Qnap QSW-M3212R-8S4T Half-Width Rackmount 10GbE Managed 12-Port Switch

Qnap Systems, Inc. unveiled the half-width rackmount QSW-M3212R-8S4T L2 Web managed switch that features 12x10GbE high-speed ports (8xSFP+ ports and 4xRJ45 ports) and Layer 2 management functions, providing a networking solution for space-limited environments.

SMB/SOHO users will benefit from this product by being able to connect more 10GbE network devices with different interfaces at an affordable price.

“With a 38% reduction in size, the full 10GbE QSW-M3212R-8S4T is only 8.1 inches (207mm) wide, making it the top choice for IT administrators to deploy in constrained IT rooms,” said Jerry Deng, product manager. “Users can easily install one QSW-M3212R-8S4T along with another Qnap half-width rackmount switch in a 1U rack space for efficient physical space utilization and cabling.”

With 8x10GbE SFP+ fiber ports and 4x10GbE RJ45 ports (12 ports in total), the QSW-M3212R-8S4T is compatible with 10GbE and Multi-Gigabit NBASE-T technologies to support 5 speeds (10, 5G, 2.5, 1Gb and 100Mb) and enables higher network speeds with Cat 6a or Cat 7 cables for 10GbE RJ45 ports. 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.

The switch is one of the few web-managed switches that supports the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and is compliant with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet and IEEE802.3x Flow Control in full-duplex mode. Users can deploy small/medium-scale networks that support expansion, redundancy, and loop prevention, while avoiding packet loss from unparalleled bandwidth, and reducing power consumption for low-speed and inactive connections. With its smart cooling system, the product ensures fastd network performance while minimizing distracting background noise.
