Product description

Infrastructure that earns its place — like a FortiSwitch 124F-FPOE sustaining 24 PoE+ devices — rarely needs to be swapped before five years. FC-10-S124F-314-02-60 is designed for that scenario: one purchase, one activation in the Fortinet Support Portal, and no renewal task until the next hardware planning cycle. At $332.29 across 60 months, the effective annual cost drops to approximately $66 — the lowest per-year rate of any Essential term for the FS-124F-FPOE — with firmware access, next-business-day response, and return-and-replace RMA active throughout.

What it covers

Five continuous years of FortiCare Essential: next-business-day critical response for the FS-124F-FPOE, return-and-replace RMA for any qualifying hardware failure during the 60-month term, firmware updates throughout, and Fortinet online tools and asset portal access. Telephone support is not included — it is available from FortiCare Premium. The contract runs from the activation date with no gaps or annual resets.

Who needs it

The 5-year term fits organizations with long hardware refresh cycles — common in IP surveillance infrastructure, campus wireless, and building management systems where the FS-124F-FPOE’s full PoE budget powers devices that will run for years. It also suits procurement teams that prefer fewer renewal touchpoints and want contract expiry to align with a future technology refresh. Five years is the maximum standard Essential term for this model.

Activation & delivery

Delivery is electronic and worldwide — no physical shipment. Fortinet emails the activation key after order confirmation. Apply it in the Fortinet Support Portal linked to the FS-124F-FPOE’s registered serial number to begin the 60-month term. Have the serial number ready before activating. The portal allows date adjustment at activation if you need to align this contract’s end date with other FortiSwitch renewals.

One service vs the bundle

Essential provides the baseline for five full years — firmware continuity, RMA eligibility, and next-business-day response. If there is any chance your environment will need telephone support or a faster response SLA at any point during this 60-month window, it is worth comparing FortiCare Premium at the 5-year term before committing. For stable, well-managed deployments where next-business-day resolution is acceptable, Essential at 5 years delivers the best cost per covered month of any FortiCare tier for the FS-124F-FPOE.

Frequently asked questions

Is 5 years the longest FortiCare Essential term available for the FortiSwitch 124F-FPOE?
Yes. FC-10-S124F-314-02-60 covers 60 months — the maximum standard FortiCare Essential term for this model. Shorter 1-year and 3-year options are also available if a different commitment period better fits your procurement cycle.
What is the effective annual cost compared to the 1-year and 3-year renewals?
At $332.29 for 60 months, the 5-year term works out to approximately $66.46 per year. The 1-year term (FC-10-S124F-314-02-12) is $74.77 annually; the 3-year term (FC-10-S124F-314-02-36) is $199.38, also about $66 per year. Both multi-year terms offer the same per-year rate — the 5-year advantage is eliminating four future renewal events.
What happens if the FortiSwitch 124F-FPOE reaches end-of-support before the 5-year contract expires?
Fortinet supports hardware through its published end-of-support date regardless of end-of-sale status. If the FS-124F-FPOE reaches end-of-support within your contract window, Fortinet will notify you. Check Fortinet’s hardware lifecycle page for current dates before purchasing a long-term contract.
Is this contract specific to the FPOE variant, or does it cover any FortiSwitch 124F hardware?
The support contract is matched to the serial number you register in Fortinet’s portal. The FPOE variant — which delivers a full PoE+ budget across all 24 ports — uses the same S124F SKU family for support purposes. Confirm your hardware serial number maps to an FS-124F-FPOE before activating.
Can a 5-year renewal be purchased at the same time as new FS-124F-FPOE hardware?
No. FortiCare Essential renewals (SKU prefix FC-10-) are available only for renewal of existing coverage — they cannot be attached to a new hardware purchase. The initial support contract is purchased separately at the time of hardware acquisition through a different SKU.
