The FortiSwitch 424E-FPOE is a 24-port Gigabit access switch with full Power over Ethernet on every port and four 10GE SFP+ uplinks, built for wiring closets that power access points, IP phones and cameras. It delivers 24 PoE+ (802.3af/at) ports on a 421 W budget, four 10GE SFP+ fiber uplinks and 128 Gbps of switching capacity, in a 1RU rack-mount chassis with optional redundant AC power. 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. Powering fewer devices? The 424E-POE (250 W) covers lighter loads, and the data-only 424E drops PoE entirely.

Every Fortinet purchase from DataCenter360.ca is backed by hands-on services across the full lifecycle — from rollout to round-the-clock protection.
All 424E models share the same 24-port / 128 Gbps platform with four 10GE SFP+ uplinks. They differ by Power over Ethernet: the data-only 424E has no PoE output, the 424E-POE powers 24 ports at a 250 W budget, and the 424E-FPOE raises the PoE+ budget to 421 W.
The 424E-FPOE is the full-PoE, 24-port member of the 400-series Campus access line. The 248E-FPOE offers 48 PoE+ ports at lower switching capacity, and the 448E-FPOE steps up to 48 PoE+ ports and 176 Gbps. Same FortiSwitchOS and FortiLink management across the range.

10GE SFP+ uplink transceivers and direct-attach cables for the four fiber ports.
Yes — the 424E-FPOE is a current-generation FortiSwitch access switch, actively sold and supported, not on an end-of-order schedule.
All 24 access ports support PoE+ (802.3af/at) on a 421 W power budget, enough to power a closet full of Wi-Fi access points, IP phones and cameras. For lighter loads, the 424E-POE offers a 250 W budget; the data-only 424E has no PoE.
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.
Four 10GE SFP+ ports for fast, non-blocking fiber or DAC links back to the core or a FortiGate, alongside the 24 Gigabit PoE+ access ports.
Yes. Hardware ships free and is usually dispatched the same or next business day from stock. FortiCare is delivered electronically, worldwide. We are an authorized Fortinet Select Partner.
