Compact firewall appliance for branch offices

The Partaker 16G is a desktop network security device built around a 12th Gen Intel Core i5-1235U processor with 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 128GB NVME SSD. It ships with six Intel 2.5GbE LAN ports and supports OPNsense, pfSense or RouterOS for VPN, routing and intrusion prevention tasks. Buyers who need 10GbE uplinks or more than six copper ports should look elsewhere.

Build integration and expansion headroom

The chassis provides one M.2 2280 slot for additional NVME storage, one 2.5 inch SATA bay and three M.2 expansion sockets covering E-key WiFi6, B-key 4G/5G and 2242 form factors. Dual display outputs via HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4a allow local console access while the six RJ-45 interfaces handle WAN, LAN and DMZ segmentation without extra switches. The 12V DC input accepts 100-240V AC through the included adapter.

Sustained load behaviour

A 15W TDP combined with an active and passive cooling system keeps the CPU within its commercial temperature range of 0°C to 50°C under continuous firewall and VPN throughput. The PWM fan adjusts speed based on thermal load so acoustic output remains low during 24/7 operation. The aluminium enclosure acts as a heatsink, ensuring stable performance during prolonged encryption and packet inspection workloads.
