Description
Fortinet FortiSwitch Rugged 112F-POE (FSR-112F-POE)
The FortiSwitch Rugged 112F-POE is a ruggedised industrial Ethernet switch engineered to deliver secure, resilient networking with advanced PoE power capabilities for harsh operational technology (OT) and industrial environments. Combining enterprise-grade switching with a hardened design, it enables reliable connectivity and power for edge devices in demanding installations such as manufacturing floors, remote substations, and transportation networks.
Built for Extreme Conditions
FortiSwitch Rugged 112F-POE is purpose-built to endure industrial environments, offering:
-
Fanless, passive cooling with no moving parts for long-term reliability
-
Ingress Protection (IP40) suitable for industrial and outdoor-adjacent environments
-
Extended operating temperature range from -40 °C to 75 °C (depending on enclosure and airflow)
-
Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) > 30 years, ensuring durability over decades of operation
This rugged design ensures dependable performance under temperature extremes, vibration, electrical noise, and other challenging conditions.
Versatile PoE and Connectivity
The FortiSwitch Rugged 112F-POE delivers flexible access and power for connected devices:
-
8 x 1G/100M/10M RJ45 PoE ports (802.3af/at/bt up to 90 W per port)
-
4 x 1G/100M SFP fibre ports for uplinks or long-distance connectivity
-
PoE power budget: 240 W total
This enables powering and connecting devices such as high-resolution security cameras, industrial sensors, access points, and other PoE-powered endpoints using a single cable infrastructure.
Efficient, Low-Latency Performance
-
Switching capacity (duplex): 24 Gbps
-
Forwarding rate (duplex): 35.7 Mpps
-
MAC address table: 16 K
-
VLAN support: 4 K
-
Latency: < 1 µs
These performance characteristics ensure responsive data forwarding and efficient segmentation for demanding industrial traffic.
