Qnap LQSW-IM1200-8C Industrial-Grade 10GbE 12-Port Switch

Qnap Systems, Inc. released the QSW-IM1200-8C industrial-grade 10GbE switch.

Featuring Layer 2 management functions in the QSS OS and an industrial-grade hardware design, it accelerates high-speed network deployment in the rugged environments of Industry 4.0, smart transportation, and smart cities.

“With the growing prevalence of smart industries and factory automation, Qnap introduces a brand new industrial-grade 10GbE Managed Switch Solution, enabling user-friendly high-speed networking deployment in demanding environments,“ said said Ricky Ho, product manager.

The QSW-IM1200-8C complies with IP20-rated standards and uses a fanless design and smart ventilated construction to operate in temperatures from -30°C to 65°C in airy environments or from -30°C to 45°C in enclosed spaces. With 3 redundant DC power supplies and a circuit breaker, the electrical circuits are protected from potential overvoltage while ensuring constant operations in constant-motion factories and outdoor environments with varying power quality. Industrial computers (IPC) can be connected to the QSW-IM1200-8C via the company’s 10GbE network adapters to boost the performance of virtualization, surveillance, 3D printing, large-file data transfers, and other bandwidth-demanding tasks in high-speed industrial network environments.

The QSW-IM1200-8C comes with 4x10GbE SFP+ fiber ports and 8x10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo ports, and is compatible with Multi-Gigabit NBASE-T technologies to support 5 networking speeds (10, 5, 2.5, 1Gb/s and 100Mb/s), allowing the use of existing Cat 5e and 6a cables to obtain higher network speeds. It also provides Layer 2 management functions (such as LACP, VLAN, ACL and LLDP) via a Web GUI for network bandwidth controls and enhanced network security.
