The FortiGate 50G-SFP is one of the few desktop firewalls with a dedicated GE SFP port for fiber WAN connectivity. Branch offices connecting to a fiber ISP handoff or needing a separate fiber uplink no longer require a standalone media converter. The FG-50G-SFP-BDL-950-36 bundles the appliance with three years of Unified Threat Protection, locking in IPS, Advanced Malware Protection, Application Control, URL/DNS filtering, Anti-Spam, and FortiCare Premium support for the duration of the term. Powered by the FortiSP5 ASIC, the 50G-SFP delivers 2.25 Gbps IPS throughput and 1.1 Gbps Threat Protection throughput from a fanless desktop chassis that requires no rack space.
The FG-50G-SFP-BDL-950-36 combines the FortiGate 50G-SFP appliance with a 3-year Unified Threat Protection (UTP) subscription. UTP activates the complete mid-tier FortiGuard security stack: IPS with AI/ML-based deep packet inspection, Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), Application Control, URL filtering against a 300M+ URL database, DNS filtering, Anti-Spam, and FortiCare Premium support with 24×7 telephone access and advanced hardware replacement.

Unified Threat Protection sits above the ATP tier and below the Enterprise tier in Fortinet’s bundle hierarchy. The key addition over ATP is Anti-Spam, making UTP the right choice for sites where email-borne threats are a concern alongside network-level protection. Here is how the three tiers compare for the FortiGate 50G-SFP:
| Service | Advanced Threat | Unified Threat | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPS & Anti-Botnet | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Anti-Malware Protection | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Application Control | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| URL & DNS Filtering | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Anti-Spam | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Data Loss Prevention | — | — | ✓ |
| OT Security | — | — | ✓ |
| Attack Surface Security | — | — | ✓ |
| FortiGuard SOCaaS | — | — | ✓ |
| FortiCare Premium Support | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
The 3-year UTP term fits branch offices, retail locations, and distributed enterprise sites where security policy stays consistent over a multi-year horizon. Buying a multi-year bundle eliminates the overhead of annual renewals and typically reduces the total cost of coverage compared to three consecutive 1-year terms. The SFP WAN slot is the hardware detail that distinguishes this model from the base 50G: it is particularly valuable at sites where the ISP delivers service over fiber and a copper-only firewall would force the use of a media converter or an SFP-less port.
If the 3-year commitment does not fit the budget cycle, the same UTP coverage ships in a 1-year term (FG-50G-SFP-BDL-950-12) and a 5-year term (FG-50G-SFP-BDL-950-60). For sites that need DLP, OT Security signatures, and FortiGuard SOCaaS on top of the UTP base, the Enterprise bundle (FG-50G-SFP-BDL-809-36) covers the same hardware with the full service tier. Organizations that already own the hardware can add a standalone 3-year UTP subscription via FC-10-F50GS-950-02-36.
DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner stocking the FG-50G-SFP-BDL-950-36 in Canada. Hardware ships free within 0 to 1 business days from Canadian inventory. The FortiCare and FortiGuard licenses included in the bundle activate via the FortiGate console and FortiCloud portal after delivery; no separate license key shipment is needed. If your project requires assistance with FortiConverter migration, rack deployment planning, or multi-site FortiManager integration, contact our team before placing the order.
UTP activates IPS (with AI/ML deep packet inspection), Advanced Malware Protection (antivirus plus file sandboxing), Application Control, URL filtering against a 300M+ URL database, DNS filtering, Anti-Spam, and FortiCare Premium support. All services run from the FortiSP5 ASIC and pull live threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs.
A 3-year bundle locks in the per-year service cost at bundle pricing, which is typically lower than buying three consecutive annual terms. It also eliminates the administrative overhead of renewal reminders, purchase orders, and license re-activation each year. For sites with a stable security policy, the 3-year term is a straightforward way to reduce both cost and operational friction.
The GE SFP slot provides a fiber WAN or uplink interface for connecting to fiber ISP handoffs or to a fiber switch without a media converter. For short-range multimode fiber runs (up to 300 m), pair it with an FN-TRAN-SFP+SR transceiver. Single-mode fiber applications require a different optic; consult the FortiGate 50G-SFP datasheet’s compatibility notes or contact DataCenter360.ca for guidance.
Fortinet’s licensing model does not support upgrading a running UTP bundle to Enterprise mid-term by adding a delta license. The typical path is to purchase a standalone Enterprise subscription (FC-10-F50GS-809-02-XX) and apply it to the device, which replaces the UTP subscription for the duration of the new term. Contact DataCenter360.ca to discuss the most cost-effective approach for your renewal timeline.
The FG-50G-SFP-BDL-950-36 includes the physical FortiGate 50G-SFP appliance, so hardware delivery is to customers in Canada. The UTP licenses included in the bundle are tied to the device serial number and do not have a geographic restriction for activation. If you only need the subscription renewal without the hardware, the standalone FC-10-F50GS-950-02-36 delivers electronically to any country.
