10GbE SFP+ connectivity
The QSW-M408S is equipped with four 10GbE SFP+ ports and eight Gigabit ports for connecting various devices.
User-friendly management interface
Featuring a user-friendly web UI, the QNAP Switch System (QSS) provides an overview dashboard, port management and setting guide, making central network management intuitive and easy.
Layer 2 network
The QSW-M408S provides Layer 2 management features, such as LACP, VLAN, ACL and LLDP for IT administrators to efficiently control the network bandwidth and enhance security.
RSTP protocol
The QSW-M408S is one the few web-managed switches that supports Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP). You can easily and efficiently deploy small/medium-scale networks that support expansion, redundancy and loop prevention.
Flow Control
Compliant with IEEE802.3x Flow Control in full-duplex mode, the QSW-M408S avoids packet loss from unparalleled bandwidth.
Online OS update
QSS (QNAP Switch System) helps administrators update firmware with just one click, ensuring network security.
Flexible deployment with multiple 10G SFP+ fiber and Gigabit ports
The QSW-M408S provides four 10GbE SFP+ ports and eight Gigabit ports for connecting various devices and enabling hybrid high-speed networks. With SFP+ interfaces, direct attach copper (DAC) cables can be used for connecting directly to SFP+ devices. You can also use 10G-SFP-T copper transceiver modules to connect 10GBASE-T/NBASE-T™ devices through RJ45 Category 6, 5 or 5e cabling. The switching capacity of QSW-M408S is 96Gbps, guaranteeing the full potential of each port.
Note: The 10GbE SFP+ ports are backward compatible with 1GbE SFP.
