Qnap QSW-M2106PR-2S2T Half-Width Rackmount 10-Port Layer 2 Web Managed PoE Switch

Qnap Systems, Inc. released the half-width rackmount QSW-M2106PR-2S2T 10-port Layer 2 Web managed PoE switch.

Supporting 2.5GbE, 10GbE and 90W PoE++, the QSW-M2106PR-2S2T empowers next-gen high-speed and high-power Wi-Fi 6/ Wi-Fi 6E/ Wi-Fi 7 applications. It not only provides Layer 2 and intelligent PoE management functions via a user-friendly network management system, but also adopts half-width rackmount design for flexible cabinet space utilization. This switch is a SMB network solution for efficient IT room deployment and remote central management.

“Wireless technology has evolved from Wi-Fi 6 to Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, driving prevailing demands for high-speed and high-power APs and routers,” said Ricky Ho, product manager. “Qnap’s half-width rackmount PoE switch, QSW-M2106PR-2S2T, offers multiple high-speed PoE Ports which can be intelligently managed with a space-saving chassis, facilitating deploying next-generation wireless network infrastructure.“

The QSW-M2106PR-2S2T comes with 2x10GbE SFP+ fiber ports, 2x10GbE 802.3bt 90W PoE ports and 6×2.5GbE 802.3bt 90W PoE ports (10 ports in total). It is compatible with 10GbE, 2.5GbE and Multi-Gigabit NBASE-T technologies to enable higher network speeds with existing Cat 5e cables for 2.5GbE RJ45 ports and 6a cables (or better) for 10GbE RJ45 ports. The 10GbE ports support 5 speeds (10, 5, 2.5, 1Gbp/s and 100Mb/s).
