$476.33

$499.00

The CWWK S3 is a dual 10GbE SFP+ firewall mini PC based on an Intel N-Series platform. It combines four onboard Intel i226-V 2.5GbE RJ45 ports with two Intel 82599ES 10GbE SFP+ interfaces through the PCIe expansion architecture.

Intel N100, N150, N200 and N305 Processor Options

The S3 supports Intel N100, N150, N200 and Core i3-N305 processor configurations for firewall routing, 10GbE networking, VPN services, VLAN segmentation, virtualization and multi-service network environments.

N100 4 cores / 4 threads for firewall, routing, VLAN, VPN and general network services.

N150 4 cores / 4 threads for efficient gateway, firewall and network workloads.

N200 4 cores / 4 threads with additional performance headroom for multi-service networking.

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

Four Intel i226-V 2.5GbE and Dual 10GbE SFP+ Ports

The S3 combines four Intel i226-V 2.5GbE RJ45 interfaces with two 10GbE SFP+ ports controlled by Intel 82599ES, providing both multi-gigabit copper networking and high-speed SFP+ connectivity.

4 × 2.5GbE RJ45 Four Intel i226-V interfaces for WAN, LAN, access points, servers and isolated network segments.

2 × 10GbE SFP+ Dual Intel 82599ES 10GbE SFP+ interfaces for high-bandwidth uplinks, storage and backbone connectivity.

Mixed Network Topology Combine 2.5GbE edge connectivity with 10GbE SFP+ uplinks in one firewall or routing platform.

Shared N-Series Motherboard with DDR5 and PCIe Expansion

The S3 uses the same Intel N-Series motherboard platform as the CWWK F13. The motherboard provides four onboard Intel i226-V 2.5GbE ports, one DDR5 SO-DIMM slot, NVMe and SATA storage interfaces and a PCIe expansion slot for the dual 10GbE SFP+ adapter.

1 × DDR5 SO-DIMM, up to 32GB
1 × M.2 NVMe storage interface
1 × SATA 3.0 interface

PCIe x8 Physical Slot with PCIe 3.0 x4 Signal

The S3 motherboard uses a physical PCIe x8 slot with a PCIe 3.0 x4 electrical connection. The slot is used for the Intel 82599ES dual 10GbE SFP+ expansion adapter.

The PCIe connector is physically x8, but the available electrical signal is PCIe 3.0 x4. It should not be interpreted as a full-bandwidth PCIe x8 electrical connection.

Intel 82599ES Dual 10GbE SFP+ Expansion Card

The S3 uses an Intel 82599ES-based PCIe network expansion card to provide two 10GbE SFP+ interfaces. These ports complement the motherboard's four Intel i226-V 2.5GbE RJ45 interfaces for higher-bandwidth network links.

Dual 10GbE Uplinks Suitable for 10GbE switches, storage networks, backbone links and high-bandwidth firewall deployments.

CPU Heatsink and Turbo Fan Active Cooling

The S3 uses a dedicated CPU heatsink and turbo cooling fan to actively cool the Intel N-Series processor. The fan is part of the CPU thermal system rather than the chassis itself.

Because the supported N100, N150, N200 and N305 processors are low-power platforms, the standard CPU cooling system is generally sufficient for typical firewall, routing and networking workloads.

OPNsense, pfSense, OpenWrt and Proxmox Compatibility

The S3 supports OPNsense, pfSense, OpenWrt, Proxmox, Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, ESXi, Windows and other compatible x86 operating systems. Its combination of four 2.5GbE RJ45 ports and dual 10GbE SFP+ interfaces is suitable for firewall routing, high-speed uplinks, VLAN segmentation, VPN gateways and virtualized network services.

10GbE Firewall Use dual SFP+ links for high-speed uplinks, routed networks and firewall deployments.

Storage & Backbone Connect 10GbE switches, storage systems or backbone links while retaining four 2.5GbE edge interfaces.

Proxmox Networking Run virtual firewalls, containers and network services with both 2.5GbE and 10GbE physical connectivity.

Front and Rear I/O Connectivity

The S3 provides four Intel i226-V 2.5GbE RJ45 ports, two Intel 82599ES 10GbE SFP+ interfaces and additional display, USB, system management and power connections.
