Who it is for
More ports than the firewall has
Add ports through a FleXi Port slot instead of buying a bigger firewall.
Fiber or faster uplinks
SFP, SFP+ or QSFP+ ports take transceivers for fiber runs between buildings or fast links to core switches.
Plan for growth
Buy the firewall size you need today and add ports later as the network grows.
What is included
- 8 x 10GbE SFP+ ports in one module.
- Transceivers sold separately: plan one Sophos transceiver per SFP, SFP+ or QSFP+ port you use.
- No license to activate: it is hardware for the firewall and works with your existing subscription.
Module slots: the Sophos XGS 5500 quick start guide shows slots A and B for FleXi Port modules and slot C for High-Density FleXi Port modules; the XGS 6500 adds slot D. Slot counts differ by model, so send us your model and we will confirm where this module goes.
