QNAP QSW-1108-8T-R2 - 8-port unmanaged switch, Black

The QNAP QSW-1108-8T-R2 is an 8-port 2.5Gbps unmanaged switch designed to expand wired network capacity without the need for configuration. It acts as a simple plug-and-play solution for environments that do not require complex network management. The desktop unit features eight RJ45 Ethernet ports for connecting local network devices. Each port supports speeds up to 2.5 Gbps, automatically negotiating 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps connections based on the attached hardware. This allows for higher throughput than standard Gigabit switches when connecting network-attached storage, computers, or access points.

The switch has a black chassis and is designed for desktop use. It is fanless, ensuring silent operation in noise-sensitive environments such as offices or homes. Measuring 240 x 105.4 x 27 mm and weighing 500 g, the device has a small physical footprint. Built-in LED indicators show the status of active links at a glance. Power is provided by an included 12 V DC adapter, with a maximum consumption of 12 W under load.

• 40 Gbit/s non-blocking switching capacity allows for simultaneous, full-speed data transfer across all ports.
• Support for 12,000-byte jumbo frames improves efficiency for large file transfers or bulk backups.
• A 4,000-entry MAC address table accommodates typical local network traffic.
• Compliant with IEEE 802.3bz, ensuring compatibility with 2.5GBASE-T infrastructure over standard Ethernet cabling.
• IEEE 802.3az support automatically reduces power consumption during periods of low network activity.
