BRAND NEW WITH FULL FORTINET WARRANTY!!!

Overview

The FS-324G-FPOE Fortinet FortiSwitch 324G-FPoE is a Layer 2/3 managed enterprise switch designed for multi-gigabit campus access networks, branch deployments, and high-density edge connectivity. It provides 24 × 10/100/1000/2.5G RJ-45 ports with 4PPoE support and four 10GbE SFP+ uplinks, giving organizations high-speed access connectivity while providing dedicated bandwidth for aggregation and uplink applications.

With a 420W PoE budget, the FS-324G-FPOE can deliver power to compatible wireless access points, IP cameras, sensors, and other network edge devices directly through Ethernet cabling. Its Layer 3 capabilities, sub-microsecond latency, 32K MAC address table, FortiLink integration, standalone management options, and MACsec support make it suitable for enterprise environments where network performance, centralized control, and security are important.

The 1U rack-mount form factor fits standard enterprise network racks and wiring closets, while redundant AC power support provides an additional level of resilience for business-critical deployments.
