Fortinet FortiGate 1800F-DC + 1-Year UTP Bundle (FG-1800F-DC-BDL-950-12)

Central offices and telecom facilities running -48V DC power plants can’t drop a standard AC firewall into the rack. The FortiGate 1800F-DC 1-Year UTP Bundle (FG-1800F-DC-BDL-950-12) solves that: it is the dual-power-supply DC variant of the FortiGate 1800F, paired here with a full year of FortiCare Premium support and FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection (UTP). Performance and ASIC acceleration match the AC model exactly; only the power input and physical connectors differ, so telecom, carrier, and data center deployments get the same NP7 + CP9 security processing without an external DC-to-AC inverter.

What the bundle includes

One SKU covers three things: the FortiGate 1800F-DC appliance with dual hot-swappable -48V to -60V DC power supplies, one year of FortiCare Premium (24×7 support, firmware updates, advanced hardware replacement), and one year of FortiGuard UTP, which bundles IPS, anti-malware with sandboxing, application control, and URL/DNS/video filtering into a single license. Nothing needs to be licensed separately after the unit is racked and powered.

What UTP covers

FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection is the middle of Fortinet’s three service tiers, sitting above ATP and below Enterprise. It includes intrusion prevention with deep-packet and SSL inspection, anti-malware with sandbox detonation, application control, and URL, DNS, and video filtering, all updated continuously from FortiGuard Labs. It does not include the Enterprise-only additions such as AI-based inline malware prevention, data loss prevention, or attack surface security, so shops that need those should look at the 809 Enterprise bundle instead.

Who runs a DC-powered 1800F

This model is built for central offices, telecom head-ends, and data center facilities where the rack draws -48V DC from the site’s battery plant rather than AC mains, a common requirement in carrier and NEBS-adjacent environments. Throughput-wise it suits organizations pushing tens of thousands of concurrent sessions and multi-gigabit NGFW inspection across mixed 1GE, 10GE, 25GE, and 100GE links, which is well beyond what a branch-office model handles.

Other terms and models

The same DC hardware with the same UTP license is also sold in 3-year and 5-year terms if a 1-year commitment isn’t the right fit for procurement cycles. For sites that need more headroom, the FortiGate 2600F-DC steps up throughput and port density while keeping the same DC power architecture.
