The QSW-M2108-2C is a Layer 2 Web Managed Switch with two 10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo ports and eight 2.5 Gigabit ports. Supporting Layer 2 switching and network management via a user-friendly web user interface, the QSW-M2108-2C offers flexible deployment in hybrid high-speed network environments and provides an entry-level network management solution that is usable even by non-IT professionals. The QSW-M2108-2C is compatible with 10GbE and NBASE-T technologies, supporting up to five speeds (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 100M) to provide higher transmission speeds with existing Cat 5e and 6a cables. With high performance, user-friendly management, and desktop form factor, the QSW-M2108-2C enables cost-effective upgrading to 2.5GbE or 10GbE networking while optimizing bandwidth and ensuring secure network maintenance.

Flexible deployment with multiple 10G SFP+ fiber and Gigabit ports
The QSW-M2108-2C provides two 10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo ports and eight 2.5 Gigabit ports for connecting various devices and enabling hybrid high-speed networks. With SFP+ interfaces, Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables can be used for connecting directly to SFP+ devices. You can also use RJ45 ports to connect 10GBASE-T/NBASE-T devices through RJ45 Category 6 (or better) cabling. The switching capacity of the QSW-M2108-2C is 80Gbps, guaranteeing the full potential of each port.

Flexible deployment combo ports and 10GbE / NBASE-T
The QSW-M2108-2C is compatible with 10GbE and NBASE-T technologies to support five speeds (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 100M) using existing Cat 5e and Cat 6a cables. The SFP+/RJ45 (copper) combo ports provide higher transmission speeds with existing cables. Depending on cable type and lengths, different speeds can be achieved for faster, more efficient data transfer.

Value-added
With the settings guide, status chart reference, online firmware update, learning and management costs are greatly reduced.

Optimize Network Performance with bandwidth and packet control
The QSW-M2108-2C provides bandwidth and packet control functions (such as LACP, VLAN, QoS, and IGMP Snooping) to boost network performance through IP grouping and bandwidth management.

Powerful security and system functions
The QSW-M2108-2C has powerful security and system functions (including ACL, LLDP, RSTP and Flow Control) to help administrators enhance network reliability using access controls, troubleshooting, loop prevention and avoiding packet loss.

Desktop form factor for easy use in offices
With a compact and modern design, the QSW-M2108-2C stands out with its delicate textured surface design. The flexible DC power connector enables universal deployment of the QSW-M2108-2C and each port can be easily identified. Being fully plug-and-play, devices can be simply connected to the QSW-M2108-2C and immediately used.

How to use

Place the QSW-M2108-2C on a stable desktop surface and connect the included DC 12V power adapter. Use SFP+ ports with compatible SFP+ modules or DAC cables for fiber or direct attach copper connections, or use the RJ45 combo ports to connect 10GBASE-T/NBASE-T devices with Cat6 or better cabling. Connect other devices to the 2.5GbE RJ45 ports using Cat5e/Cat6 cables to achieve speeds up to 2.5Gbps depending on cable quality. Access the QNAP Switch System (QSS) Web GUI through a browser to configure LACP, VLANs, QoS, IGMP Snooping and security settings as required; the interface maps physical ports visually for easy identification.

Recommendations

For best performance at 10GbE speeds use Cat6a or certified Cat6 cabling with appropriate length limits and compatible 10GBASE-T devices; for intermediate 2.5GbE upgrades, Cat5e or Cat6 cables are usually sufficient. Keep firmware updated via the QSS web GUI and configure VLANs, LACP and QoS to optimize bandwidth and minimize collisions in mixed-speed environments.
