Desktop firewall with PoE ports

The Palo Alto Networks PA-445 is a desktop-form-factor next-generation firewall delivering 2.7 Gbps app-mix firewall throughput and 1.25 Gbps threat-prevention throughput. It handles up to 200,000 concurrent sessions and 34,000 new sessions per second, with IPsec VPN throughput of 1.1 Gbps. Organisations needing integrated switching and security in a single appliance will find the four PoE ports convenient.

PoE budget and management I/O

The four 1 Gbps PoE RJ45 ports supply up to 91 W total, powering access points or cameras without separate injectors. A combo SFP/RJ45 management port, a dedicated RJ45 console port, two USB ports and a micro-USB port give multiple out-of-band access options. Zero Touch Provisioning and Panorama central management simplify large-scale rollouts.

Gigabit interface and throughput limits

All data ports operate at 1 Gbps, so aggregate throughput cannot exceed the physical link speed regardless of the 2.7 Gbps firewall rating. The 146 W maximum power draw at 100-240 VAC includes the PoE budget, requiring adequate cooling in dense racks. Virtual systems are limited to two, constraining multi-tenancy scenarios.

Questions about this item

How often do the fan filters need cleaning or replacement on the PA-445?

The PA-445 is a desktop unit with no user-serviceable fan filters; keep the vents clear of dust and ensure adequate airflow around the 1.66" H x 8.87" D x 13" W chassis.

At what point does the 91 W PoE budget limit connected devices?

The four PoE 1G RJ45 ports share a 91 W pool; once the combined draw of attached endpoints reaches that ceiling, additional devices will not power up until load drops.

How loud and hot does the PA-445 get when running 24/7 at full threat-prevention throughput?

At 1.25 Gbps threat-prevention load the appliance draws up to 146 W total, so expect measurable fan noise and warm exhaust; mount in a ventilated rack or shelf to dissipate heat.
