Overview:
The QSW-M2108-2S is a Layer 2 Web Managed Switch with two 10GbE SFP+ ports and eight 2.5 Gigabit ports. Supporting Layer 2 switching and network management via a user-friendly web user interface, the QSW-M2108-2S offers flexible deployment in hybrid high-speed network environments and provides an entry-level network management solution that is usable even by non-IT professionals. With high performance, user-friendly management, and desktop form factor, the QSW-M2108-2S enables cost-effective upgrading to 2.5GbE or 10GbE networking while optimizing bandwidth and ensuring secure network maintenance.
Includes two 10GbE SFP+ ports and eight 2.5GbE RJ45 ports for connecting various devices and enabling hybrid high-speed networks.
The QNAP Switch System (QSS) is easy to use and provides an overview dashboard, port management and setting guide, making central network management intuitive.
Provides Layer 2 management features (such as LACP, VLAN, ACL and LLDP) for IT staff to efficiently control network bandwidth and enhance security.
One of the few web-managed switches that supports Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP). Easily and efficiently deploy small/medium-scale networks that support expansion, redundancy, and loop prevention.
Compliant with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet and IEEE802.3x Flow Control in full-duplex mode, the QSW-M1208-8C avoids packet loss from unparalleled bandwidth and reduces power consumption for low-speed and inactive connections.
QSS can be updated with just one click, helping IT staff ensure their network security.
Features:
Flexible deployment with multiple 10G SFP+ fiber and Gigabit ports
The QSW-M2108-2S provides two 10GbE SFP+ ports and eight 2.5 Gigabit ports for connecting various devices and enabling hybrid high-speed networks. With SFP+ interfaces, Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables can be used for connecting directly to SFP+ devices. You can also use RJ45 ports to connect 10GBASE-T/NBASE-T™ devices through RJ45 Category 6 (or better) cabling. The switching capacity of the QSW-M2108-2S is 80Gbps, guaranteeing the full potential of each port.
Note: 10GbE SFP+ ports are backward compatible with 1GbE SFP.
