Authorized Partner for United States (US)When a switch is deployed for the long haul, a 5-year support contract makes the most sense. The FC-10-W248E-247-02-60 covers the FortiSwitch-248E-FPOE with FortiCare Premium for five full years — one registration, zero renewal cycles, and continuous access to Fortinet TAC from day one to day 1,825. For a 48-port all-PoE+ switch carrying IP phones, APs, and cameras at 740 W, five years of confirmed advance hardware replacement eliminates the biggest operational risk in access-layer hardware.
Over the full 5-year term, FortiCare Premium for the FortiSwitch-248E-FPOE provides:
Five-year contracts suit procurement teams that align support terms with hardware depreciation schedules and prefer to eliminate annual renewal risk. A mid-range access switch like the FortiSwitch-248E-FPOE typically remains in production for 5 to 7 years; matching that window with a single 5-year support contract is cleaner than managing renewals every 1 or 3 years. It also delivers the lowest cost per covered year of the three available terms.
The contract key is delivered electronically after purchase, typically the same business day. Register it at support.fortinet.com against your switch’s serial number. From that date, FortiCare Premium is active for 1,825 days with no further action required.

Yes. Fortinet allows FortiCare Premium to be applied to an existing uncontracted switch. The contract activates from the registration date, not from the original purchase date, so coverage starts right away.
No. Advance hardware replacement under FortiCare Premium means a replacement unit ships before you return the failed one, saving days in a traditional RMA cycle.
