Fortinet FS-224E 24 GE RJ45 4 SFP network switch

Secure Access Switch for Managed Networks

The Fortinet FS-224E is a managed Layer 2 and Layer 3 switch designed for small to mid-sized businesses and branch offices. It provides 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports and four Gigabit SFP ports in a single rack unit. The switch operates under FortiGate controller integration for centralised security policies and user authentication across wired and wireless connections.

Fanless Operation with Zero Acoustic Output

This unit uses a fanless thermal design, producing no audible noise during operation. Power consumption remains limited to the switching ASIC and port interfaces without active cooling components. The compact 1 RU form factor allows dense deployment in wiring closets or desktop environments where silent running is required.

Stackable Architecture for Up to 300 Units

The FS-224E supports stacking up to 300 switches per FortiGate depending on the controller model. This capability lets administrators expand port density to 48 ports per stack while maintaining a single management plane. Networks that do not require FortiGate integration or large-scale stacking should evaluate standalone alternatives.
