Desktop firewall for small offices

The Sophos XGS 88w is a desktop security appliance that combines wired and wireless connectivity in a single unit. It provides 4 GB of LPDDR5 memory and 16 GB of eMMC storage for the operating system and logs. Four 2.5GBase-T RJ-45 ports handle LAN and WAN traffic, while integrated Wi-Fi 6 serves wireless clients directly. It is aimed at small businesses needing unified threat management without a separate access point.

Sustained throughput with inspection enabled

Firewall IMIX throughput is rated at 6,500 Mbps, reflecting realistic mixed-packet loads rather than peak bursts. Threat protection, IPS and NGFW throughput each hold at 2,000 Mbps with full inspection active. TLS 1.3 inspection runs at 600 Mbps, so encrypted traffic analysis remains consistent under continuous load. IPsec VPN throughput reaches 6,000 Mbps for site-to-site tunnels.

Fanless design for silent operation

The appliance uses a fanless chassis, eliminating mechanical noise entirely in noise-sensitive environments. Power consumption is approximately 50 % lower than earlier architectures, drawing modest wattage during typical operation. The compact 200 x 180 x 44 mm form factor weighs 1.4 kg unpacked, allowing placement on a desk or shelf without active cooling requirements.

Questions about this item

How much power does the XGS 88w consume when running continuously in a quiet office?

The appliance is fanless and its architecture is designed for 50% lower power consumption, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments without active cooling.

Which cables and subscriptions are required before the four 2.5GBase-T ports can pass traffic?

You need RJ-45 cables for each 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet link and an active Sophos licence bundle such as Standard Protect to enable firewall, IPS and web filtering features.

Will the XGS 88w manage traffic from older Gigabit Ethernet switches without slowing the network?

The 2.5GBase-T ports auto-negotiate down to Gigabit and Fast Ethernet speeds, so legacy switches connect directly and operate at their rated throughput.
