The PowerConnect B-FCX648-I switch has forty four 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports plus four Combo 1 Gbps ports. The device has two management interfaces on the front panel, a serial port (Console) and an RJ45 port (Out-of-band Management Interface). The front panel has a slot for an optional four-port 1GbE SFP module, (works as Combo port) or four-port 10 Gbps SFP+ module. On the rear panel a removable fan tray provides a cooling airflow from the back to the front (BtF) of the device. Two rear-panel power supply receptacles accommodate up to two power supply units that also support a back-to-front cooling airflow.
