FG-TRAN-LX SFP compatible with FG200F or not

[Mmustafa]

Dear Team,

One of our customer is moving from FG300D firewall to 200F, however wants to know if we can re use the SFPs of 300D firewall in 200F firewall. based on Fortigate 200F data sheet, the SKU has changed from FG-TRAN-LX/SX/GC to FN-TRAN-LX/SX/GC.
Could you please confirm if FG-TRAN-LX/SX/GC can be reused on 200F ?

Hi @Mmustafa

Thank you for updating your query.

FG- is an old SKU. Fortinet used to have separate transceivers for Fortigate (FG-) and Fortiswitch (FS-). Now SKU has FN-.

As per 200F and 300D datasheets both the transceiver is showing the same description and supported parameters.

200F Datasheet:-

1 GE SFP RJ45 transceiver module FN-TRAN-GC 1 GE SFP RJ45 transceiver module for all systems with SFP and SFP/SFP+slots.
1 GE SFP SX transceiver module FN-TRAN-SX 1 GE SFP SX transceiver module for all systems with SFP and SFP/SFP+ slots.
1 GE SFP LX transceiver module FN-TRAN-LX 1 GE SFP LX transceiver module for all systems with SFP and SFP/SFP+ slots

Hi Priyanka,
Thanks for the quick reply, since the parameters of the FG and FN transceivers are same as you described above with reference to data sheets, I am considering that the existing SFP of 300D can be reused in 200F firewall. Let me know if I am going wrong here.
