CWWK F14 8-Port 2.5GbE Firewall Mini PC

The CWWK F14 is an 8-port 2.5GbE firewall mini PC based on an Intel Alder Lake and Raptor Lake U/P platform. It combines four onboard Intel i226-V 2.5GbE ports with four additional Intel i226-V ports through PCIe expansion, together with dual DDR5 memory slots, PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe storage and dual SATA connectivity.
Intel 8505, Intel Processor U300E and Core i5-1240P Options
The F14 is available with Intel Pentium 8505, Intel Processor U300E and Intel Core i5-1240P processor options for firewall routing, VPN services, virtualization, Proxmox and multi-service network deployments.
Eight Intel i226-V 2.5GbE Network Ports
The F14 provides eight Intel i226-V 2.5GbE RJ45 interfaces. Four ports are integrated on the motherboard and four additional Intel i226-V ports are added through the PCIe network expansion adapter.
Shared Alder Lake and Raptor Lake Motherboard with DDR5
The F14 shares its motherboard platform with the CWWK S4. The board provides four onboard Intel i226-V 2.5GbE ports, two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots, one M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe slot, two SATA interfaces, a TF card slot and dedicated CPU_FAN and SYS_FAN connectors.
- 4 × onboard Intel i226-V 2.5GbE
- 2 × DDR5 SO-DIMM, up to 64GB total
- 1 × M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe
- 2 × SATA interfaces
- PCIe x8 physical expansion slot
- CPU_FAN and SYS_FAN connectors
PCIe x8 Physical Slot with x4 Electrical Connection
The F14 motherboard uses a physical PCIe x8 expansion slot with an x4 electrical connection. This interface is used to connect the additional four-port Intel i226-V 2.5GbE network expansion adapter.
4-Port Intel i226-V 2.5GbE Expansion Card
The F14 expands the motherboard's four onboard 2.5GbE ports with four additional Intel i226-V interfaces through the PCIe expansion card, providing eight physical 2.5GbE RJ45 network ports in total.
CPU Heatsink and Turbo Fan Active Cooling
The F14 uses a dedicated CPU heatsink and turbo cooling fan to actively cool the processor. The fan is part of the CPU thermal assembly rather than the chassis itself.
The large chassis also supports an optional 12V 4-pin 80 × 80 × 10 mm 8010 fan for additional internal airflow when required.
Large Aluminum Chassis and Internal Layout
5.19 × 6.09 × 2.52 in
The F14 uses CWWK's large aluminum chassis to accommodate the motherboard, PCIe network expansion adapter, CPU heatsink and turbo fan, storage devices and front and rear I/O assemblies.
The chassis does not use external cooling fins and does not support VESA mounting.
PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe and Dual SATA Storage
The F14 provides one M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe slot together with two SATA interfaces. Both SATA ports can be used at the same time, giving the system flexible storage options for the operating system, virtual machines, logs and other network services.
OPNsense, pfSense, OpenWrt and Proxmox Compatibility
The F14 supports OPNsense, pfSense, OpenWrt, Proxmox, Windows and Linux environments. Its eight physical 2.5GbE ports, dual DDR5 memory slots and stronger U/P-series processor options make it suitable for multi-WAN routing, VLAN segmentation, VPN services and virtualized network workloads.
Front and Rear I/O Connectivity
The F14 provides eight 2.5GbE RJ45 ports together with RJ45 COM, HDMI, DP + HDMI, USB-C, USB3.2 Gen1, USB2.0, audio, TF card, Clear CMOS, power button and DC input connectivity.
