Authorized Partner for United States (US)Locking in support coverage for five years at today’s pricing removes both the annual renewal task and the risk of cost increases at renewal time. For organizations running the FortiSwitch 148F-POE over a long deployment window, the FC-10-148FP-247-02-60 provides five continuous years of FortiCare Premium: 24/7 support, next-calendar-day hardware replacement, and full firmware access, with a single purchase covering the entire period.
FortiCare Premium is the intermediate tier in Fortinet’s support structure, above Essential and below Elite. It provides 24/7 phone and web case access, next-calendar-day hardware replacement if a unit fails, and complete access to firmware updates and the Fortinet support portal. For the FS-148F-POE, this means any critical issue can be raised at any hour and hardware failures are addressed with a committed next-calendar-day delivery window.
The FortiSwitch 148F-POE is a 48-port 1 RU access switch with 48 GE RJ45 ports, 4x 10GE SFP+ uplinks, 176 Gbps switching capacity, and 24-port PoE+ with a 370W budget. Five years of FortiCare Premium ensures the switch stays current with FortiSwitchOS releases and covered against hardware failure through the full lifecycle.

The 5-year term suits organizations that plan to run the FS-148F-POE for the full extent of its hardware lifecycle, typically five to seven years in most enterprise and SMB deployments. Network teams in healthcare, education, retail, and professional services that use the switch to power PoE endpoints, and that want predictable support costs over that period without annual procurement actions, are the primary buyers. It is also common practice for organizations that deploy FortiSwitch in FortiLink mode under a FortiGate to align support term lengths across the fabric.
The license key arrives electronically from DataCenter360.ca, typically the same business day. Registration is completed at support.fortinet.com using the serial number of the specific unit, and coverage activates immediately for 60 months from that date. No on-site visit or hardware change is required. The contract is available to buyers worldwide.
If the full 5-year commitment is more than required, the 1-year (FC-10-148FP-247-02-12) and 3-year (FC-10-148FP-247-02-36) versions of this contract are both available. For environments with strict uptime requirements, the Priority RMA add-on (FC-10-148FP-210-02-60) provides same-business-morning hardware delivery rather than next-calendar-day, and is available in a matching 5-year term.
Purchasing the FC-10-148FP-247-02-60 through DataCenter360.ca means working with a Fortinet Select Partner that carries authorized FortiSwitch licensing and can confirm contract eligibility against your serial number in advance. Electronic delivery is standard, orders are processed securely, and the 5-year FortiCare Premium entitlement is registered directly under your Fortinet support account. Volume or multi-unit inquiries are welcome.
Yes. You can purchase and register a FortiCare Premium contract for an FS-148F-POE that is already deployed, as long as the model is within its product lifecycle and not End of Support. If a previous contract has lapsed, a reinstatement fee may apply. DataCenter360.ca can assist with confirming current eligibility.
Yes. Once purchased, the contract covers the full 60-month period at the price paid at the time of purchase. Any future Fortinet pricing adjustments do not affect an already-purchased term contract. This is one of the main advantages of multi-year terms over annual renewals.
Fortinet will ship a replacement unit to arrive the next calendar day under the FortiCare Premium hardware replacement entitlement. After the replacement is registered, you contact Fortinet support to transfer the remaining contract term to the new serial number. DataCenter360.ca can assist with the process if needed.
Essential provides 8×5 telephone support and next-business-day hardware replacement. Premium extends both to 24/7 support and next-calendar-day hardware replacement. The Premium response times are relevant for production switches powering endpoints that operate outside business hours.
No. FortiCare contracts are a worldwide entitlement and are not region-specific. The license key purchased from DataCenter360.ca is valid globally and is registered against your unit’s serial number in the Fortinet support portal regardless of where the switch is physically located.
