QNAP QSW-2104-2T-R2 6-Port 2.5GbE/10GbE Unmanaged Switch
A 6-port fanless desktop switch with four 2.5GbE and two 10GBASE-T RJ45 ports, unmanaged and plug-and-play.
Why people pick it
- Two 10GBASE-T RJ45 ports for a 10G NAS and PC over standard Cat6a copper cabling
- Four 2.5GbE ports cover multi-gig devices without extra configuration
- Fanless design for silent placement on a desk
- 60 Gbps switching capacity with 30 Gbps non-blocking throughput
- Plug and play, with network loop detection that blocks looped ports
Know before you buy
- Unmanaged: no VLANs, link aggregation or monitoring
- Only 6 ports, so it suits a small NAS-and-PC cluster rather than a whole rack
- External 12V power adapter rather than an internal supply
- Energy Efficient Ethernet works on the 2.5G ports only
