CWWK F10 4-Port 2.5GbE Firewall Mini PC

The CWWK F10 is a fanless 4-port 2.5GbE firewall mini PC based on CWWK's Pioneer N-Series motherboard. It supports Intel N100, N150, Core i3-N305, and Core 3 N355 processors, four Intel i226-V 2.5GbE LAN ports, DDR5 memory, up to five NVMe SSDs, VESA mounting, optional 8010 fan installation, and a Flagship aluminum chassis with a heat-conduction plate, internal heat pipe, and wider three-sided cooling fins.

Intel N100, N150, N305 and N355 Processor Options

The F10 supports Intel N100, N150, Core i3-N305, and Core 3 N355 processor configurations. N100 and N150 provide low-power options for firewall, routing, VLAN, and VPN workloads, while N305 and N355 provide additional CPU resources for virtualization, containers, and multi-service home lab deployments.

N100 4 cores / 4 threads for OPNsense, pfSense, OpenWrt, routing, VLAN segmentation, VPN, and low-power networking.

N150 4 cores / 4 threads for firewall, routing, VPN, VLAN, and everyday multi-interface network services.

N305 8 cores / 8 threads for Proxmox, virtual firewalls, containers, VPN services, and heavier network workloads.

N355 8 cores / 8 threads for more demanding virtualization and multi-service home lab deployments.

Four Intel i226-V 2.5GbE Network Ports

Four Intel i226-V 2.5GbE LAN ports provide independent physical interfaces for WAN, LAN, VLANs, NAS systems, wireless access points, cameras, IoT devices, and isolated network segments.

4 × 2.5GbE Assign dedicated interfaces to WAN, LAN, NAS, access points, cameras, IoT devices, or independent lab networks.

Multi-WAN Configure multiple physical interfaces for separate upstream connections, failover, or independent gateway routes.

Network Segmentation Separate trusted devices, servers, guests, IoT equipment, and lab systems through physical ports or VLANs.

Pioneer Motherboard with PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe Expansion

The F10 uses CWWK's Pioneer N-Series motherboard with a dedicated NVME1 PCIe 3.0 x4 expansion path. NVME1 can connect to the separately sold NV4-E1 1V4 adapter board, dividing the x4 connection into four PCIe x1 channels for four M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs.

Up to 5 NVMe or 4 NVMe + SATA Storage Expansion

The F10 provides two NVMe storage paths. NVME1 uses PCIe 3.0 x4 with the separately sold NV4-E1 1V4 adapter board to support four M.2 2280 NVMe x1 SSDs. NVME2 provides one additional PCIe 3.0 x1 NVMe connection by converting the M.2 Wi-Fi E-Key interface to M-Key.

NVME1: 4 × NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 connects to the 1V4 adapter board and expands into four M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe x1 SSD positions.

NVME2: +1 NVMe The M.2 Wi-Fi E-Key interface can be converted to M-Key to provide one additional PCIe 3.0 x1 NVMe connection.

Flexible Storage Layout Configure up to five NVMe SSDs, or use four NVMe SSDs together with one SATA3.0 drive.

NVME2 and SATA3.0 cannot be used at the same time. To use the M.2 Wi-Fi interface for a Wi-Fi/BT module, remove the E-Key to M-Key storage adapter and install the wireless module instead.

17.8 × 12.6 × 5.5 cm
7.01 × 4.96 × 2.17 in

Flagship Chassis Fanless Wider Cooling Fins Three-Sided Cooling Heat Pipe Dust-Resistant VESA Mounting

The F10 uses CWWK's Flagship aluminum chassis, measuring 178 × 126 × 55 mm. The enclosure provides a broad passive cooling structure while maintaining a relatively low-profile form factor.

Heat-dissipation fins extend across the top, left, and right sides of the enclosure. Compared with the other Pioneer chassis designs, the F10 uses a wider and more extensive fin structure to provide a larger external surface for passive heat dissipation.

Heat-Conduction Plate and Internal Heat Pipe

The F10 passive thermal system combines a heat-conduction plate, internal heat pipe, aluminum chassis, and the wider three-sided fin structure. Heat is transferred away from the processor area through the internal thermal components and distributed toward the larger external cooling surface.

Heat-Conduction Plate Provides a direct thermal path from the processor area toward the internal cooling structure.

Internal Heat Pipe Transfers thermal energy from the primary heat source toward the surrounding aluminum chassis.

Wider Fin Surface A broader fin structure increases the external surface area available for passive heat dissipation.

Three-Sided Cooling Top, left, and right-side fins distribute heat across multiple external surfaces without continuous fan operation.

8010 Fan and 2.5-Inch SATA Installation

The F10 operates as a fanless system but supports an optional 12V 4-pin 80 × 80 × 10 mm 8010 cooling fan when additional airflow is required. A 2.5-inch SATA drive can be installed when the system uses the 4-NVMe + SATA storage configuration.

VESA Mounting and Dust-Resistant Design

The F10 supports VESA mounting for installation behind compatible displays, on mounting plates, or in other supported locations. Its fanless Flagship enclosure also incorporates a dust-resistant structural design.

OPNsense, pfSense, OpenWrt and Proxmox Compatibility

The F10 supports OPNsense, pfSense, OpenWrt, Proxmox, Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, ESXi, Windows, and other compatible x86 operating systems. Its four 2.5GbE interfaces and flexible multi-NVMe architecture make it suitable for firewall routing, VLAN segmentation, VPN gateways, home labs, and virtualized network services.

Firewall & Routing Deploy OPNsense, pfSense, OpenWrt, VPN gateways, VLAN routing, and multi-interface network services.

Storage-Focused Home Lab Use multi-NVMe storage for virtual machines, containers, local services, and compact lab infrastructure.

High-Capacity Passive Cooling Use the Flagship chassis, internal heat pipe, and wider three-sided fin structure for sustained fanless operation.

Front and Rear I/O Connectivity

The F10 provides front and rear interfaces for networking, system installation, display output, USB peripherals, storage connectivity, and power. Four Intel i226-V 2.5GbE LAN ports provide the primary connectivity for firewall and routing deployments.
