Qnap QSW-M408 Series 4-Port 10GbE SFP+ and 8-Port Gb Layer 2 Web Managed Switches

Qnap Systems, Inc. released the QSW-M408 series 4-port 10GbE SFP+ and 8-port Gb Layer 2 Web managed switches, designed for meeting versatile needs in a hybrid high-speed network infrastructure.

Featuring practical Layer two management functions, QSW-M408 series the switches enable deployment of bandwidth utilization to offer an entry-level network management solution for SMBs.

QSW-M408 series switches (QSW-M408-4C, QSW-M408-2C and QSW-M408S) come with 4x10GbE SFP+ ports and 8 Gb ports, for connecting multiple devices with SFP+ or RJ45 interfaces. The QSW-M408-4C and QSW-M408-2C include 4 and 2 additional 10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo ports that are compatible with 10GbE and NBASE-T technologies to support 5 networking speeds (10Gb, 5Gb, 2.5Gb, 1Gb and 100Mb), allowing administrators to realize higher network speeds with existing Cat 5e and 6a cables. QSW-M408 series switches also provide Layer-2 management functions (such as LACP, VLAN, ACL and LLDP) via a Web GUI for network bandwidth control and enhanced network security.

“With the increasing need for high-speed networking, SMBs with tight budgets and limited manpower may be unable to afford or maintain standard 10GbE switches,” said Frank Liao, product manager. “Combining 10GbE, 1GbE and SFP+ and RJ45 interfaces, the affordable and easy-to-use Qnap QSW-M408 series switches allow users to flexibly deploy speeds and cabling for connecting different devices and efficiently maintaining networks.“

The QSW-M408 series is one of the few web-managed switches on the market that supports the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and is compliant with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet and IEEE802.3x Flow Control in full-duplex mode. You can deploy small/medium-scale networks that support expansion, redundancy, and loop prevention, while avoiding packet loss from unparalleled bandwidth, and reducing power consumption for low-speed and inactive connections. When coupled with other firm’s 10GbE solutions (including NAS, network adapters and PCIe cards) QSW-M408 series switches provide value and performance for deploying fast networks.
