The FortiGate 50G-SFP is a compact, fanless desktop next-generation firewall built on Fortinet’s FortiSP5 ASIC. It is identical to the FortiGate 50G in performance, adding a GE SFP port as a dedicated fibre WAN or secondary WAN interface alongside the standard GE RJ45 WAN port. This makes it the right choice when your ISP delivers an SFP handoff (such as GPON ONT or metro Ethernet) or when you want an SFP uplink for SD-WAN dual-WAN failover.
The appliance delivers 1.1 Gbps of threat protection, 5 Gbps firewall throughput, and 720,000 concurrent sessions. Secure SD-WAN and Universal ZTNA are built into FortiOS. The FortiLink GE RJ45 port lets you consolidate up to 8 FortiSwitches and 16 FortiAPs into a single management plane.

Every Fortinet purchase from DataCenter360.ca is backed by hands-on services across the full lifecycle — from rollout to round-the-clock protection.
All 50G-series models share the same FortiSP5 platform and performance. The 50G-SFP adds a GE SFP WAN port to the standard five GE RJ45 ports, ideal for fibre ISP handoffs or SFP-based dual-WAN configurations.

Mount the 50G-SFP on a desk or in a standard 1U rack tray (RM-FR-T21).
Yes. The FortiGate 50G-SFP is a current-generation G-series model built on Fortinet’s FortiSP5 ASIC. It is not end-of-life and is fully supported with active FortiGuard and FortiCare subscriptions.
Performance is identical on both models. The FG-50G has five GE RJ45 ports (WAN, 3x internal, FortiLink). The FG-50G-SFP adds a GE SFP port alongside the RJ45 WAN port, which is useful when your ISP delivers an SFP handoff (fibre, GPON, or metro Ethernet) or when you want an SFP-based secondary WAN for SD-WAN dual-WAN failover.
Yes. FortiOS SD-WAN supports both WAN interfaces simultaneously for load balancing and failover. You can configure the GE SFP as primary (fibre) and the GE RJ45 WAN as backup, or use both in an active-active load-sharing policy.
UTP (Unified Threat Protection) is the most popular choice — it adds web, DNS, and video filtering on top of IPS and anti-malware. ATP covers the core threat stack only. Enterprise adds DLP, AI inline malware prevention, and the full SASE service set.
Yes. In-stock units ship from Canada with free shipping, typically delivered in 0–1 business days. Licensing and subscriptions are delivered electronically and available worldwide.
