Multi-Gig UTM Protection for the Growing Office
As an office adds multi-gig internet, cloud apps, and remote workers, a gigabit firewall becomes the bottleneck. The ZYXEL USG FLEX 500H is a hardware-only UTM firewall that pushes nearly 10 Gbps of firewall throughput across software-defined multi-gig ports, with AI-powered cloud security ready to switch on.

How It Works
The USG FLEX 500H runs Zyxel's uOS on multi-core hardware with Fastpath acceleration, so it inspects traffic and applies security policy with minimal added latency. Its ports are software-defined, letting you assign each 2.5GbE port as WAN or LAN, and two of them deliver PoE+ with a 30W total budget to power an access point or camera directly. Add a ZYXEL security subscription to turn on the AI-powered cloud UTM suite, and manage the appliance locally or from the Nebula cloud.
Highlights
- Nearly 10 Gbps firewall throughput: up to 1,000,000 concurrent sessions for busy multi-gig networks.
- Software-defined multi-gig ports: 2.5GbE ports you set as WAN or LAN, including two PoE+ ports (30W total).
- AI-powered UTM services: sandboxing, anti-malware, IPS, application control, and a Reputation Filter that blocks around 70% of common attacks (subscription).
- Flexible VPN: up to 150 tunnels with IKEv2 and SSL VPN through the SecuExtender client.
- Nebula cloud or local management, in a 1U rack-mountable, hardware-only appliance.
