Fortinet FortiGate 50G SFP-PoE

Fortinet FortiGate 50G SFP-PoE — Product Description

Branch-ready NGFW + SD-WAN with SFP connectivity

The Fortinet FortiGate 50G SFP is a compact, high-performance next-generation firewall built for modern branch and small campus deployments that need enterprise-grade security, integrated SD-WAN, and the flexibility of fiber uplinks. Running on FortiOS and powered by Fortinet’s purpose-built Secure SD-WAN ASIC (SP5), the 50G SFP converges networking and security in a single appliance—delivering fast application performance, efficient deep inspection, and simplified operations across distributed environments.

As a core part of the Fortinet Security Fabric, FortiGate 50G SFP works seamlessly with FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services to provide coordinated, real-time protection against modern threats—while giving IT teams centralized visibility and automated workflows to reduce overhead.

Why it’s a great fit

• SFP + RJ45 flexibility for branch uplinks, switches, and mixed media environments

• Converged NGFW + SD-WAN for secure internet breakout, multi-WAN, and application steering

• ASIC-accelerated performance for better throughput and lower power usage than CPU-only firewalls

• FortiGuard AI-Powered Security for IPS, malware defense, web/DNS security, and zero-day protection (subscription-based)

• Built-in FortiLink to extend security to FortiSwitch and FortiAP for unified SD-Branch deployments

• TPM + signed firmware hardware switch on the 50G family to harden the appliance and reduce compromise risk

Typical use cases

• Perimeter protection with deep inspection and TLS 1.3 visibility

• Secure SD-WAN for performance and resilience across multiple links
