QNAP QSW-M2108-2C - Managed Layer 2 Switch, Grey, White

The QNAP QSW-M2108-2C is a Layer 2 web-managed switch for 10GbE and 2.5GbE network segmentation. This non-PoE model features eight RJ-45 ports operating at up to 2.5 Gbps for access points, NAS devices, and workstations. It also includes two 10G combo ports that accept either RJ-45 or SFP+ modules for uplink. The switch has a total capacity of 80 Gbit/s and uses a store-and-forward architecture with a 16,000-entry MAC address table for packet handling in SMB or lab environments.

Administrators can configure the switch via a web-based interface or the included RJ-45 console port. Software features include port-based and tagged VLAN support, Spanning Tree Protocol for loop prevention, and Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization. Multicast traffic is managed via IGMP snooping, and access control lists (ACL) restrict unauthorized communication. Designed for desktop use, the chassis measures 290 × 127 × 42.5 mm and weighs 1,120 g. The unit is cooled by a single internal fan and has a maximum power consumption of 36 W under full load.

• Supports 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, and 10 Gbps Ethernet data rates.
• System throughput is rated at 40 Gbit/s.
• Supports jumbo frames of up to 9,000 bytes to reduce packet overhead during large file transfers.
• Link aggregation allows administrators to bundle ports for increased bandwidth and connection redundancy.
• Firmware is upgradeable for security patches and software updates.
