SOPHOS HM2N2S00ZZPCAA Flexi Port module, 2 port 10GE NBASE-T and 2 port 10GE SFP+ (for XGS 2xxx/3xxx/4xxx models)
The networking landscape is evolving rapidly, with multi-gigabit speeds becoming the new standard for enterprise connectivity.
The new 2-port 10 GE NBASE-T + 2-port 10 GE SFP+ Flexi Port module addresses critical market needs while positioning Sophos as a leader in multi-gigabit enterprise security solutions. Whether you’re connecting high-speed access points, accommodating faster ISP services, or future-proofing your infrastructure, this module delivers the performance and flexibility modern enterprises demand.
The enterprise market is experiencing a significant shift toward multi-gigabit infrastructure. From base models like the XGS 2100 to top-tier XGS 4500 systems, organizations are demanding higher bandwidth capabilities to support:
- Next-generation Wi-Fi deployments (Wi-Fi 6E/Wi-Fi 7 access points)
- Evolving ISP offerings with 5 GE connections becoming increasingly common
- Future-ready infrastructure that can scale with growing bandwidth demands
Perfect Integration with the Sophos Ecosystem
This new Flexi Port module creates seamless compatibility with the Sophos AP6 access points, most of which feature 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports. This integration enables organizations to build robust, high-performance network stacks that maximize the potential of their Wi Fi 6E and future Wi-Fi 7 deployments without creating bottlenecks.
Addressing Real-World Connectivity Challenges
Multi-Gig ISP Support
As internet service providers increasingly offer 5 GE connections, this module ensures your Sophos Firewall can handle these higher speeds without compromise. No more leaving bandwidth on the table due to infrastructure limitations.
Economic 10 GE Copper Connectivity
This module provides cost-effective access to 1/2.5/5/10 Gbps copper ports with up to 100-meter reach. Previously, customers requiring 10 GE RJ45 copper connectivity on Sophos 1U firewalls had limited options:
Technical Specifications and Capabilities
Port Configuration
2x 10 GE NBASE-T RJ45 ports: Support 1 GE/2.5 GE/5 GE/10 GE speeds
2x 10 GE SFP+ ports: Flexible 1 GE/10 GE fiber connectivity options
Range: Up to 100 meters on copper connections
Speed Flexibility
The module offers excellent speed flexibility with some model-specific considerations:
XGS 2100/2300/3100/3300 Models:
RJ45 ports: Independent speed configuration per port
SFP+ ports: Must operate at the same speed (both 1G or both 10G)
XGS 4300/4500 Models:
Full independence: All four ports can operate at different speeds simultaneously
Maximum flexibility for diverse connectivity requirements
Future-Ready Investment
This Flexi Port module represents more than just an upgrade—it’s a strategic investment in your network’s future. As the market continues its inevitable march toward multi-gigabit speeds for both WAN connections and wireless infrastructure, this module ensures your Sophos Firewall remains at the forefront of performance and capability.
