The QSW-M2106-4C 10-Port 10GbE/2.5GbE Layer 2 Web Managed Switch from QNAP features four 10GbE SFP+/RJ45 ports and six 2.5GbE ports. Thanks to support for Layer 2 switching and network management via the QNAP Switch System (QSS) interface, the SW-M2106-4C offers flexible deployment in hybrid high-speed network environments and provides an entry-level network management solution. With high performance, user-friendly management, and a desktop form factor, the QSW-M2106-4C is a cost-effective upgrade for those looking to install a 2.5GbE or 10GbE network, while also optimizing bandwidth and ensuring secure network maintenance.
Flexible Deployment with Multiple 10G SFP+ Fiber and Gigabit Ports
The QSW-M2106-4C provides four 10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo ports and six 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 QSW-M2106-4C is backward compatible with other Ethernet devices.
Port Compatibility
- 10GbE SFP+ ports are backward compatible with 1GbE SFP; the 10GbE RJ45 (copper) combo ports support up to five speeds (10Gb, 5Gb, 2.5Gb, 1Gb, and 100Mb); the 2.5GbE RJ45 (copper) ports support up to three speeds (2.5Gb, 1Gb, and 100Mb).
- If the distance between the switch and the device is less than 148', a Cat 6 cable can be used to achieve 10 Gb/s speeds.
