Data center top-of-rack switch with 24x 10GBASE-T copper RJ45 ports (1/2.5/5/10 GbE) and two 40/100 GE QSFP28 uplinks, delivering 880 Gbps of switching at roughly 1 microsecond latency in a 1RU chassis with dual hot-swappable AC power. Layer 2/3 FortiSwitchOS, FortiGate switch-controller (FortiLink) compatible so server-room switching folds into the Security Fabric - data only, no PoE. Built for low-latency 10G copper server and storage connectivity where structured RJ45 cabling is already in place, with dual redundant power for always-on operation.
The configurations most customers buy: the switch on its own, or with FortiCare support. The complete catalog is further down.

The FortiSwitch T1024E is a data center class switch built for low-latency 10-gigabit aggregation and top-of-rack deployment over copper. It provides 24x 10GBASE-T RJ45 ports (1/2.5/5/10 GbE multi-speed) for server, storage and uplink connectivity on structured cabling, plus two flexible 40/100 GE QSFP28 ports for high-speed aggregation to the core or spine. With 880 Gbps of switching capacity and roughly 1 microsecond latency, it handles east-west traffic and high-density 10G fan-out with headroom. Dual hot-swappable AC power supplies keep it running through a power event, and Layer 2/3 FortiSwitchOS handles segmentation and routing. As a FortiGate switch-controller compatible switch, it is managed over FortiLink and joins the Security Fabric - one console for switching and security, no separate controller. Need SFP+ fiber instead of copper? The FortiSwitch 1024E offers the same platform with 24 SFP/SFP+ ports.

Download the full datasheetThe 1024 data center switches share an 880 Gbps platform with two 100 GE QSFP28 uplinks and dual redundant power. They differ by access media and PoE: the T1024E uses 10GBASE-T copper, the 1024E uses SFP+ fiber, and the T1024F-FPOE adds 802.3bt PoE on copper.
The T1024E is the 24-port 10G copper member of the FortiSwitch data center line. Choose the 1024E for SFP+ fiber, or the T1024F-FPOE to add 802.3bt PoE on the same copper platform. Same FortiSwitchOS and FortiLink management across the range.
