24-port Gigabit access switch with PoE+ on every port (250 W budget) and four 10GE SFP+ uplinks, in a 1RU rack-mount chassis. FortiLink-managed by any FortiGate so wired access, wireless and security share one console. A right-sized choice for campus wiring closets powering APs, IP phones and cameras at moderate density, with optional redundant AC and a limited lifetime warranty.

The FortiSwitch 424E-POE is a 24-port Gigabit access switch with PoE+ on every port and four 10GE SFP+ uplinks, built for wiring closets that need to power access points, IP phones and cameras at moderate density. It delivers 24 PoE+ (802.3af/at) ports on a 250 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 integrates wired access into the Security Fabric — one console for switching, Wi-Fi and security, with no separate controller. It also runs standalone. Need more PoE headroom? The 424E-FPOE raises the budget to 421 W; 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 all 24 ports at a 250 W budget, and the 424E-FPOE raises that budget to 421 W.
The 424E-POE is the mid-range PoE member of the 400-series Campus access line. The 248E-POE covers 48 ports at lower switching capacity, and the 448E-POE steps up to 48 ports and 176 Gbps. Same FortiSwitchOS and FortiLink management across the range.
