Fortinet FG-80F – Enterprise-Grade Firewall and Secure SD-WAN for the Branch Office
The Fortinet FortiGate 80F (FG-80F) is a compact, fanless next-generation firewall built for enterprise branch offices, mid-sized businesses and managed service deployments that need real security throughput without a rack. Powered by Fortinet’s purpose-built SOC4 security processor, it delivers 10 Gbps of firewall throughput, 1.4 Gbps of IPS inspection and 900 Mbps of full threat protection in a desktop chassis that draws under 16 watts. Ten gigabit interfaces – including two RJ45/SFP shared-media WAN pairs and two dedicated FortiLink ports – let you terminate dual WAN circuits, tie in FortiSwitch and FortiAP hardware, and run Secure SD-WAN overlays from a single appliance. For resellers, integrators and ISPs, the 80F is the sweet spot between the entry-level 60F and the rack-mounted 100F line: enough capacity for a real branch, small enough to ship cheaply and deploy anywhere.
Key Features & Benefits
- SOC4 Hardware Acceleration – Fortinet’s ASIC offloads firewall, IPsec and application identification from the CPU, which is why a fanless desktop unit can sustain 10 Gbps of firewall throughput and 6.5 Gbps of IPsec VPN at 3.23 microseconds of latency.
- Ten Gigabit Ports with SFP Flexibility – Six GE RJ45 internal ports, two GE RJ45/SFP shared-media WAN pairs and two GE FortiLink ports. The shared-media pairs let you take fiber or copper handoff from the carrier without buying a media converter.
- Secure SD-WAN Built In – Application-aware path steering, sub-second failover and automated overlay tunnels are part of FortiOS, not a separate box. Branch sites get MPLS-class application performance over commodity broadband.
- Full Threat Protection at 900 Mbps – Firewall, IPS, application control and antivirus running simultaneously with logging enabled, plus 715 Mbps of SSL inspection for encrypted traffic including TLS 1.3.
- SD-Branch Consolidation – Manages up to 16 FortiSwitches and 96 FortiAPs from the same appliance, collapsing firewall, switch controller and wireless controller into one device and one management pane.
- Trusted Platform Module – A dedicated hardware module generates, stores and authenticates cryptographic keys, protecting the appliance against tampering and firmware-level attacks in unmanned branch closets.
- 3G/4G WAN Failover – The USB 3.0 port accepts a compatible third-party cellular modem for a redundant WAN link, useful at sites where a second wired circuit is not economical.
- Deploy Anywhere – Fanless and silent at 0 dBA, 2.4 lbs, and mountable on a desk, wall or rack tray. Operates from 0 to 40 C on a 12 VDC external adapter with optional dual-adapter redundancy.
