. For proper airflow and quieter operation, allow clearance around the dynamic fans and install the unit in a ventilated environment.

Recommendations

Distribute high-power PoE devices across multiple ports to avoid concentrating power draw on adjacent ports and monitor total PoE consumption when connecting many devices. Use Cat5e or better cabling for Gigabit performance and route the switch in a cool, ventilated rack space to maintain fan efficiency and prolong service life.
