QNAP QSW-1108-8T - 8-port 2.5 Gigabit unmanaged desktop switch, black

The QNAP QSW-1108-8T 8-Port 2.5GbE Unmanaged Desktop Switch offers plug-and-play network expansion; no software configuration is required. Its eight RJ45 ports automatically negotiate 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 2.5 Gbps speeds to match connected hardware. Connect network-attached storage units, workstations, and wireless access points directly to your existing infrastructure. The switch automatically learns MAC addresses to route local data to the correct destination. Upgrading to multi-Gigabit connections increases throughput for local file transfers.

Housed in a black metal chassis, the switch measures 240 x 105 x 27 mm and weighs 639 g. Its fanless design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for quiet office or home environments. Integrated LEDs display power status and link activity. The unit uses an external 12 V DC power supply and draws a maximum of 18 W under full load. The hardware supports standard Cat5e copper cabling, allowing for multi-Gigabit speeds without the need for new wiring.

• 40 Gbit/s total switching capacity supports concurrent traffic across all ports.
• 16,000-entry MAC address table supports environments with many connected devices.
• 12,000-byte jumbo frame support reduces overhead for large file transfers to network storage.
• IEEE 802.3x flow control helps prevent dropped packets during periods of heavy network congestion.
• IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet compliance reduces power consumption on inactive ports.
