Branches that manage their own IP phones, access points, or cameras typically run separate PoE switches alongside their firewall. The FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE collapses those two functions into one device: four PoE+ ports on the LAN side handle 802.3at-powered endpoints at up to 75.4 watts total, while the FortiSP5 processor runs full NGFW inspection on everything flowing in and out. Adding the 1-year UTP bundle means IPS, AV, URL/DNS filtering, App Control, and FortiCare Premium are all active out of the box.
Unified Threat Protection (tier 950) activates IPS, Advanced Malware Protection, Application Control, URL filtering, DNS filtering, Anti-spam, and FortiCare Premium 24×7 TAC support. These run on the FortiSP5 ASIC, which handles content inspection in hardware, keeping latency low under full inspection load — important when PoE endpoints like IP phones are sensitive to jitter.

With 75.4 watts total budget across four PoE+ ports, the 50G-SFP-PoE can simultaneously power roughly four 802.3at devices at full draw — three IP phones at 15 W each and one PoE+ access point at 25 W, for example. For larger endpoint counts, downstream FortiSwitch units connected via the FortiLink port can extend PoE capacity while keeping the firewall’s security policies applied at the access layer.
The two GE RJ45 WAN ports (WAN1 and WAN2) plus the GE SFP slot provide three potential uplink connections. FortiOS SD-WAN lets you combine and prioritize them by application: route VoIP traffic over the lowest-latency link, send bulk backups over whichever path has spare capacity, and fail over in seconds if any one path becomes unavailable. WAN2 also doubles as a PoE+ port, so it can power an endpoint when not used as an uplink.
DataCenter360.ca carries the FG-50G-SFP-POE-BDL-950-12 in stock, ships free to Canadian addresses within 0 to 1 business days, and backs every unit with official Fortinet partner support. We also stock the Enterprise tier (FG-50G-SFP-POE-BDL-809-12), multi-year UTP options, and the FG-51G-SFP-POE if you need local log storage. Contact our team or order online — secure checkout, brand-new sealed units.
The appliance has four PoE+ (802.3at) ports with a combined power budget of approximately 75.4 watts. That’s enough for devices like IP phones (7–15 W each), Wi-Fi access points (15–25 W), or cameras (10–15 W) — roughly 4 to 6 devices depending on their draw. If you need to power more endpoints, adding a PoE FortiSwitch via the FortiLink port extends capacity while keeping security policies centrally managed.
UTP adds URL filtering, DNS filtering, and Anti-spam on top of the ATP base (IPS, AV, Application Control). For most office deployments, URL and DNS filtering are the layers that catch phishing links and block command-and-control traffic before it reaches endpoints. Enterprise (809) further adds OT signatures and Security Rating on top of UTP.
Yes. Hardware ships within Canada from DataCenter360.ca, with free delivery from our Canadian warehouse. The FortiGuard license keys are registered globally through FortiCare, but the physical appliance is delivered to Canadian addresses only.
The FG-51G-SFP-POE includes a 64 GB SSD for local log retention, which the FG-50G-SFP-POE lacks. If log archiving without an external syslog server or FortiAnalyzer is a requirement, the 51G-SFP-POE is the right choice. Both models have the same SP5 ASIC performance and PoE capability.
No. WAN2 functions as either a PoE+ LAN port or a WAN uplink — not simultaneously in both roles. In most deployments it’s assigned to one function in the FortiOS interface configuration. If you need three WAN paths and PoE on the same unit, a downstream PoE FortiSwitch connected via the FortiLink port is the solution.
