Answer:
In short, the FortiSwitch 108F-POE has a Power over Ethernet (PoE) budget of 65W, while the FortiSwitch 108F-FPOE has PoE budget of 130W.
Which one is right for me?
Deciding between the 108F-POE and the 108F-FPOE will depend on your deployment scenario. If you are planning to only run one or two PoE powered devices downstream of the FortiSwitch, you'll probably be fine with the F-POE. If you're planning to run a full load of PoE devices (e.g. a floor's worth of access points), you'll probably want to opt for the F-FPOE.
To get the most accurate answer, you should add up the PoE consumption of the planned downstream devices to determine the capacity you need. Remember to leave some room for future expansion!
