NBASE-T Ethernet
The QSW-M408-2C is equipped with four 10GbE SFP+ ports (with two 10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo ports) and eight Gigabit ports. Compatible with 10GbE and NBASE-T technologies to support five speeds (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 100M), the QSW-M408-2C offers higher transmission speeds when used with existing cables.
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-M408-2C 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-M408-2C 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.
Energy saving
Compliant with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet and IEEE802.3x Flow Control in full-duplex mode, the QSW-M408-2C avoids packet loss from unparalleled bandwidth, and reduces power consumption for low-speed and inactive connections.
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-M408-2C provides four 10GbE SFP+ ports (with two 10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo 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-M408-2C is 96Gbps, guaranteeing the full potential of each port.
Note: The 10GbE SFP+ ports are backward compatible with 1GbE SFP; the RJ45 (copper) combo port supports up to five speeds (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 100M).
QSS: Intuitive Network Management Software with Web GUI
The QSW-M408-2C uses the QNAP Switch System (QSS), which features an easy-to-use Web GUI with value-added functions to simplify network set up and management.

QSS: The human-centered setting guide
QNAP Switch System (QSS) provides an overview dashboard, port management and setting guide to help administrators control Layer 2 networks.
Optimize Network Performance with bandwidth and packet control
The QSW-M408-2C provides bandwidth and packet control functions (such as LACP, VLAN, QoS, and IGMP Snooping) for boosting network performance through IP grouping and bandwidth management.
Powerful security and system functions
The QSW-M408-2C has powerful security and system functions (including ACL, LLDP, RSTP and Flow Control) to help administrators enhance network reliability using access controls, troubleshooting, loop prevention and avoiding packet loss.
Faster speeds using existing cables with 10GBASE-T & NBASE-T
The QSW-M408-2C is 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, more efficient data transfer.
Note: To achieve 10Gb/s speeds, if the distance between the switch and the device is less than 45 meters (148 feet), a Cat 6 cable can be used.
