Running a gigabit internet connection with full HTTPS inspection active takes hardware that can keep up. The FortiGate 50G (FG-50G) delivers 1.3 Gbps of SSL inspection throughput on a five-port desktop chassis, enough to inspect every encrypted session on a 1 Gbps link without disabling inspection to maintain speed. Paired with 2.25 Gbps IPS throughput and FortiOS’s integrated SD-WAN and ZTNA enforcement, it covers both security and WAN flexibility for branch offices and distributed sites.

The most practical advantage over earlier F-series hardware is SSL inspection capacity. Encrypted HTTPS traffic now accounts for nearly all web, SaaS, and cloud application traffic. The FG-40F managed 310 Mbps of SSL inspection; the FG-50G manages 1.3 Gbps, a four-fold increase at the same desktop footprint. For sites running a 500 Mbps to 1 Gbps internet connection, this removes the trade-off between inspection coverage and connection speed. IPS throughput of 2.25 Gbps and 85,000 new sessions per second also support dense environments with video conferencing, IoT devices, or heavy cloud storage traffic without congestion. The fanless design adds a practical bonus: silent operation makes it suitable for open offices and small server rooms where fan noise is a concern.
This SKU covers the appliance only. A FortiCare subscription is required for firmware updates, technical support, and hardware warranty coverage. FortiGuard services provide the live threat intelligence and detection engines. The 1-year UTP subscription (FC-10-GT50G-950-02-12) activates the core FortiGuard stack: IPS, anti-malware, URL and DNS filtering, and application control. The 1-year Enterprise subscription (FC-10-GT50G-809-02-12) adds AI-based inline malware prevention, DLP, and attack surface security on top. FortiCare Premium (FC-10-GT50G-247-02-12) covers hardware RMA and priority technical support. All are available separately on DataCenter360.ca.
The FG-50G is a natural fit for branch offices with ISP connections between 500 Mbps and 1 Gbps that need full inspection without sacrificing throughput. It also suits small to midsize organizations upgrading from a FG-40F or an older E-series unit that have outgrown limited SSL inspection capacity. The five-port RJ45 layout keeps cabling straightforward for small networks, and native FortiLink management covers up to 8 FortiSwitch units and 16 FortiAP access points directly from the FortiGate interface.
The FortiGate 51G (FG-51G) shares the same performance specifications as the FG-50G but adds 64 GB of onboard SSD storage. That storage supports local log retention at the branch, removing the dependency on a FortiAnalyzer or FortiCloud subscription for compliance logging. If your deployment requires on-premises log storage for regulatory or forensic purposes, the FG-51G is the recommended step within the same series at the same footprint.
DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner stocking the FG-50G in Canada. Every unit ships factory-sealed with full Fortinet Canada warranty coverage, free to any province in 0 to 1 business days. Our FCP-certified team can help you select the right subscription tier and compare the 50G against the 51G or 70G based on your throughput, logging, and budget requirements.
The FG-50G is part of Fortinet’s newer G-series and outperforms the F-series FG-40F across every inspection metric. IPS throughput increases from 1 Gbps to 2.25 Gbps. SSL inspection throughput increases from 310 Mbps to 1.3 Gbps, which is the most meaningful practical difference for sites with high-speed internet connections. New sessions per second increases from 35,000 to 85,000. Port count and form factor are identical at 5 x GE RJ45 desktop.
No. The base FG-50G does not include onboard SSD storage. If local log retention is required, the FortiGate 51G (FG-51G) adds 64 GB of SSD to the same chassis with identical performance specifications.
No. This is hardware only. A FortiCare subscription and FortiGuard security services are purchased separately. Look for FC-10-GT50G- prefix SKUs on DataCenter360.ca for subscription options. The 1-year UTP bundle (FC-10-GT50G-950-02-12) is the most common starting point for comprehensive protection.
Yes. The FG-50G delivers 1.3 Gbps of SSL inspection throughput, which is sufficient to inspect all HTTPS traffic on a 1 Gbps connection with inspection fully enabled. This avoids the common trade-off where administrators disable SSL inspection to recover throughput on older hardware.
Yes. DataCenter360.ca stocks the FG-50G in Canada and ships free to all provinces in 0 to 1 business days. This hardware listing is for Canadian customers. Licensing and subscriptions using the FC-10-GT50G- prefix are available worldwide through DataCenter360.ca.
