It integrates four 10GbE SFP+ ports and eight 10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo ports, facilitating substantial aggregate throughput. This port configuration allows concurrent, low-latency access to large datasets from multiple workstations, which is critical for I/O-intensive workflows such as video editing, multimedia post-production, and virtualization. By offering Layer 2 switching functionalities and an intuitive web management interface, the QSW-M1208-8C provides a cost-effective and easy-to-deploy 10GbE solution for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and organizations with advanced connectivity requirements. Its Made in Taiwan (MIT) manufacturing ensures a reliable and high-quality network product.
NBASE-T Ethernet
Includes eight 10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo ports. It supports 10GbE and NBASE-T technologies to enable five speeds (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 100M) using existing cables.
Easy-to-Use Management Interface
The QNAP Switch System (QSS) is user-friendly and offers an overview dashboard, a port management system, and a setup guide, making centralized network management more intuitive.
Layer 2 Network
Offers Layer 2 management functions (such as LACP, VLAN, ACL, and LLDP) to help IT staff effectively control network bandwidth and enhance security.
RSTP Protocol
One of the few web-managed switches that supports Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP). Easily and effectively deploy small to medium-sized networks that support expansion, redundancy, and loop prevention.
Flow Control
Compatible with IEEE802.3x flow control in full-duplex mode, the QSW-M1208-8C prevents packet loss with unparalleled bandwidth.
Online OS Update
QSS can be updated with a single click, helping IT staff ensure their network's security.
Flexible Deployment and 10GbE / NBASE-T Combo Ports
The 12-port QSW-M1208-8C switch includes four SFP+ (fiber) ports and eight SFP+/RJ45 (copper) combo ports, allowing for various connections. With RJ45 connections, 10GbE connectivity is supported using Cat 6a (or higher) cables. Copper direct attach cables (DAC) can be used with SFP+ ports for connection to rack servers. The QSW-M1208-8C's switching capacity is 240 Gbps, ensuring the full potential of each port. The QSW-M1208-8C is also compatible with 10GbE and NBASE-T technologies to support up to five speeds (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 100M). The SFP+/RJ45 (copper) combo ports provide higher transmission speeds with existing cables. Depending on cable types and their lengths, different speeds can be achieved for faster and more efficient data transfer.
