QNAP® Systems, Inc., a leading computing, networking, and storage solutions innovator, today released the half-width Rackmount QSW-M2106PR-2S2T 10-port Layer 2 Web managed PoE Switch. Supporting 2.5GbE, 10GbE and 90-watt PoE++, the QSW-M2106PR-2S2T empowers next-generation ultra-high-speed and high-power Wi-Fi 6/ Wi-Fi 6E/ Wi-Fi 7 applications. The QSW-M2106PR-2S2T not only provides Layer 2 and intelligent PoE management functions via a user-friendly network management system, but also adopts half-width rackmount design for flexible cabinet space utilization. The QSW-M2106PR-2S2T is the ideal SMB network solution for efficient IT room deployment and remote central management.

"Wireless technology has evolved from Wi-Fi 6 to Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, driving prevailing demands for high-speed and high-power APs and routers,” said Ricky Ho, Product Manager of QNAP, adding “QNAP’s half-width rackmount PoE switch, QSW-M2106PR-2S2T, offers multiple high-speed PoE Ports which can be intelligently managed with a space-saving chassis, facilitating deploying next-generation wireless network infrastructure."

The QSW-M2106PR-2S2T comes with two 10GbE SFP+ fiber ports, two 10GbE 802.3bt 90-watt PoE ports and six 2.5GbE 802.3bt 90-watt PoE ports (ten ports in total). The QSW-M2106PR-2S2T is compatible with 10GbE, 2.5GbE and Multi-Gigabit NBASE-T technologies to enable higher network speeds with existing Cat 5e cables for 2.5GbE RJ45 ports and 6a cables (or better) for 10GbE RJ45 ports. The 10GbE ports support five speeds (10Gbps, 5Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 1Gbps and 100Mbps).

The QSW-M2106PR-2S2T uses the QNAP Switch System (QSS) and features intelligent PoE management functions (including scheduling, power supply prioritization, and power enabling/disabling) that allow IT staff to efficiently control powered devices via a user-friendly web GUI. The QSW-M2106PR-2S2T provides Layer 2 management functions (including LACP, VLAN, QoS and IGMP Snooping) for efficient network bandwidth control and enhanced network security. With a half-width rackmount design, two QSW-M2106PR-2S2T or one QSW-M2106PR-2S2T with another half-width rackmount switch, QSW-M2106R-2S2T can be installed in a 1U rack space for efficient physical space utilization and tidy cabling.
