QNAP QSW-M2108R-2C 10-Port 10GbE and 2.5GbE Layer 2 Web Managed Half-Width Rackmount Switch

Entry-level 10GbE and 2.5GbE Layer 2 Web Managed Half-Width Rackmount Switch for Small Businesses
The QSW-M2108R-2C is a Layer 2 Web Managed Switch with two 10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo ports and eight 2.5 Gigabit ports. Supporting Layer 2 switching and network management via a user-friendly web user interface, the QSW-M2108R-2C offers flexible deployment in hybrid high-speed network environments and provides an entry-level network management solution. With a half-width design, two QSW-M2108R-2C can be installed in a 1U rack space for space-saving. The QSW-M2108R-2C is compatible with 10GbE and NBASE-T technologies, supporting up to five speeds (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 100M) to provide higher transmission speeds when using existing Cat 5e and 6a cables.

Half-width design, 2 models in 1U
With a half-width rackmount design, two QSW-M2108R-2C can be installed in a 1U rack space for efficient physical space utilization and tidy cabling.

Flexible deployment with multiple 10G SFP+ fiber and Gigabit ports
The QSW-M2108R-2C provides two 10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo 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-M2108-2C is 80Gbps, guaranteeing the full potential of each port.

Flexible deployment combo ports and 10GbE / NBASE-T
The QSW-M2108R-2C is compatible with 10GbE and NBASE-T technologies to support five speeds (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 100M) using existing Cat 5e and Cat 6a cables. The SFP+/RJ45 (copper) combo ports provide higher transmission speeds with existing cables. Depending on cable type and lengths, different speeds can be achieved for faster, more efficient data transfer.

Optimize Network Performance with bandwidth and packet control
The QSW-M2108R-2C provides bandwidth and packet control functions (such as LACP, VLAN, QoS, and IGMP Snooping) to boost network performance through IP grouping and bandwidth management.

LACP
Link Aggregation (LAG) combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and protect against connection failure.

VLAN
Virtual Networks (VLAN) allows groups of devices from different networks to be combined into a single network.

QoS
QoS (Quality of Service) helps prioritize bandwidth usage to optimize network resource allocation.

IGMP Snooping
IGMP snooping assists in minimizing bandwidth loss and preventing network information leakage.

Powerful security and system functions
The QSW-M2108R-2C has powerful security and system functions (including ACL, LLDP, RSTP and Flow Control) to help administrators enhance network reliability using access controls, troubleshooting, loop prevention and avoiding packet loss.

ACL
- Access controls
- Security system

LLDP
- Device disclosure
- Troubleshooting

RSTP
