The FortiSwitch 524D-FPOE is a 24-port Gigabit Ethernet access switch with full Power over Ethernet on every port and high-speed fiber uplinks, built for wiring closets that power wireless access points, IP phones and cameras. It delivers 24 PoE+ (802.3af/at) ports on a 370 W budget (740 W with a second power supply), four 10GE SFP+ and two 40GE QSFP+ uplinks, and 288 Gbps of switching capacity in a 1RU chassis. Managed over FortiLink from any FortiGate, it folds wired access into the Security Fabric — one console for switching, Wi-Fi and security, with no separate controller. It also runs standalone. Need data-only? The 524D drops PoE; for higher density, the 48-port 548D-FPOE offers full PoE+ at greater capacity.

Every Fortinet purchase from DataCenter360.ca is backed by hands-on services across the full lifecycle — from rollout to round-the-clock protection.
The 524D-FPOE and 524D share the same 24-port / 288 Gbps platform with 10GE SFP+ and 40GE QSFP+ uplinks — they differ by Power over Ethernet: the 524D-FPOE powers 24 ports at up to 740 W, the data-only 524D has no PoE. For higher density, the 48-port 548D-FPOE covers the same role at greater capacity.
The 524D-FPOE is the 24-port full-PoE member of the 500-series Campus line. The data-only 524D drops PoE, and the 48-port 548D / 548D-FPOE scale up for larger closets. Same FortiSwitchOS and FortiLink management across the range.

10GE SFP+ and 40GE QSFP+ uplink transceivers and direct-attach cables for the fiber ports.
All 24 access ports support PoE+ (802.3af/at) on a 370 W budget with a single power supply, or 740 W with a second power supply — enough for a closet of Wi-Fi access points, IP phones and cameras. The data-only 524D has no PoE.
Four 10GE SFP+ ports plus two 40GE QSFP+ ports for high-bandwidth fiber or DAC links back to the core or a FortiGate, alongside the 24 Gigabit PoE+ access ports.
Over FortiLink from any FortiGate firewall, so switching, Wi-Fi and security are managed in one console with no separate controller. It can also run standalone.
Both share the same 24-port / 288 Gbps platform with 10GE SFP+ and 40GE QSFP+ uplinks. The 524D-FPOE powers all 24 ports with PoE+ (up to 740 W); the data-only 524D has no PoE output.
