Before you delve into the world of high-speed networking, consider the QNAP QSW-M804-4C 8-Port Management Switch. This Layer 2 Web Managed Switch is equipped with four 10GbE SFP+ ports and four 10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo ports, enabling rapid data transfer speeds and simultaneous multi-workstation access to large files. This makes it an ideal solution for bandwidth-intensive tasks such as video editing, multimedia, and virtualization.

The QSW-M804-4C is a cost-effective solution for businesses and organizations looking to leverage the power of 10GbE connectivity. It supports Layer 2 switching and offers a user-friendly entry-level network management solution. The switch includes four 10GbE SFP+/ RJ45 combo ports, compatible with 10GbE and NBASE-T technologies, supporting five speeds (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 100M) using existing cables.

The QNAP Switch System (QSS) simplifies central network management with its easy-to-use interface, providing an overview dashboard, port management, and setting guide. The QSW-M804-4C also offers Layer 2 management features such as LACP, VLAN, ACL, and LLDP, enabling IT staff to efficiently manage network bandwidth and enhance security.

This switch is one of the few web-managed switches that support Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), facilitating the efficient deployment of small to medium-scale networks that require expansion, redundancy, and loop prevention. It complies with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet and IEEE802.3x Flow Control in full-duplex mode, minimizing packet loss from unparalleled bandwidth and reducing power consumption for low-speed and inactive connections.

The QSW-M804-4C switch includes four SFP+ (fiber) ports, and four SFP+/RJ45 (copper) combo ports for connecting different interfaces. With RJ45 interfaces, 10GbE is supported using Cat 6a (or above) cables. Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables can be used with SFP+ ports for connecting to servers inside a rack. The switching capacity of the QSW-M804-4C is 240 Gbps, guaranteeing the full potential of each port.

QNAP is a pioneer in 10GbE adoption, offering NAS with built-in 10GbE SFP+ and 10GBASE-T ports, or NAS with PCIe slots that support 10GbE network adapters. Other high-speed network solutions from QNAP include Thunderbolt 3 to 10GbE Network Adapters and USB 3.2 Gen 1 to 5GbE Network Adapters. These can all be used with the QSW-M804-4C to create a comprehensive high-speed network environment for boosting the performance of photo/video editing, virtualization, large-file data transfers, and other bandwidth-demanding tasks.

The QSW-M804-4C also offers 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. With its smart cooling system, the QSW-M804-4C ensures high-speed network performance without distracting background noise. IEEE 802.3az (EEE) support also reduces power consumption without sacrificing performance or functionality, providing energy savings of up to 50% to minimize operational costs.

The QSW-M804-4C features a sleek modern design that blends in with modern digital homes and offices. A Rackmount Kit is included to provide extra installation options. Experience the power and efficiency of high-speed networking with the QNAP QSW-M804-4C 8-Port Management Switch.
