QNAP Guardian QGD-1600P-4G - Managed Switch, Black, Grey

The QNAP Guardian QGD-1600P-4G (1U rackmount, 14x Gigabit RJ-45, 2x SFP combo, PoE, 4 GB RAM, Intel Celeron J4115) is a Layer 2 managed switch designed for network segmentation and power delivery to connected endpoints. The unit features 14 Gigabit RJ-45 ports and two SFP combo ports for network uplinks and fiber expansion. It provides a total switching capacity of 32 Gbit/s and a forwarding rate of 16000 Mpps. An Intel Celeron J4115 processor and 4 GB of RAM manage the switching operations and system tasks.

The QNAP Guardian provides a 360 W PoE budget to support hardware such as IP cameras and wireless access points. Network administrators configure the system via a web-based interface, which offers control over port-based VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), and Access Control Lists (ACLs) for traffic segmentation and prioritization. The metal chassis is designed for standard rack installation and uses two internal fans for thermal management. At maximum load, the unit consumes 418 W and includes built-in loop protection and support for spanning tree protocols.
