By integrating 8 Power over Ethernet (PoE/+) ports with a 96W budget, the device can power access points, IP phones, and cameras directly, reducing cabling and complexity. The FG-81F-POE also includes 128GB onboard storage. This firewall operates on FortiOS, the industry’s first converged networking and security operating system, enabling unified protection and secure SD-WAN capabilities. Accelerated by the patented SD-WAN-based ASIC SP4, the FG-81F-POE delivers fast application identification and ultra-low latency, achieving 1.4 Gbps of IPS throughput and 6.5 Gbps of IPsec VPN throughput to ensure a robust user experience and centralized protection. Secure Networking Power with 96W PoE+ and 128GB SSD Key Benefits Integrated Power Delivery: Features 8x GE PoE/+ ports with a 96W total power budget for powering edge devices directly. Integrated Storage: Includes 128GB onboard SSD storage. ASIC-Accelerated Performance: Delivers high-speed security functions, including up to 10 Gbps Firewall and 1.4 Gbps IPS throughput, via the purpose-built Fortinet SP4 ASIC. Converged Security Fabric: Acts as a cornerstone of the Fortinet Security Fabric, integrating control over connected FortiAPs (up to 96) and FortiSwitches (up to 24). Resilient Design: Supports optional dual DC power adapters for power redundancy and continuous network protection. Optimal Network Latency: Maintains ultra-low firewall latency of 3.23 μs (64 byte UDP) for critical applications. Ideal Use Cases Branch Office Consolidation: Consolidates firewall security and PoE connectivity in a single desktop appliance. Retail and POS Locations: Securely power and manage edge devices, including cameras and point-of-sale systems, from one unit. Distributed Enterprises: Deployments requiring consistent firewall performance and integrated SD-WAN across branch locations. Secure Remote Work Hubs: Centralized security and management for remote users connecting via 2,500 Client-to-Gateway IPsec VPN Tunnels.
