Firewall appliance with six 2.5GbE ports

The Partaker H2 is a compact desktop network appliance built around an Intel Core i5-1235U processor with 8GB of DDR4 memory and a 128GB NVME SSD. It ships ready for OPNsense, pfSense or RouterOS deployments. Six Intel I226-V LAN ports provide high-throughput wired connectivity for multi-WAN or segmented LAN designs. A silent PWM fan and all-aluminium chassis keep the 15W TDP cool without noise.

Six Intel I226-V 2.5GbE ports

The single specification that decides fit is the six-port 2.5GbE array backed by AES-NI acceleration on the 12th-generation Core i5. This combination delivers wire-speed routing, VPN encryption and intrusion-prevention throughput for small-to-medium enterprise perimeters. TPM 2.0 hardware roots trust for secure boot and key storage. The 8GB dual-channel DDR4 configuration handles concurrent connection tables and logging without paging.

Expands with WiFi6 and 4G/5G modules

Three M.2 slots accept a WiFi6 E-key card, a 4G/5G B-key modem and a 2280 NVME drive simultaneously, letting the box serve as a wireless controller or failover gateway. Dual 4K display outputs via HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a support local dashboard monitoring. USB 3.1 Gen2, USB 2.0 and a COM port provide console and peripheral access. The 12V DC input operates from 100-240V AC mains.

Questions about this item

How much throughput can the six 2.5 GbE ports actually push in a live network?

Each port connects to an Intel I226-V controller rated for 2.5 Gbps, so the appliance can handle multi-gigabit routing and VPN workloads across all six interfaces simultaneously.

What expansion standards do the three M.2 slots use and what modules do they accept?

One M.2 2230 E-key slot takes WiFi6 cards, one M.2 3052 B-key slot uses USB 3.0 protocol for 4G/5G modems, and one M.2 2280 M-key slot supports NVME SSDs.

What are the exact dimensions and mounting requirements for rack or shelf installation?

The unit measures 186 x 126.5 x 66 mm and weighs 1.3 kg; it uses a fan-cooled aluminium chassis with no integrated rack ears, so it sits on a shelf or needs a third-party tray.
