QNAP QSW-1108-8T-R2-US Ethernet Switch

High-Value 2.5GbE Switch in a Compact Case

Compared to upgrading directly to 10GbE, 2.5GbE is a more cost-effective and practical upgrade. QSW-1108-8T-R2 is an easy-to-own, entry-level 2.5GbE switch featuring BASE-T ports that work with existing cabling. With a compact desktop footprint and optimal number of ports, it makes upgrading to 2.5GbE easier than ever.

2.5GbE Performance - 2.5x Faster than Gigabit

The QSW-1108-8T-R2 features eight 2.5GBASE-T Ethernet ports and supports NBASE-T™ and Multi-Gigabit standards for 2.5G/1G/100M speeds, with a total switching capacity of 40Gbps. Connect devices like desktops, laptops, NAS, Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, set-top boxes, and game consoles for ultra-smooth backups, virtualization, media editing, and immersive entertainment.

Slim Body, Big Advantage

The QSW-1108-8T-R2 is 30% smaller than previous models and more compact than other multi-gigabit switches. With a clean LED display on the front and concentrated cabling on the back, it fits neatly in homes or small offices for efficient multi-device connectivity.

Auto-negotiation and Flow Control for optimized network performance

•  Auto negotiation automatically detects optimal transmission speeds (2.5G/1G/100Mb) based on connected devices, eliminating the need to replace old equipment.
• A 4K MAC Address Table and Jumbo Frame 12KB improves network transmission efficiency.
• IEEE 802.3x Flow Control prevents packet loss during congestion.

Loop Detection & Prevention

The QSW-1108-8T-R2 features network loop detection. If a network loop is detected, the QSW-1108-8T-R2 automatically locks the looped ports to ensure the network environment quickly resumes normal operation. Network loops may also occur within a region, and the system can detect and handle such situations as well.

Silent Fanless Operation

The QSW-1108-8T-R2 features a fanless design with internal heat sinks, metal heat dissipation plates, and vent holes to keep performance high and noise low-ideal for quiet work or living spaces.
