QNAP QSW-308S - Unmanaged Ethernet Switch, White

The QNAP QSW-308S is an unmanaged switch with eight Gigabit Ethernet ports and three 10GbE SFP+ ports that requires no configuration to expand your network. This plug-and-play device provides immediate connectivity. Its eight RJ45 Ethernet ports auto-negotiate speeds up to 1000 Mbps, while the three SFP+ slots provide 10GbE fiber connectivity for uplinks to servers or core network infrastructure. With a total switching capacity of 76 Gbit/s, the device manages traffic across all interfaces simultaneously, acting as a transparent bridge between network nodes.

The unit measures 290 x 127 x 42.5 mm and is designed for desktop use. The 740 g white chassis is intended for free-standing placement and cannot be rack-mounted. Its fanless design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for quiet workspaces or homes. Front-facing LEDs indicate power, link status, speed, and activity. The switch consumes a maximum of 36 W under full load and supports standard Cat5, Cat5e, and Cat6 cabling.

• Jumbo frame support for packets up to 10,000 bytes reduces CPU overhead during large file transfers.
• The 16,000-entry MAC address table accommodates large device counts and complex network topologies.
• Compliance with IEEE 802.3, 802.3ab, and 802.3u ensures compatibility with standard Ethernet hardware.
• Eight integrated hardware queues automatically manage traffic flow.
• Support for 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T allows direct bridging between Fast Ethernet and Gigabit devices.
