The FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE is a compact, fanless desktop next-generation firewall that adds 4x IEEE 802.3at PoE+ ports to the FortiGate 50G-SFP platform. Built on Fortinet’s FortiSP5 ASIC, it delivers 1.1 Gbps threat protection and 5 Gbps firewall throughput in a form factor that can power FortiAPs, VoIP phones, or IP cameras directly — eliminating a separate PoE switch for small deployments.
The WAN side provides both a standard GE RJ45 WAN port and a GE SFP slot, giving you flexibility for copper or fibre ISP handoffs. The PoE-capable WAN2 port can also be used as a secondary WAN for SD-WAN dual-WAN failover. A 54VDC power adapter supplies the higher current needed for the PoE budget alongside full NGFW processing.

Mount the 50G-SFP-PoE on a desk or in a standard 1U rack tray (RM-FR-T21).
The FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE is powered by a 54VDC external adapter with a total system draw of 75.4 W average. The unit has 4x IEEE 802.3at PoE+ ports (WAN2, FortiLink, and 2 internal), with a PoE budget sufficient to power up to 4 FortiAPs or other 802.3af/at devices simultaneously. For exact PoE budget allocation, consult the Fortinet 50G-SFP-PoE QuickStart Guide or your DataCenter360.ca pre-sales team.
Both models share the same FortiSP5 ASIC and deliver identical throughput (1.1 Gbps threat protection, 5 Gbps firewall). The 50G-SFP-PoE adds 4x IEEE 802.3at PoE+ ports and requires a 54VDC power adapter instead of the 12VDC one on the 50G-SFP. The 50G-SFP-PoE does not include a dedicated GE RJ45 FortiLink port; one of the PoE+ ports serves the FortiLink function.
Yes. The GE SFP port can be used as a primary or secondary WAN interface in FortiOS SD-WAN configurations. Pair it with the GE RJ45 WAN1 port for dual-WAN failover or load balancing.
UTP (Unified Threat Protection) is the most popular choice, covering IPS, anti-malware, web/DNS filtering and FortiCare Premium support. 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.
