OVERVIEW

What the FortiSwitch 424E-Fiber is for

The FortiSwitch 424E-Fiber is a 24-port all-fiber access switch built for fiber-to-the-desk deployments and sites where copper runs are impractical - long distances, electrically noisy environments, or buildings that standardized on fiber. It offers 24 GE SFP access ports plus four 10GE SFP+ fiber uplinks and 128 Gbps of switching capacity, in a 1RU rack-mount chassis with optional redundant AC power. With no PoE output, it is a pure high-density fiber aggregation and access switch. 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 copper access ports? Choose the 424E (data only), the 424E-POE (250 W) or the 424E-FPOE (421 W).

FortiSwitch 424E-Fiber variants

Compare the FortiSwitch 424E line

All 424E models share the same 24-port / 128 Gbps platform with four 10GE SFP+ uplinks. They differ by access media and Power over Ethernet: the 424E-Fiber uses 24x GE SFP fiber ports (data only), the 424E uses copper RJ45 (data only), the 424E-POE powers 24 copper ports at a 250 W budget, and the 424E-FPOE raises the PoE+ budget to 421 W.

COMPARE THE LINEUP

How the 424E-Fiber compares to the 424E and 448E

The 424E-Fiber is the all-fiber, data-only member of the 400-series Campus access line. The copper 424E keeps the same 24-port / 128 Gbps platform with RJ45 ports, and the 448E steps up to 48 ports and 176 Gbps. Same FortiSwitchOS and FortiLink management across the range.

FAQ

FortiSwitch 424E-Fiber - frequently asked questions

Yes – the 424E-Fiber is a current-generation FortiSwitch access switch, actively sold and supported, not on an end-of-order schedule.

The 424E-Fiber uses 24x GE SFP fiber access ports instead of copper RJ45, for fiber-to-the-desk, long cable runs and electrically noisy sites. Both are data only with four 10GE SFP+ uplinks and 128 Gbps switching. If you need copper or PoE, choose the 424E, 424E-POE or 424E-FPOE.

No. The 424E-Fiber is a data-only switch with no Power over Ethernet output. To power access points, IP phones or cameras, choose the 424E-POE (250 W) or 424E-FPOE (421 W).

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.
