Product description

Five years of uninterrupted Elite-tier support covers the realistic useful life of a FortiSwitch 148F FPOE for most enterprise deployments. FC-10-148FF-284-02-60 is built for organizations that commit to infrastructure on long horizons: procurement teams operating on 5-year capital plans, facilities where PoE-dependent systems cannot afford support gaps across an extended deployment, and administrators who want to close the FortiCare renewal task entirely until the next hardware refresh cycle.

What it covers

FortiCare Elite delivers 24×7 TAC access, priority escalation to senior Fortinet engineers, firmware and software update entitlement, and advance hardware replacement for the covered FS-148F-FPOE unit. Over the 5-year term, all entitlements remain continuously active without re-registration, ensuring your PoE switch has TAC backing and replacement coverage from day one through the end of month 60. Firmware update rights mean you can keep the switch current on all Fortinet-issued releases across the full contract period.

Who needs it

Government agencies, educational institutions, and enterprises with 5-year hardware depreciation schedules are the most common buyers of the 5-year FortiCare Elite term. If your FortiSwitch 148F FPOE supports PoE-dependent infrastructure tied to safety systems, building automation, or high-density wireless coverage in a location where procurement cycles are infrequent, locking in Elite-tier TAC and advance RMA for the full hardware lifecycle is the lower-risk choice. Organizations that want to minimize support renewal events across a multi-switch environment also benefit from the 5-year term, since fewer contracts expire annually.

Activation & delivery

FC-10-148FF-284-02-60 is an electronic service contract. Fortinet delivers the activation key to your registered email after order confirmation. Apply the key in the FortiCare Support Portal or through the FortiSwitch OS management interface to start the 60-month coverage period. No physical shipment takes place. Worldwide delivery applies; there are no geographic restrictions on electronic Fortinet service contracts. Retain the activation key documentation, as it serves as your proof of coverage for the 5-year term.

One service vs the bundle

FC-10-148FF-284-02-60 provides FortiCare Elite Support only: TAC access, advance hardware replacement, and firmware rights for 5 years. FortiGuard security subscriptions such as threat intelligence feeds, content filtering, or application control are not included. For a 5-year deployment where both support and security subscription coverage are required, Fortinet offers bundle SKUs that combine FortiCare with FortiGuard services. Contact DataCenter360.ca before ordering to confirm whether a bundle or a standalone Elite contract is the better fit for your environment over the full 5-year span.

Frequently asked questions

Is FC-10-148FF-284-02-60 available to buyers outside Canada?
Yes. FortiCare Elite is an electronic service contract with no geographic restriction. DataCenter360.ca fulfills these contracts worldwide.
What does advance hardware replacement include for the FS-148F-FPOE?
Fortinet ships a replacement unit to you before the failed hardware is returned, reducing downtime. Delivery timelines depend on your region and Fortinet’s RMA logistics at the time of the claim.
Does FC-10-148FF-284-02-60 include firmware update rights for the full 5 years?
Yes. Firmware update entitlement is part of FortiCare Elite for the full 60-month term, allowing you to apply all Fortinet-issued FortiSwitch releases during the contract period.
Can a FortiCare Elite contract be transferred if the switch is reassigned?
FortiCare contracts are tied to the hardware serial number. Transfer eligibility is subject to Fortinet’s standard support contract transfer policy. Contact DataCenter360.ca or Fortinet directly for guidance on your specific situation.
What happens if Fortinet announces end-of-support for the FS-148F-FPOE before my 5-year term ends?
FortiCare covers the registered unit for the full contracted term. If Fortinet announces an end-of-support date before your contract expires, Fortinet’s EOL support policy would govern the remaining coverage. DataCenter360.ca can advise on your options if that occurs.
