Product Overview
The Fortinet FortiSwitch FS-108E-FPOE is a compact yet secure and reliable Ethernet switch suitable for use in small to mid-sized companies, branch offices, and remote deployments. It features Power over Ethernet (POE+) functionality, allowing it to efficiently serve power to other devices, such as wireless access points, IP phones, and security cameras, while also offering Gigabit speeds. The FS-108E-FPOE is a noise-free, fanless Layer 2 switching device with centralized management and simplified operations, easily transforming it into an office or wiring closet application as a component of the Fortinet Security Fabric.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Simple to Install: Eight Gigafilter Ethernet ports have PoE + features enabling the connection and powering of edge devices without standalone adapters.
-
Scalability and Flexible Uplink Flexibility: Two special SFPs can be used to support faster uplinks over fiber or long-range connectivity, allowing the network to scale.
-
Power budget Size: A 130 W PoE power capacity that supports a diverse range of devices, including access points, VoIP phones, and high-power distribution.
-
High-Performance Switching: High-performance switching of 20 Gbps and forward traffic at 30 Mpps; therefore, it can efficiently support the traffic requirements in a high-traffic environment.
-
Silent Operation Fanless building will offer a quiet operation and a higher performance, which will be most appropriate in an open office or sensitive areas.
-
Centralized Management: Control as a standalone switch or as a FortiLink to a FortiGate firewall, with which to provide a single platform of security and network.
-
Enterprise Grade Reliability: VLAN segmentation, support of Spanning Tree, 802. One-time authentication and link aggregation are two features that contribute to the secure, stable, and optimized operation of the network.

Product Information
The FortiSwitch FS-108E-FPOE offers the features of an enterprise-level switching platform in a small and affordable form factor. It is specifically designed to be used in settings that require a high level of secure connectivity and PoE power, including office, retail stores, and branch networks. The switch with 8 Gigabit PoE+ ports has the capability of supporting other devices, such as IP surveillance cameras and wireless access points, without delays in the data throughput.
Two more SFP uplink ports further increase deployment freedom, enabling simple access to larger networks with fiber backbones or higher range. The FS-108E-FPOE is supported by a rich feature set, including VLAN segmentation, 802.1X authentication, and spanning tree protocols, which ensures safe and stable performance.
FortiLink with FortiGate firewalls enables the management of networks and security to be centralized, making the management of both simpler and less complex. The FS-108E-FPOE has an excellent fit with small spaces, open offices, or distributed deployments that need reliability but not noise, combined with a fanless, silent design.
