Enterprise multi-gig switching
Fortinet FortiSwitch FS-624F Network Switch in Dubai, UAE
When a campus network has outgrown one-gigabit access but does not need Power over Ethernet on every port, the FS-624F provides a focused route to higher-speed copper connectivity. Its 24 multi-gigabit RJ45 interfaces can operate up to 5GbE, while four 25GbE SFP28 ports provide higher-capacity uplink choices. The result is a switch aimed at organisations planning faster wireless, workstation, server-edge or aggregation connectivity while retaining familiar copper access at the edge.
Decision snapshot
The FS-624F is the non-PoE member of the 624F pair. Buyers should not assume the PoE capabilities of the FS-624F-FPOE apply to this base model.

Direct answer: what is the FS-624F and when should you consider it?
The Fortinet FortiSwitch FS-624F is a managed enterprise switch for high-speed campus and access-layer networks. Its main role is to provide 24 copper multi-gigabit connections at speeds up to 5GbE and four 25GbE fibre uplinks, with integration into the Fortinet switching and security ecosystem. It is worth considering when one-gigabit access is becoming a bottleneck for Wi-Fi infrastructure, power users, media workflows, dense office networks or local aggregation. Before proceeding, confirm that the non-PoE design is appropriate, verify the required SFP28 transceivers and fibre type, define how the switch will be managed, check supported software features for the intended FortiSwitchOS release, and determine whether advanced switching, cloud management or FortiCare services need to be included in the quotation.
What the switch does
The FS-624F bridges conventional Ethernet access and higher-speed campus design. Instead of limiting every copper device to 1GbE, it supports multi-gig operation across its 24 RJ45 interfaces, allowing compatible endpoints to negotiate higher link rates without requiring fibre to each desk or device. The four SFP28 uplinks can be used to connect upstream switches, distribution layers, cores or other compatible equipment at speeds supported by the installed optics and design.
Within a Fortinet environment, the switch can participate in centrally managed LAN architectures. Fortinet positions its switches for direct FortiGate management through FortiLink, while standalone and cloud-management approaches are also available across the platform. The exact operational model should be chosen before procurement because it affects design, administration, licensing and support planning.
Who it suits
This model is relevant to medium and large organisations that need faster wired access and strong uplink headroom but do not require the switch itself to provide PoE. Typical buyers include IT departments upgrading Wi-Fi backhaul, technical teams connecting high-performance workstations, education campuses increasing access-layer capacity, and enterprises standardising on Fortinet management.
It is less suitable where most edge devices require switch-delivered power. In that case, the FS-624F-FPOE should be evaluated separately rather than assuming the base model can power devices. It may also be excessive for small networks whose endpoints remain comfortably within one-gigabit requirements and whose uplink utilisation is low.
Business challenges the FS-624F can help address
One-gigabit edge bottlenecks
Modern wireless access points, engineering workstations and content workflows can demand more than a single gigabit. Multi-gig copper gives compatible devices additional headroom while retaining RJ45 cabling where the installed cabling and distance support the required rate.
Uplink oversubscription
A switch with faster access ports needs appropriately sized upstream links. Four 25GbE SFP28 interfaces give architects more options for uplink capacity, link aggregation and resilient topology, subject to the selected design, transceivers and peer equipment.
Operational fragmentation
Organisations already operating FortiGate may prefer a switching platform that can be managed as part of the same LAN security architecture. Centralised visibility can reduce the number of isolated configuration points, although the precise workflow depends on the chosen management mode.
Protected Ethernet links
Fortinet documents MACsec support for the FS-624F platform. MACsec can protect Ethernet frames on supported links, but it must be designed and configured correctly and should not be assumed to replace higher-layer security controls.
Core capabilities buyers should evaluate
Supports 1GbE, 2.5GbE and 5GbE-class access for compatible copper endpoints and cabling.
Provides high-speed fibre uplink choices up to 25GbE with suitable transceivers and peer interfaces.
Supports enterprise switching and routing functions, with certain dynamic routing capabilities dependent on operating mode and licensing.
Can be managed through FortiGate using FortiLink; cloud and standalone options should be scoped according to the operating model.

Configuration, licensing and compatibility dependencies
A switch purchase is not complete when the chassis model is selected. The FS-624F needs to be matched to the network around it. SFP28 modules, fibre type, link distance, upstream switch capabilities, FortiGate compatibility, cabling and endpoint NIC speeds all influence whether the intended design will work as expected. The presence of a 25GbE slot does not mean every optic or third-party transceiver should be assumed compatible, and the 5GbE capability of the RJ45 ports does not guarantee every existing cable run can sustain that rate over its installed distance and condition.
Management choice also matters. Fortinet documents FortiGate-managed operation without a separate FortiSwitch management license, while FortiEdge Cloud management and certain advanced switching capabilities use separate licensing. The current FortiSwitch ordering guide also notes that the Advanced Switching license enables dynamic routing protocols in standalone mode. Buyers who expect the switch to perform autonomous routing should therefore describe their routing requirements before the quotation is finalised.
Software features evolve between FortiSwitchOS releases. Confirm the target release, feature support, upgrade path and compatibility with the FortiGate version if the switch will be managed through FortiLink. FourTeck can help convert those requirements into a cleaner bill of materials rather than treating licenses, optics and support as afterthoughts.
A practical purchase and deployment journey
Map endpoint demand
Identify which connected devices truly need more than 1GbE, how many will use 2.5GbE or 5GbE, and whether any endpoints require PoE. This establishes whether the FS-624F is the right variant.
Design upstream capacity
Decide how the four SFP28 interfaces will connect to distribution or core equipment, including required speed, fibre, optic distance, link aggregation and redundancy.
Choose management mode
Confirm FortiGate-managed, standalone or cloud-based operations. This decision affects feature planning, licensing, configuration workflow and support responsibilities.
Build the bill of materials
Include the switch, power redundancy if required, optics, patching, FortiCare, applicable licenses, rack accessories and any professional configuration or migration work.
Validate before cutover
Test uplinks, VLANs, routing, authentication, management visibility, redundancy and client speed negotiation before moving critical production traffic.
Multi-gig access without forcing fibre to every endpoint
The most practical reason to consider the FS-624F is its ability to lift copper access beyond 1GbE. Many organisations have a mixed endpoint population: standard office devices remain satisfied with gigabit connectivity while newer access points, technical workstations, storage-facing systems and media endpoints can use 2.5GbE or 5GbE. A multi-gig switch allows those requirements to coexist on the same access platform instead of pushing the entire floor toward fibre.
That does not mean every existing cable run will automatically deliver 5GbE. Cable category, installation quality, distance, patch panels, connectors and interference can all affect achievable Ethernet rates. A useful pre-purchase exercise is to identify the ports expected to operate above 1GbE and validate representative cable paths. This can prevent a situation where premium switching hardware is installed but the physical layer becomes the limiting factor.
The non-PoE design also deserves deliberate consideration. If the targeted multi-gig endpoints are wireless access points that require high-power PoE, the FS-624F itself may not be the right chassis even though its data rate is attractive. In that scenario, evaluate the FPOE variant and its power requirements as a separate product rather than adding injectors after purchase without a clear design.
25GbE uplinks need an end-to-end design
Four SFP28 uplinks create useful capacity options, but the value comes from how they are connected. A buyer should define whether the switch is an access-layer device feeding a distribution pair, a local aggregation point, or part of a more specialised campus topology. Uplink speed should reflect expected aggregate traffic, application behaviour and resilience targets rather than simply using the maximum port rate because it is available.
Optics are a common source of incomplete bills of materials. SFP28 describes the physical interface family, not the distance or fibre medium. The correct transceiver depends on the peer interface, wavelength, fibre plant and reach. Link aggregation or multi-chassis resilience can also influence the number of optics required. If an existing core accepts only 10GbE, confirm the supported negotiation and transceiver combination instead of assuming every 25GbE port can be connected with any 10GbE module.
For an upgrade project, document the current uplink utilisation, intended growth period and redundancy model. This gives procurement teams a defensible basis for the optics, fibre and upstream changes that accompany the switch, while helping engineers avoid oversubscription surprises after endpoint speeds increase.
Integrated management and security need operational ownership
FortiSwitch is often selected by organisations already using FortiGate because FortiLink can bring switch management into the Fortinet LAN security architecture. That can simplify visibility, segmentation and policy operations, but only when the intended responsibilities are defined. Teams should decide who owns switch configuration, how change control is performed, where logs are reviewed and how firmware is maintained.
Standalone operation remains relevant where the switching team needs independent control or where the network topology does not use FortiGate as the LAN controller. In that mode, certain dynamic routing capabilities depend on an Advanced Switching license. Cloud management introduces another operating model and corresponding license considerations. None of these choices is universally preferable; the right answer depends on the organisation’s administrative model, security architecture and existing Fortinet estate.
MACsec is another feature that should be treated as an engineered capability rather than a checkbox. It can provide link-layer encryption on supported connections, but keying mode, peer compatibility, performance expectations and software release support must be confirmed. FourTeck can help identify where MACsec adds value and where other controls remain necessary.
Ideal business environments and use cases
High-density office floors
Useful where a subset of desktops, docking stations, creative users or technical workstations need more than one gigabit, while the network team wants to maintain copper access and central policy control.
Campus wireless aggregation
Relevant when access points have multi-gig Ethernet interfaces and power is supplied through another design. If the switch must provide PoE, compare the FPOE variant before committing.
Education and training facilities
Can support labs, media spaces and dense user areas where endpoint traffic is increasing and 25GbE uplink capacity is useful for connecting building distribution or core infrastructure.
Engineering and content teams
A fit where large local files, shared storage access and workstation traffic can benefit from multi-gig links, subject to server, storage and end-to-end path capacity.
Fortinet-standardised networks
Well aligned with organisations seeking FortiGate-managed LAN operations and consistent segmentation practices across switching, firewalling and access policy.
Campus access refresh projects
Suitable when the objective is not only to replace aging switches but to create headroom for faster endpoints and uplinks during the next infrastructure cycle.
Integration and operational considerations
Start with the physical environment. Confirm rack depth and available rack units, power feeds, airflow direction, grounding practice and cable-management space. If redundant power is part of the resilience target, include the correct FS-PSU-350 option and confirm how each power feed will be connected. Redundant hardware is most useful when the upstream electrical design also avoids a single failure point.
Next, map the logical design. Define VLANs, trunks, link aggregation, spanning-tree or multi-chassis requirements, routed interfaces, default gateways, authentication, network access controls and monitoring. If the switch will be managed through FortiGate, confirm FortiLink topology and software compatibility before installation. If it will be standalone, identify any advanced routing features that make the Advanced Switching license relevant.
Endpoint and uplink compatibility should be tested rather than assumed. Multi-gig copper requires compatible NICs and healthy cabling. Fibre uplinks require the correct SFP28 modules, fibre type, connector type and optical budget. If MACsec is planned, verify both ends of the link, keying approach and software release support.
Finally, define operational acceptance criteria. A successful cutover should confirm management reachability, client negotiation speeds, VLAN membership, routing, authentication, redundancy behaviour, logging and expected application performance. This turns the switch deployment into a controlled network change rather than a simple hardware swap.
Buyer questions to resolve before ordering
If yes, determine whether injectors, separate PoE switches or the FS-624F-FPOE is the cleaner design.
This helps validate whether a 24-port 600 Series model is proportionate to the use case.
The answer determines SFP28 optic selection, fibre planning and upstream compatibility.
Confirm FortiGate capacity, software compatibility and FortiLink topology if central management is planned.
If so, verify feature support and Advanced Switching license requirements for the selected release.
Define the required FortiCare level and duration rather than treating support as an unspecified line item.

How FourTeck can assist
FourTeck can help turn the product selection into a complete network requirement. Assistance can include reviewing the intended access speeds, confirming whether the base or PoE variant better fits the endpoint estate, identifying optics and redundant power requirements, discussing management mode, checking license dependencies and preparing a bill of materials for quotation.
For projects that need more than hardware supply, configuration and deployment requirements can be scoped separately. Buyers can discuss VLAN design, FortiLink integration, migration from existing switches, uplink changes, testing and handover expectations. The final service scope depends on the site, topology, change window and customer responsibilities.
Explore FourTeck network and security products or review available technology services when the switch is part of a wider infrastructure refresh.
UAE availability and support guidance
Contact FourTeck to confirm current UAE availability for the Fortinet FortiSwitch FS-624F. Availability can vary by model, quantity, support term, optional power components, optic requirements and vendor lead time. A quotation should therefore be based on the complete requirement rather than the chassis alone.
If the project includes installation or configuration, include that scope when requesting pricing so delivery coordination and engineering requirements can be discussed together. Buyers should also confirm the preferred FortiCare term, management approach and any licenses needed for the intended operating mode.
For current commercial guidance, use the FourTeck contact team with the model, quantity, destination and target deployment schedule.
Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman project coordination
Businesses planning FortiSwitch upgrades across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman can discuss a combined requirement with FourTeck rather than treating each site as an unrelated purchase. Share the number of switches per location, existing FortiGate models, uplink topology, fibre distances, endpoint speed requirements, maintenance windows and whether installation or configuration is needed. This gives the quotation process enough context to separate hardware, optics, support and project work. Delivery and service coordination are confirmed only after the exact scope, destination and availability have been reviewed. For larger rollouts, a standardised bill of materials can also help reduce model variation across sites while still allowing location-specific optics, rack and cabling requirements.
GCC Availability
FourTeck can assist organisations planning FortiSwitch projects across GCC markets with requirement review, model selection, quotation coordination and regional deployment planning. For the FS-624F, a useful request should identify whether the switch is being used for campus access, Wi-Fi aggregation, high-speed workstation connectivity or another role, then specify the required quantity, destination country, uplink optics, management mode and support term. This information helps distinguish the base non-PoE model from PoE alternatives and prevents missing accessories from the bill of materials.
Availability, licensing, delivery schedules, service visits, vendor lead times and project scope can vary between the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. Buyers should confirm the destination, exact model, quantity, preferred license or support duration, deployment location and required timeline before placing an order. For Kuwait-related coordination, organisations may also review FourTeck Kuwait information. No assumption should be made about local inventory, customs timing or a fixed installation date until the specific project has been reviewed.
Africa Availability
For organisations evaluating the FS-624F for projects in Africa, FourTeck can help structure the requirement around the switch, optics, support, licensing and deployment dependencies. Regional procurement often benefits from early confirmation of power requirements, fibre standards, transceiver distances, destination, quantity and whether equipment will be integrated with an existing FortiGate environment. If installation or remote configuration support is expected, include that information at the quotation stage so the service requirement can be assessed alongside the hardware.
Fulfilment can depend on the destination market, vendor lead time, model availability, quantity, shipping arrangements and local project conditions. Buyers in East Africa and other African regions should share the destination country, required schedule and support expectations for accurate guidance. FourTeck maintains regional information for Kenya technology requirements, Uganda projects and broader Africa technology coordination. Local inventory, customs outcomes, guaranteed delivery and country-wide onsite coverage should not be assumed without project-specific confirmation.

What buyers usually need to know before shortlisting this switch
A common question is whether the FS-624F is simply a faster 24-port access switch. That description is incomplete. Its value comes from the combination of multi-gig copper, high-speed SFP28 uplinks, enterprise switching functions and the option to operate within a Fortinet-managed LAN architecture. It therefore makes the most sense when a buyer has a specific reason to move beyond one-gigabit access or wants to standardise a higher-capacity campus design. If most connected devices are standard office endpoints and uplinks remain lightly used, a lower-tier model may be more proportionate.
Yes, when the switch is being bought for a mixed-speed estate or future refresh. Multi-gig ports can serve gigabit devices while providing higher negotiated speeds to compatible endpoints. The business case should still be based on actual device plans rather than assumed future demand.
From a data-rate perspective, multi-gig copper can be appropriate for modern access points. The deciding issue is power: FS-624F does not supply PoE. If the access points rely on switch-delivered power, a PoE design is required.
Another buyer concern is whether the four SFP28 ports are automatically 25GbE uplinks in every deployment. The hardware provides 25GbE-capable SFP28 interfaces, but real links depend on the chosen optics, peer equipment, fibre plant and configuration. Organisations migrating from older 10GbE cores should verify supported transceiver combinations and negotiation before purchase. If the upstream layer will also be refreshed, it can be more efficient to design access and distribution together so optic counts, fibre pairs and redundancy are correct from the beginning.
Management is also frequently misunderstood. A FortiSwitch does not have to be treated as an isolated device. Fortinet supports direct management through FortiGate, which can be attractive for organisations already using Fortinet firewalls and wanting a more unified LAN operational model. Standalone operation remains available, but advanced routing requirements can introduce license dependencies. Cloud management is another choice and has its own subscription considerations. The buyer should therefore specify not only what traffic the switch must carry, but who will manage it and from where.
A useful quotation request is architectural, not just commercial
Instead of sending only “price for FS-624F,” include the quantity, destination, required support term, expected management mode, endpoint speeds, uplink design, optic distances, redundant-power requirement and whether configuration is needed. That information reduces revisions and makes it easier to compare quotes on a like-for-like basis.
Buyers also ask whether the base switch includes everything needed for deployment. The chassis is only one part of the implementation. Fibre uplinks may require transceivers and patch leads. Redundant power may require an additional power supply. Support should be selected for the desired term. Advanced standalone routing can require the appropriate software license. Rack power, cable management and existing copper cabling should also be checked. A complete bill of materials is especially important on multi-site projects because missing optics or power components can delay a cutover even when the switch itself has arrived.
For security-focused buyers, MACsec support is relevant when Ethernet links themselves need protection. It can be useful for inter-switch connections or other supported peer links where layer-2 encryption is part of the architecture. However, the feature should be validated against the intended FortiSwitchOS release, peer capability and key-management approach. It is not a substitute for network segmentation, firewall policy, identity controls or higher-layer encryption where those controls are required.
Finally, availability and price should be treated as current commercial variables rather than permanent product specifications. Public market prices vary by region, reseller, support inclusion and stock position. UAE buyers should request a current quotation for the exact chassis, support term, accessories and services required. FourTeck can help compare the base FS-624F with the PoE variant or larger 600 Series models when the requirement is still being refined.
Decision questions that prevent the wrong switch purchase
Will the switch power wireless access points, IP phones or cameras?
Direct answer: not on the FS-624F base model. It is the non-PoE variant. If powered endpoints are part of the design, calculate the device power budget and compare the FS-624F-FPOE or another appropriate PoE switch. Using external injectors can be valid in some cases, but it changes cabling, power, fault isolation and maintenance.
Do we need 25GbE optics on day one?
Direct answer: only if the uplink design requires them. The SFP28 interfaces provide capability, but the correct module depends on the peer switch, fibre type and distance. If current distribution equipment is 10GbE, verify the supported optical design rather than buying 25GbE modules that cannot be used immediately.
Can the switch work without a FortiGate?
Direct answer: yes, FortiSwitch supports standalone operation. The operational and licensing model is different from FortiGate-managed deployment. If dynamic routing or other advanced standalone functions are required, confirm feature support and the Advanced Switching license for the 600 Series.
What should be checked in the existing copper cabling?
Direct answer: verify cable category, run length, termination quality and test results on links expected to operate above 1GbE. Multi-gig Ethernet can reuse copper infrastructure in many designs, but actual supported speed is constrained by the physical channel. Testing representative links before a large rollout is good practice.
When does redundant power become worth adding?
Direct answer: when switch availability is important enough that a single power-supply failure should not interrupt service. Fortinet lists FS-PSU-350 as the redundant AC power option for the FS-624F. The value is greater when separate upstream power feeds or protected circuits are also available.
What information gives FourTeck enough detail to size the quote?
Direct answer: share model quantity, destination, endpoint speeds, PoE needs, uplink speed and distance, management mode, support term, redundancy requirement and any installation or configuration scope. This is enough to identify the major dependencies before a formal bill of materials is prepared.
Why businesses contact FourTeck for FortiSwitch planning
The practical value is requirement clarification. A model number alone does not show whether the buyer needs PoE, redundant power, specific optics, cloud management, advanced routing licenses or implementation services. FourTeck can review these dependencies before the order is finalised and help prepare a cleaner bill of materials.
For organisations standardising on Fortinet, FourTeck can also discuss how the switch fits with the wider LAN and firewall environment, including FortiGate integration and migration planning. Where a project spans switching, security and services, visit the FourTeck Firewall Dubai technology portal or learn more about FourTeck.
Quotation coordination, installation planning and support selection remain dependent on the exact project. FourTeck does not need to treat every FS-624F requirement as identical; the objective is to match the model and related components to the network the customer is actually building.
Frequently asked questions about the FortiSwitch FS-624F
Is the Fortinet FS-624F a PoE switch?
