The QNAP QSW-1208-8C is a 12-port 10GbE unmanaged switch, allowing you to instantly upgrade your network environment at a cost-effective price. The QSW-1208-8C supports 10GBASE-T and NBASE-T standards, allowing you to take advantage of higher network speeds with your existing Cat 5e and 6a cables. Both SFP+ (fiber) and RJ45 (copper) ports are available (with 8 combo ports) for servicing a range of network needs. Compliant with IEEE 802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet, EEE), the QSW-1208-8C is energy efficient as well. With high performance, low latency and superb functionality, the QSW-1208-8C is the ideal choice for upgrading your home or business network to support 10GbE connections.Faster speeds using existing cables with 10GBASE-T & NBASE-TThe QSW-1208-8C is compatible with 10GbE and NBASE-T technologies to provide higher transmission speeds with existing cables. Depending on cable types and their lengths, different speeds can be achieved for faster, more efficient data transfers. The QSW-1208-8C is also backwards compatible to provide connectivity with legacy devices.Flexible deployment with eight combo portsThe 12-port QSW-1208-8C switch offers four SFP+ (fiber) ports, and eight SFP+/RJ45 (copper) combo ports for connecting different interfaces to the same switch. With RJ45 interfaces, 10 GbE is supported with Cat 6a (or above) cables. Alternatively, direct attach copper (DAC) cables can be used with SFP+ ports for connecting to servers inside a rack. The switching capacity of the QSW-1208-8C is 240 Gbps, guaranteeing the full potential of each port.Note: For the speed of 10 Gbps, if the distance between the switch and the device is shorter than 45 meters (148 feet), a Cat 6 cable can be used.Near-silent and energy savingWith its smart cooling system, the QSW-1208-8C works quietly to ensure high-speed network performance without generating distracting background noise. IEEE 802.3az (EEE) support also reduces power consumption without sacrificing performance or functionality. By dynamically detecting link speeds and activities and adjusting accordingly, the QSW-1208-8C provides energy savings of up to 50% to minimize lifetime operational costs.Versatile installation and sleek appearanceThe QSW-1208-8C features a sleek modern design that blends in with existing digital homes and offices. A Rackmount Kit is also included at no extra cost for installing the QSW-1208-8C in a rack.

Fans always run, but are quiet, almost inaudible. Uses 16 watts without anything plugged in. Uses 18 watts with one 10 gig idle connection. Built very sturdy and is pretty heavy for its size. I would recommend this switch if your in the market for 10 gig.

Nice 10 gig switch

Purchased this for my home network to add 10g speed for my photo and video workflow. I have 2 QNAP  NAS devices and my PC’s hooked up this to perform backups, editing over the network, etc... definitely a big upgrade to speed and my overall workflow.

Fast and great quality

Good upgrade to home networking.  Super fast transfer speed between my QNAP NAS gigs!
