Company QNAP® Systems, Inc., a leading innovator in storage, networking and data protection, today introduced two new models in the QSW-L2110 Lite managed switch series, including QSW-L2110-10T with 10GbE Base-T metallic connection and QSW-L2110-2S8T with uplink capability via 10GbE SFP+ optical connectivity. Both models are designed primarily for small and medium-sized businesses, creative studios, and power users, offering a convenient combination of 2,5GbE and 10GbE ports for cost-effective backbone network upgrades.
Flexible 2,5GbE + 10GbE architecture for high-speed connectivity
When migrating to high-throughput Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 access points or deploying powerful NAS, additional aggregation capacity on the wired backbone is crucial. The QSW-L2110 series switches feature 2,5GbE Base-T ports compatible with existing Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables, significantly increasing the connection speed of end devices. Both models offer different connectivity options to suit your infrastructure needs:
- QSW-L2110-10T: 2× 10GbE Base-T (RJ45) and 8× 2,5GbE Base-T ports – ideal for bare metal environments with direct connection of servers or workstations.
- QSW-L2110-2S8T: 2× 10GbE SFP+ optical ports and 8× 2,5GbE Base-T ports – suitable for transmission over longer distances or for connecting backbone switches.
The efficiency of “Lite-managed” switches: flexible management without complexity
IT professionals in smaller businesses often find unmanaged switches too simple and L2 switches unnecessarily complex. The QSW-L2110 series fills this gap with its “Lite Managed” design and intuitive QSS web interface. Administrators can easily deploy VLANs to separate traffic, prioritize critical traffic with QoS, and aggregate bandwidth via LACP.
“The QSW-L2110 series makes high-speed networks accessible to a wider range of users,” says Ronald Hsu, product manager at the company. QNAP“By combining the high throughput of 10GbE with simple management, we enable you to build a stable network infrastructure without complex protocols, ensuring that your IT budget translates directly into increased productivity.”
Quiet, economical and suitable forancelas
Pro needs of small childrenancDesigned for offices and home studios, the QSW-L2110 series features fanless cooling that ensures quiet operation even under heavy load and eliminates distracting noise while working. The switches also support the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard, which reduces power consumption and operating costs while maintaining high-speed connectivity.
