Switch Webmanged QSW-M2106-4C 6P2.5GBPS 4P10GBPS SFP+/ NBASE-T Combo

Introduction

The QSW-M2106-4C is a Layer 2 Web Managed Switch with four 10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo ports and six 2.5 Gigabit ports. Supporting Layer 2 switching and network management via a user-friendly web user interface, the QSW-M2106-4C 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. With high performance, user-friendly management, and a desktop form factor, the QSW-M2106-4C enables cost-effective upgrading to 2.5GbE or 10GbE networking while optimizing bandwidth and ensuring secure network maintenance.

10GbE connectivity
Includes four 10GbE SFP+/ RJ45 combo ports. Compatible with 10GbE and NBASE-T technologies to support five speeds (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 100M) for high-speed networks.

2.5GbE connectivity
Six 2.5GbE RJ45 ports allow you to immediately multiply your network speed by 2.5 times while using existing Cat 5e cables.

User-friendly management interface
The QNAP Switch System (QSS) is easy to use and provides an overview dashboard, port management and setting guide, making central network management intuitive.

Layer 2 network
Provides Layer 2 management features (such as LACP, VLAN, ACL and LLDP) for IT staff to efficiently control network bandwidth and enhance security.

RSTP
One of the few web-managed switches that supports Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP). Easily and efficiently deploy small/medium-scale networks that support expansion, redundancy, and loop prevention.

Online firmware update
QSS can be updated with just one click, helping IT staff ensure their network security.

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.

1. 10GbE SFP+ ports are backward compatible with 1GbE SFP; the 10GbE RJ45 (copper) combo ports support up to five speeds (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 100M); the 2.5GbE RJ45 (copper) ports support up to three speeds (2.5G / 1G / 100M).
2. If the distance between the switch and the device is less than 45 meters (148 feet), a Cat 6 cable can be used to achieve 10Gb/s speeds.
