QNAP QSW-2104-2S - Unmanaged switch, Black

The QNAP QSW-2104-2S unmanaged switch, with 2 x 10GbE SFP+ and 4 x 2.5GbE RJ45 ports, requires no configuration to expand a wired network. This plug-and-play device manages traffic by automatically learning hardware addresses, removing the need for manual software setup. It provides six connections to accommodate high-throughput hardware and fast fibre uplinks. Four 2.5G Ethernet RJ45 ports handle standard copper cabling for computers, workstations, or network-attached storage units, while two SFP+ slots support 10GbE uplinks for rapid transmission over longer distances. The 60 Gbit/s maximum switching capacity ensures consistent bandwidth distribution across all active links.

Housed in a compact black desktop chassis, the unit fits into home offices or small workspaces. Measuring 180 x 145 x 34 mm, it occupies minimal surface area on a desk or rack shelf. The 713 g device operates without a fan, ensuring silent use in noise-sensitive environments. LED indicators for activity, link, power, speed, and status provide visual feedback on connection health and network diagnostics. It is powered via a 12 V DC source, drawing a maximum of 12 W under peak load. This energy-efficient profile is supported by the IEEE 802.3az standard, which reduces consumption during periods of low network activity.

• 16,000-entry MAC address table for efficient routing across networks with multiple active endpoints.
• 9,000-byte jumbo frame support for increased efficiency when handling large data payloads.
• Multi-rate autonegotiation that scales connections down to 1 GbE and 100 Mb/s based on local hardware capability.
• IEEE 802.3bz compliance for 2.5G Ethernet transmission over existing standard copper cabling.
• Compatibility with 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-SX, and 1000BASE-T standards for integration with a range of transceiver modules.
