Compact firewall appliance for software routers

The Partaker C5 is a fanless desktop unit built around an Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core processor with AES-NI support. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4-2400 memory and a 512 GB M.2 2280 SATA SSD. Four Intel I210/I211-AT Gigabit LAN ports provide wired throughput for routing, VPN and firewall workloads.

Sustained load behaviour with passive cooling

The 10 W TDP chassis relies on an all-aluminium case measuring 144 x 126.5 x 42 mm to dissipate heat without fans. Operating temperature ranges from 0 °C to 50 °C with commercial drives or -20 °C to 60 °C with industrial SSDs. The CPU maintains a 2.0 GHz base clock and can boost to 2.7 GHz within this thermal envelope.

Check your mounting and storage plans

Verify that VESA, DIN-rail or desktop mounting suits the intended location. Confirm the 12 V 4 A DC input matches your power infrastructure. Note the single SODIMM slot supports up to 32 GB of DDR4 and the 2.5-inch SATA bay remains available for additional storage. The Mini PCIe and M.2 2230 E-key slots accept optional 4G, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth modules.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the 10 W TDP fanless design produce when running 24/7?

The fanless chassis dissipates a 10 W TDP passively, so it runs silently with minimal heat even under continuous load.

What do I need to add before the unit can boot a firewall OS?

The box includes 8 GB DDR4-2400 RAM and a 512 GB M.2 2280 SATA SSD, so no extra memory or storage is required to start.

Will my existing Cat 5e patch cables work with the four Intel I210/I211-AT Gigabit ports?

Yes, the four RJ-45 ports auto-negotiate 10/100/1000 Mbps, so standard Cat 5e or better cables connect without changes.
