Partaker R6-C3808-8G-128G firewall appliance

1U firewall appliance with 10G SFP+

The Partaker R6-C3808-8G-128G is a 1U rack-mountable firewall appliance built around an Intel Atom C3808 processor with AES-NI hardware encryption. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a 128 GB NVME SSD, ready for open-source platforms such as OPNsense or pfSense. The unit targets small-to-medium enterprises that need high-throughput packet inspection in a compact form factor.

Four 10G SFP+ ports and six 1G RJ-45 ports

Network I/O consists of four SFP+ optical ports driven by an Intel X553 controller plus six Gigabit RJ-45 ports split between I211 and I350 controllers. The SFP+ interfaces deliver 10 Gbps fibre connectivity while the copper ports handle standard LAN segments. Total throughput is bounded by the Atom C3808's 2.0 GHz clock and 25 W TDP, so sustained line-rate processing on all ten ports simultaneously may exceed the CPU capacity.

Replaces older 1G-only appliances when 10G uplinks

This platform upgrades sites that have outgrown pure Gigabit firewalls and now require 10 Gbps fibre uplinks to core switches or ISP handoffs. The jump is worth it when traffic profiles regularly saturate 1G links or when IPsec VPN throughput demands AES-NI acceleration at multi-gigabit speeds. Buyers who need only copper connectivity or who require higher single-thread performance for deep packet inspection should evaluate alternatives.
