Hardware TZ480

Configuration Hardware Only

  • Firewall inspection throughput reaches 4 Gbps for fast traffic handling
  • Threat prevention throughput of 2 Gbps blocks malware in real time
  • Eight 1 GbE copper ports plus two 5G/2.5G/1G SFP uplinks provide flexible connectivity
  • Centralised management via Network Security Manager simplifies multi-site operations
  • Zero-Touch Deployment and SonicExpress App onboarding accelerate branch rollout

Small-org SD-Branch firewall

The SonicWall TZ480 (03-SSC-1835) is a desktop security appliance built for small organisations and distributed enterprises running SD-Branch sites. It runs SonicOS 8 and provides eight 1GbE copper ports, two 5G/2.5G/1G SFP uplinks, a Micro-USB console and a USB-C port. Optional storage expansion reaches 512 Gb.

Sustained threat-prevention throughput

Under continuous inspection the unit delivers 2.0 Gbps anti-malware throughput, 2.2 Gbps IPS throughput and 2.2 Gbps VPN throughput while maintaining up to 1,200,000 concurrent connections and 18,000 new connections per second. Deep-packet inspection services — gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention and TLS decryption — run at these rates without burst-only peaks.

Replaces single-gigabit edge boxes

Sites still limited to 1GbE uplinks and lacking SD-WAN or zero-touch onboarding gain multi-gig SFP flexibility, secure SD-WAN and centralised NSM management in one step. The jump is worth it when branch count grows beyond what legacy desktop firewalls can automate and when threat-prevention throughput must stay above 2 Gbps.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the TZ480 generate when it runs continuously at its 13.77 W maximum power draw?

At 13.77 W the appliance produces a modest thermal load that a typical small-server room or ventilated cabinet handles without extra cooling.

Which cables and modules must I already have to use the 8 x 1GbE RJ45 and 2 x 5G/2.5G/1G SFP ports on this appliance?

You need standard Cat5e or better Ethernet patch cords for the RJ45 ports and compatible SFP transceivers with matching fibre or copper cables for the SFP slots.

Can the TZ480 manage a SonicWave access point that only supports Wi-Fi 6 while keeping older wired switches on the same network?

Yes, the firewall includes Wi-Fi 6 management and its 1GbE and multi-gigabit SFP interfaces interoperate with legacy switches without configuration conflicts.
