Fortinet compatible FS-TRAN-SFP+GC Description
EdgeOptic's Fortinet FS-TRAN-SFP+GC compatible is a Fortinet-coded 10GBASE-T copper SFP+ transceiver for FortiSwitch managed switches. The FS- prefix identifies this part as the FortiSwitch product family SKU; the sibling FN-TRAN-SFP+GC covers the FortiGate firewall product family and is coded for that ecosystem instead. Engineers ordering for FortiSwitch SFP+ cages should request the FS- variant on this page; FortiGate deployments belong on the FN-TRAN-SFP+GC compatible page. EdgeOptic programs the module EEPROM with Fortinet-recognised vendor identity for FortiSwitch hosts.
The transceiver operates per IEEE 802.3an for 10GBASE-T, IEEE 802.3bz for 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T, and IEEE 802.3ab for 1000BASE-T fallback. Reach is up to 30 m on Cat6a or Cat7 unshielded twisted-pair. The electrical and management interfaces follow SFF-8431 and SFF-8432, which are the governing MSAs for SFP+ class copper modules. Operating temperature covers 0 to 65 °C commercial grade, with CE and RoHS certification. The module draws more power than a fibre SFP+ and requires a high-power SFP+ cage, which FortiSwitch SFP+ cages on the supported platforms meet.
Because the FS-TRAN-SFP+GC is a copper module, DOM telemetry is scoped to the fields that apply to a non-optical SFP+: case temperature, supply voltage, and link status. There is no laser, so transmit optical power, receive optical power, and laser bias current do not exist on this part and are not reported. Management tooling that expects optical DDM values should be configured to treat this module as a copper transceiver.
Target deployment is the FortiSwitch managed-switch product family, including FortiSwitch 400F, 500D, 1000D and the T-series models. A common deployment pattern is FortiLink, where a FortiSwitch is managed through a FortiGate uplink: in that topology, the FortiSwitch side of the link uses the FS-TRAN-SFP+GC, and the FortiGate uplink uses the FN-TRAN-SFP+GC SKU. Fortinet publishes a FortiSwitch transceiver compatibility document that lists the validated modules per switch model; consult the current document for the specific FortiSwitch chassis before ordering. This part is not the FortiGate variant; for FortiGate firewalls, use the FN-TRAN-SFP+GC compatible instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which FortiSwitch models does Fortinet validate the FS-TRAN-SFP+GC against, and where is that list published?
Fortinet publishes a FortiSwitch Compatible Transceivers document on the Fortinet documentation portal that lists validated SFP+ modules per FortiSwitch model. The 10GBASE-T copper SFP+ option appears under the FS-TRAN-SFP+GC SKU for FortiSwitch 400F, 500D, 1000D, and the T-series models in current releases of that document. The document is revised with new FortiSwitch models and FortiOS releases; confirm the current revision for the target FortiSwitch chassis before ordering quantities.
For a FortiLink deployment, should both the FortiSwitch and the FortiGate uplink use the FS-TRAN-SFP+GC?
No. A FortiLink uplink connects two distinct Fortinet product families: the FortiSwitch is on one side of the SFP+ copper link, the FortiGate firewall is on the other side. Fortinet provides two SKUs for the same electrical 10GBASE-T SFP+ class, coded per family: the FS-TRAN-SFP+GC is intended for the FortiSwitch end of the FortiLink, and the FN-TRAN-SFP+GC is intended for the FortiGate end. Order one of each per FortiLink, matched to the cage on each chassis. See the FN-TRAN-SFP+GC compatible page for the FortiGate side.
