Fortinet · FortiGate NGFW
FortiGate 80F
50–100 user branch with PoE+ ports to power FortiAP/FortiSwitch.
Quick answer
FortiGate 80F is a 14-port PoE+ NGFW for 50–100 user branch offices, with 10 Gbps firewall + 1.4 Gbps threat prevention + 70W PoE+ budget — powers FortiAP and FortiSwitch from a single device.
FortiGate 80F is the bigger sibling to the 60F. 14x GbE ports (4x PoE+) power Wi-Fi APs and VoIP phones directly in branch offices.
The 80F-PoE variant offers a higher PoE budget. Preferred when the 60F is no longer enough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this model
When should I pick the 80F over the 90G?
The 90G is the next-gen successor with SP5 ASIC and higher performance. For new projects pick 90G; the 80F continues for refresh deployments.
Is the PoE+ budget enough?
80F-PoE at 70W typically powers 4–5 PoE devices. For more APs/phones, add a separate FortiSwitch PoE.
How is FortiAP managed?
The 80F's built-in WLAN controller manages FortiAPs — up to 32 APs. No extra controller hardware needed.
FortiSwitch integration?
FortiLink lets FortiSwitches be managed from the FortiGate. VLAN, ports, PoE budget — all from one panel.
Warranty?
3-year FortiCare standard; 24x7 Premium optional.
Redundant deployment?
Two 80F units form an active-passive HA cluster for branch continuity.
