Qnap QSW-M2106 Series Desktop 10-Port Layer 2 Web Managed Switches

Qnap Systems, Inc. released the QSW-M2106 Series desktop 10-port Layer 2 Web managed switches, including the QSW-M2106-4C and QSW-M2106-4S.

Supporting 2.5GbE, 10GbE and practical Layer 2 management functions, the QSW-M2106 series satisfies high-bandwidth requirements of servers and LAN infrastructure for SMBs.

“Compared with the previous QSW-M2108 series, the Qnap QSW-M2106 switch series includes up to 4x10GbE SFP+ ports or SFP+/RJ45 combo ports,” said Ricky Ho, product manager. “The QSW-M2106 series can be connected to not only the 10GbE backbone network, but also more 10GbE network devices and workstations for optimized bandwidth utilization and connection quality.“

QSW-M2106-4S

The QSW-M2106-4C comes with 4x10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo ports and 6×2.5GbE RJ45 ports (10 ports in total). The QSW-M2106-4S comes with 4x10GbE SFP+ ports and 6×2.5GbE RJ45 ports (10 ports in total). The QSW-M2106-4C is compatible with 10GbE and NBASE-T technologies to support 5 networking speeds (10, 5, 2.5, 1Gb/s and 100Mb/s), allowing administrators to realize higher network speeds with existing Cat 5e cables for 2.5GbE RJ45 ports and 6a cables (or better) for 10GbE RJ45 ports. QSW-M2106 series switches also provide Layer 2 management functions (such as LACP, VLAN, ACL and LLDP) via a Web GUI for efficient network bandwidth controls and enhanced network security.

The QSW-M2106 series is one of the few web-managed switches 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. Users 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. With its smart cooling system, QSW-M2106 series switches ensure high-speed network performance while minimizing distracting background noise.

Key specs:

• QSW-M2106-4C: 10 ports (4x10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo ports and 6×2.5GbE RJ45 ports).

• QSW-M2106-4S: 10 ports (4x10GbE SFP+ ports and 6×2.5GbE RJ45 ports).

Compliant with IEEE 802.3x and IEEE 802.3az; auto Negotiation; 10GE RJ45 port of QSW-M2106-4C is compatible with 10GbE and NBASE-T technologies to support 5 network speeds (10, 5, 2.5, 1Gb/s and 100Mb/s).
