It provides up to 90 W per port across 40 PoE++ Ethernet ports and includes eight 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports for fiber backbone connectivity. With built-in AV-over-IP profiles and full Layer 2\/Layer 3 management, this switch gives AV integrators and IT managers a single platform for network infrastructure and AV signal distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CEN-SWPOE-48-ULTRA delivers PoE++ (802.3bt Type 4) power on 40 of its 48 Ethernet ports, supporting power-hungry AV endpoints such as 4K displays, digital signage players, wireless access points, and Crestron DM NVX devices from a single managed switch. Each PoE++ port delivers up to 90 W, with a combined maximum output of 2,880 W across all powered ports. Eight 10 Gigabit Base-X SFP+ ports accept multimode or single-mode fiber transceiver modules for uplink to a core network switch or fiber backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ULTRA designation indicates support for PoE++ (802.3bt Type 4), distinguishing this model from the standard CEN-SWPOE-48 which supports PoE+ (802.3at) only. This makes the CEN-SWPOE-48-ULTRA the appropriate choice when deploying endpoints that draw more than 30 W per port, such as certain pan-tilt-zoom cameras, multi-radio wireless access points, or high-power digital signage displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDM NVX and DM NAX profile selection automatically configures multicast management on the switch for Crestron AV-over-IP systems. The streamlined browser interface allows integrators to configure ports or assign AV profiles quickly, while the full CLI, SSH, SNMP, RADIUS, and TACACS+ management options satisfy IT department requirements. IGMP snooping, IEEE 1588 PTPv2, VLAN support, QoS, 802.1X, and DHCP snooping are all included. The 1U metal chassis mounts in standard 19-inch racks with reversible rack ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e40-Port PoE++ (802.3bt Type 4)\u003c\/strong\u003e — Delivers up to 90 W per port with a combined maximum output of 2,880 W across all PoE++ ports.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8x 10 Gigabit SFP+ Uplinks\u003c\/strong\u003e — Fiber uplink ports supporting multimode and single-mode transceivers for backbone connectivity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoE++ vs. PoE+ Upgrade\u003c\/strong\u003e — Supports up to 3x the per-port power of standard PoE+ (802.3at), enabling high-draw AV and networking devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDM NVX \u0026amp; DM NAX AV Profiles\u003c\/strong\u003e — Single-step profile selection configures multicast routing for Crestron AV-over-IP and Audio-over-IP deployments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLayer 2 \u0026amp; Layer 3 Management\u003c\/strong\u003e — Full routing, VLANs, IGMP snooping, PTP, QoS, static and dynamic routing, and DHCP server.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAV-Optimized IGMP\u003c\/strong\u003e — Automated IGMP between switches with IGMPv3 and MLDv2 snooping for efficient multicast video distribution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnterprise Security\u003c\/strong\u003e — 802.1X, DHCP snooping, dynamic ARP inspection, IP source guard, RADIUS, and TACACS+.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 16K MAC Addresses\u003c\/strong\u003e — Supports large-scale endpoint deployments across complex AV network topologies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1U Rackmount Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e — Metal, fan-cooled construction with reversible rack ears for flexible installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge conference room and boardroom DM NVX AV-over-IP networks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditorium and all-hands room AV distribution with high-draw endpoints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial multi-purpose room AV infrastructure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room AV-over-IP deployments with mixed endpoint power requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship production networks with PTZ cameras and wireless APs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorporate campus AV distribution requiring high per-port PoE budgets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEthernet Ports\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e(40) 10\/100\/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet w\/PoE++; (8) 10 Gigabit Base-X SFP+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePoE Standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, 802.3bt (Type 4)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePoE Power per Port\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 90 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCombined PoE Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 2,880 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMAC Addresses\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 16K\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManagement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHTTPS Web GUI, CLI, SSH, Telnet, SNMP, RADIUS, TACACS+; IPv4\/IPv6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulticast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIGMPv3, MLDv2 snooping; automated IGMP between switches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1U 19-inch rackmount or freestanding; reversible rack ears\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTemperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32° to 113°F (0° to 45°C) operating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the CEN-SWPOE-48-ULTRA and the CEN-SWPOE-48?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe ULTRA model supports PoE++ (802.3bt Type 4) delivering up to 90 W per port.
