Palo Alto Networks PA-545-PoE Next-Generation Firewall 5 Gbps

Enterprise-Grade Security Meets Edge Simplicity

The Palo Alto Networks PA-545-PoE delivers advanced next-generation firewall performance with integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) for branch offices and midsize enterprises. Built on the powerful Strata™ platform and driven by Precision AI®, it combines real-time threat prevention, streamlined Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), and energy-efficient operation in a single 1RU appliance.

Key Benefits & Features

AI-Driven Threat Prevention

Powered by Precision AI®, the PA-545-PoE analyzes and blocks zero-day malware, ransomware, and phishing attempts with inline signatureless attack prevention, stopping file-based attacks and never-before-seen threats. With 3 Gbps threat prevention throughput, it safeguards users, applications, and data across hybrid environments.

High-Performance, PoE-Enabled Connectivity

Delivering up to 5 Gbps firewall throughput and a total PoE budget of 181 W across four ports (max 90 W each), the PA-545-PoE consolidates security and power for IP phones, cameras, and access points—ideal for distributed sites.

Zero Touch Provisioning & Unified Management

Deployment is effortless with Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and centralized visibility through Strata Cloud Manager. Manage firewalls, SD-WAN, and SASE environments under one unified, AI-powered console.

Quantum-Ready Encryption & SSL/TLS Inspection

Future-proof your network with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) support for SSL/TLS and VPNs, while maintaining visibility into encrypted traffic without performance compromise.

Energy-Efficient and Silent Operation

Designed for office and retail deployments, the PA-545-PoE features passive cooling and efficient 336 W max power draw (including PoE), ensuring low noise and operational reliability.
