QNAP Systems, Inc., a leading innovator in storage, networking, and data protection solutions, today launched two new models in the QSW-L2110 Lite Managed Switch series: the QSW-L2110-10T, with 10G Base-T copper connectivity, and the QSW-L2110-2S8T, featuring 10G SFP+ fiber uplink capabilities. Designed for small-to-medium enterprises, creative studios, and power users, both models offer a high-value mix of 2.5GbE and 10GbE ports to help users achieve high-speed backbone modernization with optimized investment.
As businesses upgrade to high-bandwidth Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 access points or deploy high-performance NAS, the aggregation capacity of the backend wired network becomes critical. The QSW-L2110 series features 2.5GbE Base-T ports compatible with existing Cat 5e or Cat 6 cabling, significantly boosting endpoint device access speeds. The QSW-L2110-10T provides 2x 10GbE Base-T (RJ45) and 8x 2.5GbE Base-T ports, ideal for copper-based environments. The QSW-L2110-2S8T offers 2x 10GbE SFP+ fiber ports and 8x 2.5GbE Base-T ports, suitable for long-distance transmission or cascading core switches.
SME IT personnel often find unmanaged switches too basic and Layer 2 switches overly complex. The series bridges this gap with its "Lite Managed" design and intuitive QSS web interface, allowing administrators to easily deploy VLANs for segmentation, prioritize traffic with QoS, and aggregate bandwidth via LACP. Ronald Hsu, Product Manager of QNAP, said, "The QSW-L2110 series lowers the barrier to high-speed networking. By merging 10GbE bandwidth with streamlined management, we enable stable architectures without complex protocols, ensuring IT budgets translate directly into operational productivity."
To suit small offices and home studios, the fanless design maintains silent operation even under high loads, avoiding noise interference during daily work. The series also supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) to reduce operational power costs while maintaining high-speed connectivity.
