QNAP QSW-M3216R-8S8T Switch de red gestionado L2/L3 10G Ethernet (100/1000/10000) 1U negro

The QNAP QSW-M3216R-8S8T is a half-width, rackmount managed switch designed for high-speed 10GbE networks. It offers eight 10GbE SFP+ fiber ports and eight 10GbE RJ45 ports in a compact 1U-compatible form factor, enabling space-saving installations and the ability to mount two units in a single 1U rack space. The switch supports Layer 2 management features and is made in Taiwan (MIT), providing a reliable networking solution for small to medium deployments.

Advantages

The QSW-M3216R-8S8T combines multi-gigabit connectivity with a space-efficient half-width design, simplifying deployment in constrained environments. Its user-friendly QNAP Switch System (QSS) web interface offers a clear dashboard and guided port management, while Layer 2 functions (LACP, VLAN, ACL, LLDP) and support for RSTP improve network control, redundancy and security. Online firmware updates and IEEE 802.3x flow control help maintain stable, secure operation under heavy loads.

Suitable for

• Small to medium business networks requiring multiple 10GbE uplinks
• Rack-constrained server rooms where space-saving half-width units are needed
• Environments using both SFP+ and 10GBASE-T devices (fiber/DAC and RJ45)
• IT teams that need basic managed Layer 2 features with a simple web UI

How to use

Install the QSW-M3216R-8S8T in a rack or on a shelf using the half-width mounting options; two units can share a single 1U space if required. Connect servers, NAS devices, uplinks and switches using SFP+ modules or Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables for fiber-compatible ports, and use Category 6 (or better) cabling for 10GBASE-T connections on the RJ45 ports. Access the QNAP Switch System (QSS) Web GUI to perform initial setup, configure VLANs, LACP, ACLs and enable RSTP as needed. Use the online firmware update feature to keep the switch firmware current.

Recommendations

For optimal 10GbE performance, use quality SFP+ modules or DAC cables for SFP+ ports and Category 6A cabling for 10GBASE-T RJ45 connections. Enable Flow Control and monitor port statistics via QSS to reduce packet loss under heavy traffic. Keep firmware up to date using the QSS online update to ensure security and compatibility.
