Upgrade your WatchGuard Firebox M 3rd Generation with the Multispeed PoE+ Module, a purpose-built expansion designed to bring flexible power and high-speed data to a unified security platform. This expansion module is the single, scalable answer for expanding application execution and network capability in today’s distributed environments. By delivering Power over Ethernet plus multi‑speed data support, it enables seamless deployment of essential edge devices—IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and more—without adding a separate power infrastructure or extra networking gear. The result is a cleaner, more reliable network edge that enhances security, simplifies management, and grows with your business needs.

Engineered to pair with Firebox M 3rd Gen appliances, the Multispeed PoE+ Module preserves the core benefits WatchGuard is known for—robust threat protection, centralized policy management, and a unified security console—while extending capabilities to power and network devices from a single device. It’s the ideal choice for branches, retail locations, education campuses, and healthcare facilities where reliable edge device performance is critical. With this expansion, you gain the flexibility to place devices exactly where you need them, optimize network topology, and reduce the complexity and costs associated with separate PoE switches or additional power drops.

  • Expands capacity for Firebox M 3rd Gen: The Multispeed PoE+ Module adds dedicated PoE+ ports to your firewall, enabling you to power and manage a growing set of edge devices from a single, secure platform. This expansion reduces the need for separate PoE switches, lowers cable clutter, and simplifies inventory management.
  • Multispeed PoE+ technology: It provides flexible data speeds across connected devices while delivering reliable power via PoE+. Compatible with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards, it supports a wide range of devices without compromising performance on your core firewall services.
  • Powering essential edge devices: Use the module to energize IP cameras for surveillance, VoIP phones for communications, and wireless access points for reliable campus coverage. The integrated PoE+ function ensures these devices stay powered even in remote or distributed locations, improving uptime and security.
  • Centralized management and visibility: All PoE activity integrates with WatchGuard's Fireware OS, letting you monitor port status, power consumption, and device health from a single management console. Real-time alerts and reporting help you optimize power budgets and prevent devices from dropping offline.
  • Durable, easy-to-install design: The module is engineered for reliable, long-term operation in office and data-center environments. Its compact form factor fits easily into WatchGuard chassis configurations, and the plug-in design supports straightforward hot-swapping or reseating with minimal downtime.

How to install WatchGuard Firebox M 3rd Gen Multispeed PoE+ Module

  • Prepare and power down: Before installation, power down the Firebox M 3rd Gen unit following your organization’s procedures, or confirm hot-swap compatibility with the vendor’s guidelines if you plan to install while powered. Disconnect any sensitive equipment to prevent static discharge or accidental power cycling.
  • Access the chassis: Remove the chassis access panel or open the service area according to the Firebox M’s maintenance guide. Ground yourself to prevent static damage to internal components.
  • Insert the expansion module: Align the Multispeed PoE+ Module with the designated expansion slot in the Firebox M 3rd Gen and firmly seat it until it is fully engaged. If screws or fasteners are required, secure the module according to the hardware manual to ensure solid contact and vibration resistance.
  • Connect power and cabling: Reconnect the unit to power and attach Ethernet cables to the PoE+ ports as needed for your edge devices. Ensure that connected devices are powered down during cabling to avoid surges.
  • Power up and configure: Power on the Firebox M 3rd Gen and access the Fireware OS management console. Configure the PoE+ ports (enable/disable, power budgets, and per-port policies) and verify port status, health, and current draw. Create or adjust security policies to ensure devices operate under your organization’s security posture.
  • Test deployment: Validate device startup, network connectivity, and PoE operation for each connected device. Confirm that power allocations align with device requirements and that monitoring alerts are active for unexpected power events or port faults.
  • Document and monitor: Record port configurations and power budgets in your asset management system. Schedule periodic reviews of PoE utilization and firmware updates to maintain performance and security alignment with WatchGuard recommendations.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What devices benefit most from the WatchGuard Firebox M 3rd Gen Multispeed PoE+ Module? A: Devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points commonly benefit from PoE+ capability. This module powers those devices directly from the firewall, reducing clutter and simplifying installation in edge locations, campuses, and branch offices.
  • Q: Is this expansion module compatible with all Firebox M 3rd Gen models? A: The module is designed for Firebox M 3rd Generation appliances with the appropriate expansion slots. Always verify chassis compatibility and firmware requirements in the official product documentation before purchasing.
  • Q: Can I manage PoE power usage from the Fireware OS? A: Yes. Fireware OS provides centralized monitoring of port status, power consumption, and device health, enabling you to optimize the PoE budget and respond quickly to any device issues.
  • Q: Do I need an external power source for PoE devices? A: The PoE+ capability is supplied through the module and the Firebox M power architecture. Some environments may require external power considerations for very high-demand devices, but standard deployments with PoE+ typically rely on the module’s integrated power delivery.
  • Q: Is the module hot-swappable? A: Depending on the Firebox M 3rd Gen model and configuration, hot-swapping may be supported. Always follow WatchGuard’s official guidance and best practices for hot-swapping to minimize downtime and protect connected devices.
  • Q: Where should I place PoE devices for best performance? A: Position PoE devices close enough to the Firebox M to minimize cable length, while ensuring adequate ventilation and security. For cameras, place them to optimize coverage while keeping drop-in power reliability in mind, thanks to the PoE+ module’s centralized power delivery.

Great price for a great product
Color: Coal Black
Excellent quality and great price to boot. Easy to assemble and folds up easily to be stored. We are using it as a privacy screen when we have company that needs to sleep on the couch and also to block off a hallway leading to a guest suite. It looks great and is as described in the ad

No.
Color: Coal Black, Color: Coal Black
This was horribly made and a nightmare to put together. You have to basically bend the bars to get the coverings attached. The sizes don't match. The stickers that label the parts are impossible to remove and if you do get them off theres a lot of residue left behind. On top of that once it was put together I noticed theres a big dirty foot print on it which is definitely not mine.

You have to add weight to it
Color: Coal Black
It does its job and it was easy to put together but it's a little on the flimsy side and it will easily be knocked down. So you're going to have to figure out a way to make the legs heavier? I used cinder blocks, single cinder blocks and it works just fine. Just know that it will knock over super easy
