Keep critical edge devices online with a PoE switch designed for higher-density access layers. FortiSwitch-424E-FPOE provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports with PoE+ support and 4 x 10 GE SFP+ uplinks, giving you the port mix needed to power endpoints while preserving uplink capacity for aggregation. The automatic 421 W PoE output limit helps align power delivery with real-world endpoint demand, reducing the need to oversize the access layer for every closet. Layer 2/3 support gives network teams more control over segmentation and traffic handling than basic access switches, which matters when the same switch must serve voice, video, wireless, and security devices. This model is a strong fit when you need more than simple port expansion. The combination of PoE+, 10 GE uplinks, and FortiGate switch controller compatibility makes it well suited for environments where access switching must integrate cleanly into a managed security architecture. It is the kind of switch you choose when uptime, power planning, and uplink performance all affect operational cost.
