Rackmount.IT WG-Rack for WatchGuard Firebox T80 / T85
1U · 19-inchWatchGuard T80 · T85Ports to the frontWatchGuard Red
The Rackmount.IT RM-WG-T7 (WG-Rack) is a 19-inch rack mount kit for the WatchGuard Firebox T80 and T85 desktop firewalls, turning a desktop appliance into a clean 1U rack installation with its network and console ports brought to the front panel.
WatchGuard's T80 and T85 are desktop units without rack ears. Rackmount.IT's kit holds one firewall, fixes its external power supply inside the kit and routes ten connections to the front through RJ45 couplers, including the console port. The front plate is finished in WatchGuard Red so the unit is easy to identify in a mixed cabinet.
Before you order: Fits the Firebox T80 and T85 (including T85-PoE) only. Other Firebox T-series models (T10/T15, T20/T25, T40/T45, T70) have their own Rackmount.IT kits.
What's in the Box
- WG-Rack chassis with RJ45 couplers
- Rackmount.IT front plate
- 10 patch cables, 0.5 m, from the firewall to the front couplers
- Assembly materials
- Installation guide
What It Means in Practice
- One firewall per kit, in a little more than 1U (46 mm) of rack space.
- LAN, WAN and console are patched from the front, so you do not need to reach behind the cabinet.
- The power brick is fixed inside the kit instead of lying loose on a shelf.
- Rackmount.IT quotes about five minutes for assembly.
What Will Not Work
- WatchGuard Firebox T70, T40/T45, T20/T25 or T10/T15 — they need different kits.
- WatchGuard M-series rack appliances — they are already rack-mountable.
- Wall cabinets shallower than about 22 cm usable depth (the kit is 217 mm deep).
- Two firewalls side by side — this kit holds one unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it fit the T70?
No. The T70 uses a different Rackmount.IT kit — tell us your model and we will quote it.
Do I keep the original WatchGuard power supply?
Yes. The kit holds the existing external power supply inside the rack mount.
Is it exactly 1U?
It is 46 mm high (1U+), so leave a little gap to the next device or a blanking panel.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
Desktop firewalls on a shelf are the usual source of messy cabinets: loose power bricks, patch leads into the back and no labels. A WG-Rack fixes all three for a T80/T85. Finish the cabinet with items from our
rack accessories.
✓ Buy it if you run a WatchGuard Firebox T80 or T85 and want it in a 19-inch rack with front ports.
✕ Skip it if your Firebox is another T-series model or already rack-mountable.
→ Also consider the Rackmount.IT kit for your exact Firebox model (e.g. RM-WG-T8 for T10/T15).
