Compact firewall for small networks

The Sophos XGS 116 is a desktop security appliance aimed at small offices and branch sites that need unified threat management in a single box. It ships with a 1 year Xstream Protection licence so protection features are active from day one. The AMD x86 CPU and Marvell NPU handle inspection tasks while 4 GB DDR4 memory and 64 GB M.2 storage run the operating system and logs. Buyers who need more than eight copper ports or a second expansion slot should look elsewhere.

Passive cooling with external power

An external auto-ranging AC-DC adapter supplies 12 VDC at 12.5 A for a maximum of 150 W, accepting 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz. The desktop chassis measures 320 by 213 by 44 mm and weighs 2.2 kg unpacked, relying on convection and internal airflow rather than a noisy fan tray. MTBF is rated at 210107 hours, indicating a design built for continuous operation. Power draw in typical use stays well within the adapter rating.

Desktop form factor with mixed ports

Eight RJ-45 Gigabit copper ports and one SFP fiber uplink provide flexible LAN and WAN connectivity for copper or fibre links. A front USB 2.0 port and a rear USB 3.0 port allow easy attachment of storage or a 4G dongle without reaching behind the unit. Management access is available through an RJ-45 console port and a micro-USB console port with cable included. The lack of internal expansion slots means the port count is fixed for the life of the appliance.

Questions about this item

How do I rack-mount the Sophos XGS 116 and which bracket orientation avoids blocking the front USB 2.0 port?

The appliance is a 320 x 213 x 44 mm desktop unit; use the optional rack-mount kit and orient the brackets so the 44 mm depth faces forward, keeping the front USB 2.0 port and status LEDs accessible.

What storage maintenance will the 64 GB M.2 SSD need over its lifespan?

The 64 GB M.2 SSD has no RAID redundancy; monitor SMART health via the Sophos Central dashboard and plan a clone-and-replace once the drive reaches its vendor-rated TBW or shows reallocated sectors.

At what sustained throughput does the 150 W external power adapter become the limiting factor?

The 12 VDC, 12.5 A, 150 W adapter caps total system draw; under continuous multi-gigabit inspection with TLS 1.3 decryption the appliance will hit this ceiling before the AMD x86 CPU or Marvell NPU saturate.
