    I use Netgear M4300 half-width switches and 10" patch panels. This allows me to use a half-width rack, which is more friendly for home equipment. Would be awesome to see 10" rack compatible ears. NO patch panel, NO power supply mount. Literally just "L" shaped ears for a 10" rack.

    Personally I love the design. Wish both sides can be keystones

    I vote no keystone holes. Not sure where the space savings occurs, as you still need a switch somewhere.

    The ears are for rack mounting. Put a rack mount switch in the rack. I think the holes are useless.

    I vote for 6 keystone slots per side of the rabbit ears; that'll give me a 12 port patch panel on the same 1U rack space I'm mounting the Gold Pro in; rack space is real-estate, and is limited. Being able to eliminate some usage allows you to spread out and keep some gaps between equipment, which improves air flow.

    @firewalla - Would it work with your business model to release the rack mounts as 3D models? You could release designs for several combinations (e.g. with keystones, without keystones, with shelf, etc.) at little cost to you and reduce the overhead of manufacturing and stocking rack ears. I suspect in most cases left and right are interchangeable.

    For those without access to a 3D printer, there is a prolific set of folks on Etsy that produce and ship high quality third-party rack mount accessories that would likely pick this up as well or customers could utilize the various services on the internet that deliver custom 3D prints from user supplied models.

    @sam That is a fantastic idea! I'd love to get the 3D models and modify for my specialized 10" rack.

    I vote for the 3D printer data publishing as the best option.

    Regarding the 3D printing discussion. I couldn’t care less if someone wants to go to a third-party for rack mount ears, but I certainly hope that will not be the only option. Definitely hope Firewalla sells their own rack mount ears.

    I look forward to buying one and being an early adopter tomorrow afternoon (UK).

    Can it ship with a UK plug rather than a an adaptor that is unstable and sticks out a long way

    The power cord is sold separately (https://firewalla.com/products/international-power-cord?variant=32009541681219) . Since these things are standard PC-type power cords, you probably already have a few or can easily get it from your hardware store

    Hopefully you guys get the pre-orders that you're expecting (and then some). This will be my first firewalla product, but have high hopes based on what I've seen.

    SFP+ would have been easier to integrate with my current network, but I have plenty of 10gbase-t modules laying around, so no issues there.
