The FortiGate 81F-POE is the ideal secure networking device for organizations looking to consolidate branch office connectivity without sacrificing performance. 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.
