The FortiGate 40F (FG-40F) has been one of the most deployed compact branch firewalls in the Fortinet lineup. Five GE RJ45 ports, 5 Gbps firewall throughput, and 1 Gbps IPS make it capable well beyond the typical SMB internet connection. It runs the same FortiOS operating system as Fortinet’s largest datacenter appliances, and it integrates directly into the Fortinet Security Fabric for centralized management across sites.

The 40F targets branch offices and SMBs with up to 50 users and internet connections up to 600 Mbps under full threat inspection. Four LAN ports give you enough to segment networks — a dedicated port for VoIP, one for servers, one for user workstations, and one for IoT or guest devices — without adding a switch. The built-in SD-WAN lets you use two ISPs simultaneously for load balancing and failover without extra licensing.
SSL inspection throughput of 310 Mbps is the realistic constraint for encrypted traffic; if your connection delivers more than 300 Mbps of HTTPS and you need full inspection, the 60F is the next step.
This listing is the appliance without any subscription. A FortiCare support contract and at least one FortiGuard service are required to receive firmware updates, threat intelligence feeds, and Fortinet warranty support. For most deployments, the 1-Year UTP (FC-10-0040F-950-02-12) covers the core services; the Enterprise tier adds AI-based inline malware prevention and sandbox analysis. Both are available separately on DataCenter360.ca.
Small and medium businesses running between 25 and 75 users are the core buyers. The 40F is also the standard unit for MSPs building managed branch security stacks — the combination of five ports, SD-WAN, and full FortiOS makes it easy to template and deploy consistently. It supports HA clustering, so a second unit can be added later when uptime requirements increase.
When throughput requirements or port count outgrow the 40F, the FortiGate 60F (FG-60F) is the direct next step. It delivers higher SSL inspection throughput, additional LAN ports, and greater concurrent session capacity. Both models run the same FortiOS, so policy migration is clean and fast.
DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner shipping FG-40F units from Canadian inventory. Orders placed before our daily cutoff ship the same business day — free to all provinces. Every unit arrives factory-sealed with full Fortinet Canada warranty. Our FCP-certified team is available to help size the right license bundle or plan a multi-site rollout before you order.
No. This listing is hardware only. A FortiCare support subscription and at least one FortiGuard service are required for threat intelligence and warranty coverage. License options for the FortiGate 40F are available separately on DataCenter360.ca.
The FG-40F is designed for up to 50 concurrent users in typical branch office environments. With 700,000 concurrent sessions and 35,000 new sessions per second, it handles moderate SMB workloads comfortably. For larger environments exceeding 75 users, the FortiGate 60F offers higher session capacity and throughput.
Yes. The FG-40F supports Active-Active, Active-Passive, and Clustering HA configurations. For HA deployments, purchase the FG-40F-HA variant, which is intended for use as the secondary unit in a pair and is covered under a single shared service contract.
The FG-40F delivers 310 Mbps of SSL inspection throughput. If your ISP connection exceeds 300 Mbps and you require full HTTPS inspection on all traffic, consider the FortiGate 60F, which provides higher SSL inspection capacity.
Yes. DataCenter360.ca stocks the FG-40F in Canada and ships free to all provinces in 0–1 business days. This listing is for Canadian customers only.
