Sophos XGS 88 Desktop Firewall

The Sophos XGS 88 is a desktop firewall appliance built for small offices and branch sites that need wired 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It runs on an Intel x86 CPU with 4 GB of LPDDR5 memory and 16 GB of eMMC storage. The unit includes a one-year Standard Protection licence bundle covering base firewall, network protection, web protection and central orchestration.

Fanless Build with Four 2.5G Ports

A fanless chassis measuring 200 x 180 x 44 mm and weighing 1.4 kg suits noise-sensitive environments such as reception desks or open-plan workspaces. Four RJ-45 ports each deliver 2.5 GBase-T speeds alongside a dedicated management port, a micro-USB console port, one USB 3.0 Type-A and one USB 2.0 Type-A. No expansion slots or internal drive bays are present, so the configuration is fixed at deployment.

Low Power Draw and Silent Operation

With no moving parts the appliance runs silently and the redesigned architecture targets 50% lower power consumption than earlier desktop models. MTBF is rated at 936,308 hours, indicating high reliability for continuous operation. Firewall throughput reaches 9,900 Mbps while TLS 1.3 inspection runs at 600 Mbps and threat protection, IPS and NGFW each sustain 2,000 Mbps.

Questions about this item

What throughput does the 2.5 GBase-T interface cap at for TLS 1.3 inspection?

The four 2.5 GBase-T ports provide up to 600 Mbps of TLS 1.3 inspection throughput.

What rack space and clearance does the 200 x 180 x 44 mm desktop chassis require?

The fanless desktop unit measures 200 mm wide, 180 mm deep and 44 mm high, weighing 1.4 kg, so it fits on a shelf or desk without rack rails.

How is the initial licence activated, and which step is often missed?

Register the appliance in Sophos Central, then apply the included 12‑month Standard Protection licence; skipping the Central registration leaves the device unlicensed.
