Fortinet FortiSwitch-108F-POE Next Calendar Day Priority RMA, 1-Year (FC-10-F108P-210-02-12)

The FortiSwitch-108F-POE is a 48-port standard PoE access switch built for environments that need reliable endpoint connectivity without the premium of fast PoE. When it fails, the Next Calendar Day Priority RMA (FC-10-F108P-210-02-12) ensures a replacement arrives the following calendar day — not just the next business day. Weekends and public holidays count. For operations that run 7 days a week, that distinction matters.

What This Contract Covers

FC-10-F108P-210-02-12 is a 1-year Priority RMA add-on for the FortiSwitch-108F-POE. It requires an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract on the same device. Coverage includes:

• A replacement FortiSwitch-108F-POE delivered by courier on the next calendar day after exchange confirmation
• Country-specific cutoff times determine whether a case opened on a given day dispatches that day or the following
• Coverage on all calendar days, including weekends and public holidays
• 12 months of coverage from the contract start date

FortiCare Support Tier Comparison

Priority RMA add-on options require FortiCare Premium or Elite on the same device. Here is how the underlying support tiers compare:

Who Needs Next Calendar Day RMA

Next Calendar Day delivery is the entry-level Priority RMA tier — faster than standard next-business-day RMA included with FortiCare Premium or Elite, and more cost-effective than 4-hour options. It suits deployments where a one-day outage is tolerable but a multi-day wait is not. Education environments, hospitality networks, small-to-mid-sized office campuses, and secondary distribution closets in enterprise buildings are common use cases. If same-day engineer presence is not required, this tier provides meaningful speed improvement over standard RMA at a lower cost than 4-hour options.

FortiSwitch-108F-POE vs. 108F-FPOE

The FortiSwitch-108F-POE (covered by this contract) delivers standard IEEE 802.3at PoE+ on all 48 ports, with a total PoE budget suited for general-purpose endpoint deployment. The FortiSwitch-108F-FPOE adds faster PoE charging for higher-power devices. If your environment uses the standard PoE variant — the -108F-POE — this is the correct RMA SKU. For the -108F-FPOE, search the FC-10-F108F-210- series instead.

Next Calendar Day vs. Other Priority RMA Options for the FortiSwitch-108F-POE

The 3-year term (FC-10-F108P-210-02-36) and 5-year term (FC-10-F108P-210-02-60) provide identical service levels at extended durations, reducing renewal overhead for longer deployments. FortiCare Premium (FC-10-F108P-247-02-12) is the complementary support contract that activates Priority RMA eligibility. If the switch is in a critical application where same-day response is required, consider whether 4-hour options are available for the -108F-POE in your region.
