Purpose-built firewall platform

The Partaker 16G is a compact desktop appliance built around an Intel Core i7-1255U processor with ten cores and twelve threads reaching 4.7GHz turbo. It ships with 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 512GB NVMe SSD, providing a ready-to-deploy platform for OPNsense or similar routing distributions. Six Intel I226-V 2.5GbE ports deliver high-throughput wired connectivity for multi-WAN or segmented LAN designs. The fan-cooled aluminium chassis measures 186 by 126.5 by 66mm and weighs 1.3kgs.

Sustained-load behaviour

The 15W TDP processor is cooled by a PWM-controlled fan combined with passive heat-spreaders, allowing continuous 24/7 operation across a 0°C to 50°C commercial range or -20°C to 50°C with an industrial SSD. Watchdog timing, PXE boot and automatic power-on after loss of mains keep services running without manual intervention. Dual 4K display outputs via HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4a remain available for local console or monitoring dashboards during extended uptime.

Pre-deployment checklist

Verify that your rack, shelf or desktop space accommodates the 186 by 126.5 by 66mm footprint and that ambient temperature stays within the stated operating window. Confirm the 12V DC power input matches your supply infrastructure and that cabling for six RJ-45 links is planned. If wireless or cellular backhaul is required, check compatibility with the M.2 2230 E-key and 3052 B-key slots before ordering modules. Buyers needing PoE on LAN ports one to four must arrange the optional paid upgrade separately.

Questions about this item

How much power does the i7-1255U draw and does the fan stay quiet under continuous load?

The processor has a 15W TDP and the unit uses a PWM-controlled fan with active and passive cooling designed for 24/7 operation.

Which cables and modules must I already have to use the six 2.5GbE ports and the expansion slots?

You need six RJ-45 cables for the LAN ports; Wi-Fi, 4G/5G or PoE modules are optional and not included.

Will my existing Cat5e patch leads limit the 2.5GbE throughput on this appliance?

Cat5e supports 2.5GBASE-T up to 100 metres, so your current cables will not bottleneck the six I226-V ports.
