Purpose-built compact firewall

The FortiGate 50G is a desktop-form-factor next-generation firewall with five Gigabit RJ45 ports, including one WAN port, one FortiLink port and three internal ports. It runs FortiOS to combine firewall, SD-WAN and security services in a single appliance for small offices or branch sites. The unit draws up to 8.9 W from an external 12 V DC adapter and can sit on a desk or be wall-mounted.

Upgrade from basic routers

This appliance replaces a simple router or software firewall when you need hardware-accelerated threat inspection, VPN termination and SD-WAN without a rackmount chassis. The jump is worth it when concurrent session capacity of 720 000 and 6 Mpps packet forwarding are required for multiple users or site-to-site tunnels. Buyers who only need plain NAT and DHCP without deep inspection will not benefit from the added complexity.

Verify power and mounting

Confirm you have a nearby 100-240 V AC outlet for the supplied 12 V 3 A adapter and 8.9 W maximum draw. The chassis measures 40.5 x 216 x 160 mm and weighs 1.0 kg, so ensure the desktop or wall surface can accommodate those dimensions. Check that your ISP handoff uses an RJ45 connection compatible with the single WAN port.
