QNAP QSW-3205-5T - unmanaged switch, black

The QNAP QSW-3205-5T 5-port 10GbE unmanaged switch expands local network connectivity without requiring software configuration. It is a plug-and-play device; simply connect the cables and power it on. The switch features five RJ45 Ethernet ports designed for high-throughput data. Each interface supports transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s, enabling fast communication between workstations, NAS enclosures, and servers. The hardware supports multi-gigabit speeds, automatically adapting between 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 10 Gbps depending on the connected device. It provides dedicated high-speed access to multiple endpoints, reducing bandwidth bottlenecks during large file transfers and backups.

The black desktop chassis fits on a standard workspace without requiring rack-mount hardware. Measuring 180 x 145 x 34 mm and weighing 960 g, it maintains a relatively compact footprint for a multi-gigabit switch. The fanless design ensures silent operation, suitable for noise-sensitive home offices or quiet workplaces. Front-facing LED indicators provide at-a-glance status monitoring for active links and port activity. The device is powered via a rear DC jack and draws a maximum of 36 W under full load.

• 100 Gbit/s switching capacity ensures non-blocking data throughput across all connected interfaces.
• 16,000-entry MAC address table provides sufficient capacity for directing frames in busy local environments.
• Built-in hardware loop protection safeguards the network from broadcast storms caused by redundant cabling.
• 10GBase-T RJ45 compatibility uses standard copper cabling, permitting multi-gigabit infrastructure upgrades without requiring specialized fiber installations.
• IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet compliance reduces power consumption during periods of low network traffic.
