Fortinet 50GbE SFP56 Short-Range Transceiver Module, 100m (FN-TRAN-SFP56-SR)

The FN-TRAN-SFP56-SR brings 50-gigabit Ethernet to a single SFP56 cage. It is a 50GBASE-SR module transmitting at 850nm over multimode fibre on a duplex LC connector, reaching 100m, which suits high-density server and top-of-rack aggregation without moving to a QSFP form factor. It plugs into the SFP56 ports of FortiGate and FortiSwitch appliances that support 50G optics and, being Fortinet-qualified, clears the appliance’s transceiver check instead of raising an unsupported-optic alarm.

Specifications

Where this module fits

50GbE over a single lane is a dense, cost-effective step up from 25G for server access and top-of-rack uplinks. The SFP56-SR carries that link up to 100m over multimode fibre, ideal inside a rack row or across a data-center hall. Where the two ends sit in the same or an adjacent rack, the FN-CABLE-SFP56-DAC direct-attach cables deliver the same 50G at lower cost. To move to 200G, step up to the QSFP56 form factor.

Compatibility

Fits the SFP56 ports of FortiGate and FortiSwitch appliances that support 50GbE. Use OM3/OM4 multimode duplex LC fibre with a matching 50GBASE-SR optic at the far end. For short in-rack 50G hops, the FN-CABLE-SFP56-DAC-L1 (1m) and FN-CABLE-SFP56-DAC-LB5 (2.5m) are the direct-attach alternatives; for 200G aggregation, the FN-TRAN-QSFP56-SR4 is the parallel-fibre option.
