Apple picker Press Release: QNAP® Systems, Inc., a leading innovator in computing and storage solutions, has introduced a series of 10-port desktop web-managed layer 2 switches - QSW-M2106, including models QSW-M2106-4C a QSW-M2106-4S. Offering support for 2106GbE, 2,5GbE and convenient Layer 10 management functions, the QSW-M2 series meets the high-bandwidth requirements of servers and LAN infrastructure and is an ideal choice for small and medium-sized businesses.
"Compared to the QSW-M2108 series, the QNAP QSW-M2106 series switches offer up to four 10GbE SFP+ ports or combined SFP+/RJ45 ports,” said Ricky Ho, product manager of QNAP. He adds: “The QSW-M2106 series switches can be connected not only to a 10GbE backbone network, but also to other 10GbE-enabled network devices and workstations for optimized bandwidth utilization and connection quality. "
The QSW-M2106-4C switch comes with four 10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo ports and six 2,5GbE RJ45 ports (ten ports in total). The QSW-M2106-4S switch comes with four 10GbE SFP+ ports and six 2,5GbE RJ45 ports (ten ports in total). The QSW-M2106-4C switch is compatible with 10GbE and NBASE-T technologies, supporting five network speeds (10Gbps, 5Gbps, 2,5Gbps, 1Gbps and 100Mbps) , which allows administrators to realize higher network speeds using existing Cat. 5e (with 2,5GbE RJ45 ports) and Cat. 6a or better (with 10GbE RJ45 ports) cables. The QSW-M2106 series switches also provide Layer 2 management functions (such as LACP, VLAN, ACL and LLDP) through a user-friendly web GUI for efficient network bandwidth management and enhanced network security.
The QSW-M2106 series is one of the few web-managed switches that support Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and is compatible with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet and IEEE802.3x for full-duplex flow control. Users can deploy small or medium-sized networks that support scalability, redundancy, and loop prevention while preventing packet loss with unmatched bandwidth and reducing power consumption for low-speed and inactive connections. Thanks to the smart cooling system, the QSW-M2106 series switches ensure high network speeds without emitting disturbing background noise.
