QNAP QSW-M408-2C Switch de rede Gerido L2 10G Ethernet (100/1000/10000) branco

The QNAP QSW-M408-2C is a Layer 2 web-managed network switch that combines four 10GbE SFP+ ports (two of which are SFP+/RJ45 combo) and eight Gigabit RJ‑45 ports. Designed for hybrid high-speed networks, it supports 10GbE and NBASE‑T multi-speed operation (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 100M) over existing Cat5e/Cat6a cabling, provides a 96 Gbps switching capacity and a MAC address table that supports up to 16,000 entries.

Advantages

The QSW-M408-2C offers flexible deployment options with both SFP+ and RJ‑45 interfaces, enabling connections with fiber, DAC, or 10G-SFP-T copper transceivers. Its web-based management simplifies Layer 2 configuration and monitoring for users without deep networking expertise. High switching capacity ensures full-duplex performance across ports while NBASE‑T compatibility allows higher-than-gigabit speeds on existing cables.

Suitable for

• Small offices and workgroups requiring multi-gigabit connectivity
• Home labs and NAS environments needing 10G links to storage
• Hybrid networks mixing fiber SFP+ devices and RJ‑45 endpoints
• Environments upgrading from 1G to multi-gig speeds without rewiring

How to use

Place the QSW-M408-2C on a desktop or a ventilated shelf and connect it to your network power source. Use SFP+ modules or DAC cables to link to SFP+ devices and RJ‑45 cables for Gigabit or NBASE‑T connections. Access the web management interface from a browser to configure VLANs, link aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad), port settings and basic Layer 2 features. Monitor port status and traffic through the built-in web UI to verify correct operation.

Recommendations

For best multi-gig performance over copper, use quality Cat5e or Cat6a cabling and supported 10G-SFP-T transceivers; reserve SFP+ ports and DACs for short, high-bandwidth runs and configure link aggregation where higher throughput or redundancy is required.
