Flexible deployment with multiple 10G SFP+ fiber and Gigabit ports
The QSW-M2108-2C provides two 10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo ports and eight 2.5 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 RJ45 ports to connect 10GBASE-T/NBASE-T™ devices through RJ45 Category 6 (or better) cabling. The switching capacity of the QSW-M2108-2C is 80Gbps, guaranteeing the full potential of each port.
Note: 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).
Flexible deployment combo ports and 10GbE / NBASE-T
The QSW-M2108-2C is compatible with 10GbE and NBASE-T technologies to support five speeds (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 100M) using existing Cat 5e and Cat 6a cables. The SFP+/RJ45 (copper) combo ports provide higher transmission speeds with existing cables. Depending on cable type and lengths, different speeds can be achieved for faster, more efficient data transfer.
Note: If the distance between the switch and the device is less than 45 meters (148 feet), a Cat 6 cable can be used to achieve 10Gb/s speeds.

Optimize Network Performance with bandwidth and packet control
The QSW-M2108-2C provides bandwidth and packet control functions (such as LACP, VLAN, QoS, and IGMP Snooping) to boost network performance through IP grouping and bandwidth management.
| LACP | VLAN | QoS | IGMP Snooping |
|---|---|---|---|
| Link Aggregation (LAG) combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and protect against connection failure. | Virtual Networks (VLAN) allows groups of devices from different networks to be combined into a single network. | QoS (Quality of Service) helps prioritize bandwidth usage to optimize network resource allocation. | IGMP snooping assists in minimizing bandwidth loss and preventing network information leakage. |
Powerful security and system functions
The QSW-M2108-2C 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.
| ACL | LLDP | RSTP | Flow Control |
|---|---|---|---|
| - Access controls - Security system |
- Device disclosure - Troubleshooting |
- Loop prevention - Backup path |
- Balance speed - Jam prevention |
Desktop form factor for easy use in offices
With a compact and modern design, the QSW-M2108-2C stands out with its delicate textured surface design. The flexible DC power connector enables universal deployment of the QSW-M2108-2C and each port can be easily identified. Being fully plug-and-play, devices can be simply connected to the QSW-M2108-2C and immediately used.
