High-power data center and campus-core PoE switch with 24x 10GBASE-T copper RJ45 ports (1/2.5/5/10 GbE) delivering full 802.3bt Type 4 PoE on every port up to a 1,440 W budget, plus two 40/100 GE QSFP28 uplinks and 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 switching folds into the Security Fabric. Built to power high-density 90 W endpoints — Wi-Fi 6E/7 APs, PTZ cameras, thin clients — over 10G copper with dual redundant power for always-on operation.

The FortiSwitch T1024F-FPOE is a high-power data center and campus-core switch that combines 10-gigabit copper with full 802.3bt PoE. It provides 24x 10GBASE-T RJ45 ports (1/2.5/5/10 GbE multi-speed), every port capable of 802.3bt Type 4 PoE up to a 1,440 W system budget, plus two flexible 40/100 GE QSFP28 uplinks for aggregation to the core or spine. With 880 Gbps of switching capacity and roughly 1 microsecond latency, it powers and switches high-density endpoints — Wi-Fi 6E/7 access points, PTZ cameras, multi-gig thin clients — without separate injectors. 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. Need the same copper platform without PoE? The FortiSwitch T1024E delivers 24x 10GBASE-T data-only ports.

Every Fortinet purchase from DataCenter360.ca is backed by hands-on services across the full lifecycle — from rollout to round-the-clock protection.
The 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 T1024F-FPOE adds 802.3bt PoE on copper, the T1024E uses the same copper platform data-only, and the 1024E uses SFP+ fiber.
The T1024F-FPOE is the 24-port 10G copper PoE member of the FortiSwitch data center line. Choose the T1024E for the same copper platform without PoE, the 1024E for SFP+ fiber, or the 2048F for higher 48-port density. Same FortiSwitchOS and FortiLink management across the range.

100 GbE QSFP28 uplink transceivers and 40 GbE QSFP+ optics for the uplink ports.
Yes — the T1024F-FPOE is a current FortiSwitch series switch, actively sold and supported, not on an end-of-order schedule.
All 24 RJ45 ports support 802.3bt Type 4 PoE, drawing from a 1,440 W system power budget — enough to power high-density 90 W endpoints such as Wi-Fi 6E/7 access points, PTZ cameras and multi-gig thin clients directly over 10G copper. If you do not need PoE, the data-only FortiSwitch T1024E shares the same copper platform.
24x 10GBASE-T RJ45 copper ports (1/2.5/5/10 GbE multi-speed) with full 802.3bt PoE, plus two flexible 40/100 GE QSFP28 uplinks for high-speed aggregation. Switching capacity is 880 Gbps at roughly 1 microsecond latency.
Yes. The T1024F-FPOE ships with dual hot-swappable AC power supplies, so the switch and its PoE loads keep running through a power-supply failure. Maximum draw is 1,660 W to sustain the full 1,440 W PoE budget.
Both use 24x 10GBASE-T copper RJ45 ports, two 100 GE QSFP28 uplinks and 880 Gbps of switching. The T1024F-FPOE adds full 802.3bt Type 4 PoE (1,440 W budget) on every port; the T1024E is data-only with no PoE.
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.
