The Rackmount Watchguard T185 [PoE] is a rackmount network security device designed for enterprise and data center environments, offering Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities to simplify network deployment. This 1U rackmount device provides comprehensive network security with firewall protection, VPN connectivity, and threat management in a compact chassis measuring 44.5 cm in width, 4.4 cm in height, and 30.5 cm in depth, weighing approximately 4.5 kg. The successor to earlier Watchguard rackmount devices features eight PoE-capable Gigabit Ethernet ports that deliver up to 30 W per port and support the Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) standard, allowing for the connection of wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones without the need for separate power supplies. It offers dual power supply support for redundancy, a hot-swappable storage bay for up to two 2.5-inch solid-state drives, and hardware-accelerated encryption for VPN throughput of up to 850 Mbps. The device operates in a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C and includes extensive security services such as intrusion prevention, application control, and web filtering. The metal construction ensures durability in rack environments, while the integrated management system allows for centralized configuration and monitoring via a web-based interface. The device supports various deployment scenarios including branch connectivity, remote access VPN, and perimeter security with throughput capabilities for networks with up to 500 concurrent users.
