PA-1510-POE
1U firewall with 9 Gbps of threat prevention in appmix, 20 copper ports and a 485 W PoE budget.
Overview
The PA-1510-POE serves branches with concentrated Gigabit and multigigabit connections, with eight 10 Gbps optical interfaces and four 1 Gbps interfaces. It powers devices through ports 5 to 20, provides 480 GB of local storage and allows a second power supply to be added. Its published threat prevention result is 9 Gbps in an appmix test. Performance figures are laboratory references under documented conditions; sizing considers the actual project workload and controls.
Key features
- Copper interfaces12 × RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps + 8 × RJ-45 1/2.5/5 Gbps
- PoE power16 PoE ports (5–20), up to 90 W per port, with an aggregate budget of 485 W
- Link resilienceFail-open pairs 3–4 and 5–6 allow traffic to pass during a power or system failure, depending on configuration
- High availabilityDedicated HSCI up to 10 Gbps for HA interconnection
