QNAP QSW-1108-8T-R2 8-Port 2.5GbE Unmanaged Switch
An 8-port fanless desktop switch where every port is 2.5GbE RJ45, unmanaged and plug-and-play.
Why people pick it
- All 8 ports run 2.5GbE, so every device gets multi-gig speed without a transceiver
- Fanless and compact for silent desk or media-console placement
- 40 Gbps switching capacity with 20 Gbps non-blocking throughput
- Plug and play, with network loop detection that blocks looped ports
- Low 12 W maximum power draw
Know before you buy
- No 10G ports; 2.5GbE is the ceiling on every port
- Unmanaged: no VLANs, link aggregation or monitoring
- Only 8 ports, so larger multi-gig networks need an uplink to a bigger switch
- External 12V power adapter rather than an internal supply
