QNAP QSW-1108-8T 2.5 Gbit/s Unmanaged 8 x Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 Network Switch

With the rapid development of the network, 1Gbps speed has become the basic speed. Many large enterprises have begun to adopt 10GbE networks and equipment. However, the cost of fully setting up a 10GbE network is not low, and small and medium-sized enterprises, studios and home environments may not be able to cope with it. Therefore, in recent years, 1GbE + 2.5GbE, 2.5GbE and 2.5GbE + 10GbE hybrid products have begun to appear, providing lower-cost and affordable solutions to increase network speed. Key Features: It supports three speeds (2.5G/1G/100M) and provides higher transmission speeds with existing Cat 5e cables. Without the need for complicated configuration settings, while ensuring optimal performance thanks to automatic negotiation. Automatic loop detection and blocking ensures network continuity. The unique fanless design with built-in vents ensures virtually silent operation. The QSW-1108-8T features 8×2.5GbE/NBASE-T RJ45 ports that support 2.5Gb/s/1Gb/s/100MB/s transfer speeds. With no complex settings required, it supports auto-negotiation that optimizes transfer speeds and performance for each connected device, while its built-in management mechanism ensures smooth transmission of network packets. What we introduce this time is the newly released Switch product from Taiwans NAS and network brand QNAP QSW-1108-8T, which provides 8 x 2.5GbE Port Unmanaged Switch (no network management function). It can be regarded as the QSW-1105- launched by this brand at the beginning of the year. Extended version of the 5T. In addition to featuring a full 2.5GbE LAN Port, it also supports Multi-Gigabit technology, adopts a fanless silent design, plug-and-play, painless upgrade (you can reuse your own 1GbE LAN cable), and is affordable.

Supports three speeds (2.5G / 1G / 100M) and provides higher transmission speeds with existing Cat 5e cables. 2.5GbE balances cost and performance, allowing you to see immediate benefits without a huge investment . Automatic loop detection and blocking to ensure continuous network operation. The unique fanless design with ventilated construction provides near-silent operation. There are power/status lights and loop indicator lights on the front of the fuselage, so the operating status of the Switch can be seen at a glance. Even if a loop is found, there is no need to worry about crashing the entire network, because QNAP's Switch can detect and block loops. When a situation occurs, the network port with the loop will be directly locked so that the network environment can return to normal in the shortest time. In recent years, many Desktop, Notebook and NAS devices have built-in LAN Cards that support 2.5GbE or higher network speeds. Switch serves as the central point for aggregating various network devices. If the bandwidth supported is insufficient, it will cause problems for the entire network. Bottleneck position. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to purchase a 2.5GbE or higher Switch product to avoid this. This only requires the cost of purchasing a 1 Gigabit Switch plus a little more budget (such as QSW-1108-8T, QSW-1105-5T). , which can increase the intranet speed of the working environment by up to 2.5 times. Even if the device does not support 2.5GbE LAN, you can upgrade it by purchasing a 2.5GbE PCI-E LAN Card (such as QXG-2G1T-I225). The entry threshold is not high, and the cheapest price is more than 100 yuan. The QNAP QSW-1108-8T is mainly aimed at small and medium-sized offices with many devices.
