60E SERIES

Compare the FortiGate 60E series

Same 60E-series platform and 3 Gbps firewall performance across the line. The variants differ by connectivity — the 60E (this page) is the all-copper base model with dual WAN, the 60E-POE adds eight PoE/+ ports, and the 60E-DSL / 60E-DSLJ add an integrated VDSL2/ADSL2+ DSL modem.

FAQ

FortiGate 60E - frequently asked questions

The FortiGate 60E (FG-60E) has reached end of life — end of order was 2021 and end of support is 2026. You can still renew FortiGuard security services and FortiCare support for an installed unit while it is in its renewal window, and we can quote the current FortiGate 70G as a direct replacement.

The FortiGate 70G is the direct, currently-shipping replacement — a full-generation jump in firewall throughput and threat protection in the same compact desktop class. For more throughput and sessions, step up to the FortiGate 90G.

Yes, while the model is in its renewal window (end of support is 2026). Choose a FortiGuard + FortiCare renewal bundle (Enterprise, UTP or ATP) above, or renew individual FortiGuard services and FortiCare support. Licensing is delivered electronically worldwide.

The 60E delivers 3 Gbps firewall throughput, 400 Mbps IPS, 250 Mbps NGFW, 200 Mbps threat protection and 2 Gbps IPsec VPN, with 1,300,000 concurrent sessions and 30,000 new sessions per second, accelerated by Fortinet’s SoC3 security processor, in a fanless desktop form factor.

The FortiGate 60E and 61E share the same SoC3 platform and 3 Gbps firewall performance. The 61E adds onboard SSD storage for local logging; the 60E has no onboard storage. Port layout is otherwise the same dual-WAN, seven-internal-port copper design.
