OVERVIEW

What the FortiGate 50G-SFP is for

The FortiGate 50G-SFP is a compact desktop next-generation firewall that adds a Gigabit SFP fiber slot to the standard 50G chassis, so a branch or small office can take a fiber WAN handoff or fiber uplink without a separate media converter. Built on Fortinet's SP5 secure SD-WAN ASIC, it delivers 1.1 Gbps of threat protection, 5 Gbps firewall throughput, 720,000 concurrent sessions, and 1.3 Gbps of SSL inspection, while keeping five copper GE RJ45 ports for LAN. It runs FortiOS with built-in SD-WAN and ZTNA enforcement, and fits sites that connect to a fiber ONT, a fiber-fed switch, or a longer-distance fiber backbone link. The SFP slot accepts standard 1 Gbps transceivers (sold separately).

FortiGate 50G-SFP variants

Compare the FortiGate 50G line

All 50G-series models share the same SP5 platform and performance. They differ by WAN connectivity: Ethernet, SFP fiber, 5G cellular, or VDSL/ADSL. FortiWiFi models add an integrated Wi-Fi 6 access point; 51G variants add onboard SSD storage.

COMPARE THE LINEUP

How the 50G-SFP compares to the 30G and 70G

The 50G-SFP sits in the middle of the desktop G-series. Step down to the 30G for the smallest sites, or up to the 70G for higher throughput and session capacity. Same FortiOS and FortiGuard services across the range.

FAQ

FortiGate 50G-SFP - frequently asked questions

The 50G-SFP is a current-generation ‘G’ series FortiGate built on the SP5 secure SD-WAN ASIC, fully supported with active FortiGuard and FortiCare subscriptions. It is the SFP fiber variant of the 50G desktop line.

It is a 1 Gigabit SFP slot for a fiber WAN uplink or handoff, connecting to a fiber ONT, a fiber-fed Ethernet switch, or a longer-distance fiber backbone link. The five copper GE RJ45 ports remain available for LAN.

No. The SFP transceiver is sold separately so you can match it to your fiber run, typically an SX module for short-range multimode or an LX module for long-distance single-mode fiber.

The 50G-SFP adds the Gigabit SFP fiber slot; the base 50G connects over copper Ethernet only. Security performance is identical: 1.1 Gbps threat protection, 5 Gbps firewall, 720,000 sessions, 1.3 Gbps SSL inspection.

In-stock units ship from Canada with free shipping, usually delivered in 0-1 business days. FortiGuard and FortiCare licensing is delivered electronically worldwide.
