Fortinet compatible FN-TRAN-GC Description
EdgeOptic's FN-TRAN-GC compatible is a Fortinet-coded version of the EdgeOptic 1000M-SFP-MI multi-vendor 1000BASE-T SFP transceiver. The module runs Gigabit Ethernet only, per 1000BASE-T (IEEE 802.3ab), with no 10 or 100 Mbps operation. Fortinet's own Transceivers datasheet groups FN-TRAN-GC and FS-TRAN-GC under one combined table entry, describing both ordering codes as the same 1 GE SFP RJ45 module.
The FN-TRAN-GC compatible links at 1000 Mbps only; it does not negotiate to 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. Reach is 100 m over Category 5 twisted-pair copper through the RJ45 connector. The EdgeOptic 1000M-SFP-MI module carries a full industrial range of −45°C to +85°C and runs from a +3.3V supply. Fortinet's own datasheet separately documents the combined FN-TRAN-GC/FS-TRAN-GC module for extended-temperature service, citing −40°C to 85°C for the OEM part.
When the FN-TRAN-GC is installed in a FortiSwitch unit, Fortinet documentation specifies the set speed 1000auto command on the switch port so the port negotiates correctly with the copper module. Do not confuse the FN-TRAN-GC with the FN-TRAN-SFP+GC, which is a separate 10GBASE-T SFP+ module with a 30 m reach for 10 Gigabit ports. The two parts use different form factors and serve different link speeds, so order against the speed the host port runs.
FortiGate and FortiSwitch platforms with SFP-based copper Gigabit ports accept the FN-TRAN-GC compatible for security-edge and branch deployments that need GE copper uplinks or LAN interconnects. Reach is 100 m over Category 5 twisted-pair copper through the RJ45 connector.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the FN-TRAN-GC require any CLI configuration on FortiSwitch?
Yes. Fortinet documentation states that the set speed 1000auto command is required when an FN-TRAN-GC is used in a FortiSwitch unit. It is configured under config switch physical-port by selecting the port with edit, applying set speed 1000auto, and closing the block with end. Without this setting the copper port may not negotiate a link reliably. The requirement is documented for FortiSwitch specifically; FortiGate behavior should be checked against the relevant Fortinet platform documentation.
What is the difference between Fortinet FN-TRAN-GC and FN-TRAN-SFP+GC?
They are different copper transceivers for different link speeds. The FN-TRAN-GC is a 1 GE SFP module running 1000BASE-T to IEEE 802.3ab with a 100 m reach. The FN-TRAN-SFP+GC is a 10G SFP+ module running 10GBASE-T to IEEE 802.3an with a 30 m reach. A 10 Gigabit port needs the SFP+ part, and a Gigabit port needs the FN-TRAN-GC, so match the module to the speed of the host port to avoid an ordering mistake.
