Fortinet FG-TRAN-GC Compatible 1000BASE-T Copper SFP Module

EdgeOptic's FG-TRAN-GC compatible is a Fortinet-coded RJ45 copper version of the EdgeOptic 1000M-SFP-T multi-vendor 10/100/1000BASE-T copper SFP transceiver. Fortinet designates the FG-TRAN-GC as a 1 GE SFP RJ45 module for FortiGate equipment with SFP slots, and this compatible matches that designation for deployments that still specify the FG- ordering code against their installed hardware.

The module carries Gigabit Ethernet over copper to IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T) and auto-negotiates 10/100/1000 Mbps, so it links at 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX rates as well. Reach is 100 m over Cat 5, Cat 5e, or Cat 6 unshielded twisted pair through a standard RJ45 connector, with Auto MDI/MDI-X handling straight-through and crossover cabling. It runs from a +3.3 V supply across the commercial 0 to 70 C range and supports digital diagnostics monitoring. Build is to the SFP Multi-Source Agreement and INF-8074i with CE and RoHS compliance.

EdgeOptic codes the transceiver EEPROM with Fortinet-recognized identification so the host accepts it under the FG-TRAN-GC ordering code. The module is intended for FortiGate appliances with SFP-capable interfaces. Verify the specific FortiGate model against the Fortinet Transceivers documentation for the FortiOS version installed, and consult the FortiOS CLI reference for any port-level speed or media configuration the platform may require for copper SFP modules.

On FortiGate hardware, this module turns an SFP slot into a copper Gigabit interface for connecting to switches, servers, or upstream equipment over existing structured cabling. It suits security-edge and branch deployments where the plant is already wired for RJ45 and a fiber run would add cost without raising the link speed. The 100 m reach over Cat 5e or Cat 6 covers the typical distance between a firewall and the equipment it links to in the same building.

Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor networking platforms, this module is CE and RoHS certified and built to the SFP Multi-Source Agreement. It ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. For deployment questions or volume pricing, contact our sales team.
