Crestron CEN-SWPOE-48-TAA – 48-Port PoE+ Managed Switch, TAA Compliant

Product Overview

The Crestron CEN-SWPOE-48-TAA is a TAA-compliant, 48-port managed PoE+ network switch designed for commercial AV-over-IP installations with government procurement requirements. It delivers up to 30 W per port across 40 Ethernet ports and provides eight 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports for fiber backbone connectivity. With a 240 Gbps non-blocking switching fabric and integrated DM NVX and DM NAX AV-over-IP profiles, the CEN-SWPOE-48-TAA is purpose-built for Crestron AV-over-IP networks in environments where TAA compliance is mandatory.

Product Description

The CEN-SWPOE-48-TAA is the TAA-compliant variant of the CEN-SWPOE-48, sharing the same hardware specifications while meeting Trade Agreements Act requirements for use in federal, state, and government-funded AV projects. It delivers IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) power on 40 of its 48 Ethernet ports, with a maximum of 30 W per port and 960 W combined output. Eight 10 Gigabit Base-X SFP+ ports accept multimode or single-mode fiber transceiver modules for uplink connectivity.

For standard commercial AV deployments where PoE+ is sufficient — including DM NVX endpoints, touch panels, occupancy sensors, and network cameras drawing under 30 W — the CEN-SWPOE-48-TAA provides a cost-effective and compliance-ready managed switch solution in a 1U rackmount chassis. The 240 Gbps non-blocking switching fabric ensures full bandwidth across all ports without congestion in high-density multicast AV environments.

The browser-based management interface provides simplified DM NVX and DM NAX AV profile configuration, while full IT management is available via CLI, SSH, SNMP, RADIUS, and TACACS+. The switch includes IGMP snooping, IEEE 1588 PTPv2, VLANs, QoS, Layer 3 routing, DHCP server, 802.1X, DHCP snooping, and dynamic ARP inspection. The metal chassis is fan-cooled and ships with reversible rack ears.

Key Features

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the CEN-SWPOE-48-TAA identical to the CEN-SWPOE-48?

Yes. The hardware specifications and feature set are the same. The TAA suffix indicates Trade Agreements Act compliance for government procurement eligibility.

What is the maximum PoE power per port?

This switch delivers up to 30 W per port (IEEE 802.3at PoE+). If endpoints requiring more than 30 W are in scope, consider the CEN-SWPOE-48-ULTRA which supports PoE++ at up to 90 W per port.

Do all 48 ports provide PoE+?

No. Forty of the 48 ports provide PoE+. The remaining eight ports are 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks and do not supply PoE power.

What SFP+ transceivers are compatible?

The SFP+ ports support 10 Gigabit Base-X modules in both multimode and single-mode fiber (e.g., SFP-10G-SR). Transceivers are sold separately.

How does the AV profile feature work?

Selecting the DM NVX or DM NAX profile in the switch's web interface automatically applies the multicast routing and IGMP configuration those systems require, replacing manual configuration of each setting.
