Fortinet FortiSwitch 148F-FPOE FortiCare Premium Support, 3-Year (FC-10-148FF-247-02-36)

Three years of FortiCare Premium on the FortiSwitch 148F-FPOE, covered in a single purchase. FC-10-148FF-247-02-36 delivers phone and online TAC support, next-business-day hardware replacement, and firmware access from registration through the full three-year term, with no annual renewal to track.

What This Contract Covers

FortiCare Premium is the second tier in Fortinet’s support lineup. The table shows what each level includes:

Who Buys the 3-Year Term

Customers who know the FS-148F-FPOE will be in production for at least three years and want to avoid the administrative cycle of annual renewals. Schools and universities working on 3-year budget cycles, branch offices with consistent hardware refresh timelines, and IT managers who prefer a fixed support cost over a predictable horizon all tend to go with the 3-year term. The per-year cost is lower than three separate 1-year contracts.

Activation and Delivery

Contract token delivered electronically within 0-1 business days. Register through support.fortinet.com using the switch’s serial number. Coverage starts on the registration date, so register promptly to get the full term. If renewing an existing contract, the new term stacks on top of the current expiry.

Other Term Options

The 1-year term (FC-10-148FF-247-02-12) is the right choice for short-horizon deployments or environments where hardware decisions are made annually. The 5-year term (FC-10-148FF-247-02-60) offers the lowest per-year cost for infrastructure locked in for the long haul. All three terms deliver identical FortiCare Premium coverage; the difference is duration and total cost.
