It is built for distributed enterprise sites, branch offices, small business networks, and secure WAN edge deployments where IT teams need reliable protection, efficient connectivity, and centralized control without deploying multiple separate devices. Powered by FortiOS and Fortinet’s SoC4 security processing architecture, the FG-40F delivers up to 5 Gbps IPv4 firewall throughput, 1 Gbps IPS throughput, 800 Mbps NGFW throughput, and 600 Mbps threat protection throughput. Its 5 GE RJ45 port design includes WAN, FortiLink, and internal Ethernet connectivity, supporting secure network segmentation, branch access, and FortiSwitch integration through FortiLink. FortiManager and FortiGate Cloud support centralized visibility, simplified deployment, analytics, and ongoing management across Fortinet environments. Key Benefits & Features High-Performance Security: Delivers up to 5 Gbps firewall throughput with IPS, NGFW, and threat protection performance levels suited for compact business and branch deployments. Integrated SD-WAN: Combines WAN edge functionality, security, and unified management through FortiOS to help organizations optimize application access across distributed locations. Access Layer Integration: Includes a default FortiLink port that can integrate FortiSwitch devices as logical extensions of the firewall for unified LAN security. Compact Deployment: Desktop form factor supports small environments where space efficiency, low disruption, and reliable branch connectivity are important. Centralized Operations: Supports FortiManager and FortiGate Cloud for centralized management, visibility, analytics, reporting, and simplified device administration. Ideal Use Cases Branch Offices needing firewalling, SD-WAN, and network access control Secure WAN Edge deployments with FortiOS-based policy enforcement Small Business Networks requiring compact GE RJ45 firewall protection Fortinet Security Fabric environments using FortiSwitch and FortiAP integration Technical Specifications Total GE RJ45 Ports: 5x GE RJ45 ports WAN Port: 1x GE RJ45 WAN port Internal Ports: 3x hardware accelerated GE RJ45 internal ports FortiLink Port: 1x hardware accelerated GE RJ45 FortiLink port by default USB Port: 1x USB port Console Port: 1x RJ45 console port IPv4 Firewall Throughput: 5 / 5 / 5 Gbps for 1518 / 512 / 64 byte UDP IPS Throughput: 1 Gbps NGFW Throughput: 800 Mbps Threat Protection Throughput: 600 Mbps IPsec VPN Throughput: 4.4 Gbps Concurrent Sessions: 700,000 TCP sessions New Sessions Per Second: 35,000 TCP sessions Maximum FortiSwitches Supported: 8 Maximum FortiAPs Supported: 16 total and 8 tunnel Form Factor: Desktop Strengthen Branch Security with FortiGate FG-40F Choose the Fortinet FortiGate FG-40F to consolidate firewall protection, SD-WAN, access layer integration, and centralized management in a compact desktop platform built for secure business connectivity.
