FG-50G and FG-51G interface groups from the datasheet’s interface list, in its numbering order. A schematic, not to scale. The -SFP, -SFP-POE, -5G and -DSL variants have different port layouts; see the datasheet.
FortiGate 50G price and part numbers
Every part number we would put on a quote for this model, grouped the way you buy: the box alone, the box with a security bundle, or a renewal for a box you already own. Terms are 1, 3 or 5 years.
Fortinet list price (as of 2026-09-07), from the Fortinet Americas 2026 MidQ3 Price List. Your quote confirms current pricing, tax and shipping.
Six 50G-family part numbers, each with its own bundle and renewal SKUs: the 51G adds a 64 GB SSD; the -SFP adds a GE SFP port for a fiber handoff; the -SFP-POE has PoE+ ports and its own 54 V adapter; the -5G a built-in cellular WAN modem; the -DSL a DSL port. The specs, port map and photo on this page are for the 50G and 51G. The other variants differ in ports, so we check their figures in the datasheet before quoting. The 51G-SFP-POE and 51G-5G are also on the price list; ask by part number.
Bundle note. Fortinet’s current 50G datasheet (2026-09-29) notes that Content Disarm and Reconstruct, DNS and video filtering, and inline CASB are not available on the 30G and 50G series in any FortiOS build, although Fortinet’s bundle descriptions include them.

Source: Fortinet FortiGate / FortiWiFi 50G Series datasheet, FGFWF-50G-DAT-R18-20260929 (2026-09-29). Fortinet states all performance values as “up to”. IPS, application control, NGFW and threat protection are measured with logging enabled; NGFW with firewall, IPS and application control on; threat protection adds malware protection. IPsec uses AES256-SHA256. SSL inspection uses an average of HTTPS sessions across cipher suites. Figures are the datasheet’s FG-50G/51G column.
SSL-VPN status. No SSL-VPN on the 50G family: Fortinet’s datasheet lists SSL-VPN throughput and users as “—”. Remote access is IPsec (IKEv2), rated at 250 client-to-gateway tunnels, or ZTNA. Fortinet: FortiOS 7.6.3 release notes. Background: FortiGate SSL-VPN migration.
FortiGate 50G vs 30G and 70G
The neighbouring models, compared on the same datasheet figures.
Against the 30G, the 50G more than doubles threat protection (1.1 Gbps against 500 Mbps) and adds a LAN port, USB and VDOMs for $1,093 against $697 at list.
The 70G ($1,562 list) is a step up in ports more than inspection: ten gigabit ports with two WAN, a PoE variant, threat protection of 1.3 Gbps against 1.1 Gbps, and twice the firewall throughput (10 against 5 Gbps). If a switch behind the firewall handles the LAN, the 50G is usually enough.
Datasheet figures and Fortinet list price: FortiGate 30G, FortiGate 50G, FortiGate 70G
What we check before this model goes on a quote, from the engineer who sizes, stages and installs it.
What it replaces
We check your current unit’s lifecycle dates and Trade-Up eligibility per serial number rather than publish a guessed mapping. See FortiGate end-of-life replacement. The 50G is our usual pick when a managed switch handles the LAN and the circuit is between about 300 Mbps and 1 Gbps.
Which variant
Plain 50G for a copper handoff. The -SFP when the ISP hands off on fiber. The -SFP-POE to power a couple of access points or phones without a PoE switch. The -5G for a cellular primary or backup circuit (the carrier plan is separate). The -DSL only where DSL is the circuit. The 51G versions add local storage.
HA pair
The datasheet lists Active-Active, Active-Passive and Clustering. There is no dedicated HA port: heartbeat runs over data ports, and Fortinet recommends at least two heartbeat links. Each unit carries its own bundle. With five ports per unit, a 50G pair works for a simple site but leaves little room; a single 70G or 90G is often the better spend.
Sizing caveats
Size to threat-protection throughput (1.1 Gbps), not the 5 Gbps firewall figure. SSL deep inspection is 1.3 Gbps and 699 new inspected sessions per second on the datasheet. Five VDOMs at most. Logs go to FortiAnalyzer, FortiAnalyzer Cloud ($216.30 per year list) or FortiGate Cloud; the 51G ($1,246 list) adds a 64 GB SSD.
Licensing gotchas
A bare FG-50G gets 1 year of hardware coverage but only 90 days of firmware and ticket support. A 1-year UTP renewal lists at $504.70. Renewal SKUs differ for every variant (GT50G, GT51G, F50GS, F50GP, F50G5, F50GD), so we match them to the serial. The datasheet says Content Disarm and Reconstruct, DNS and video filtering, and inline CASB are not available on the 50G series. Unregistered contracts auto-start 60 days after shipment in the US and Canada.
Remote access

FortiGate 50G questions
How much does a FortiGate 50G cost?
Fortinet list price is $1,093 for the appliance alone, $1,597.70 with 1 year of FortiCare Premium and UTP, $2,455.69 for 3 years and $3,237.98 for 5 years (price list effective 2026-09-07). Your quote confirms current pricing, tax and shipping.
What is the difference between the 50G, 51G, 50G-SFP, 50G-SFP-POE, 50G-5G and 50G-DSL?
The 51G adds a 64 GB SSD ($1,246 list). The 50G-SFP adds a GE SFP port ($1,195). The 50G-SFP-POE has PoE+ ports and an SFP port ($1,837). The 50G-5G has a built-in 3G/4G/LTE/5G modem ($2,380). The 50G-DSL has a DSL module ($1,469). Each uses its own bundle and renewal part numbers.
Does the FortiGate 50G support SSL-VPN?
No. Fortinet’s datasheet lists SSL-VPN throughput and users as “—” for the 50G series. Plan remote users on IPsec (IKEv2) or ZTNA.
How many users can a FortiGate 50G handle?
We size it for roughly 10 to 25 users on a 300 Mbps to 1 Gbps circuit (see our sizing guide), with a managed switch doing the LAN. Threat protection is 1.1 Gbps with all profiles on; heavy SSL inspection or a circuit above 1 Gbps points to the 70G or 90G.
Can two FortiGate 50Gs run as an HA pair?
Yes. The datasheet lists Active-Active, Active-Passive and Clustering. Each unit needs its own bundle, and with no dedicated HA port the heartbeat links use data ports, so check the port count before choosing HA on a five-port box.
Do I need a license, or can I buy just the hardware?
You can buy the appliance alone, but every FortiGate we sell carries at least FortiCare ($144.20 per year list for FortiCare Premium on a 50G), because the bare unit gets only 90 days of firmware. A bundle adds FortiGuard UTP or Enterprise Protection.
What is the lead time for a FortiGate 50G?
We do not quote a standard lead time. It depends on Fortinet supply and distributor stock for the exact part number, so we check stock when we quote and confirm it on the quote.
