QNAP QSW-M2106R-2S2T 10-Port 2.5Gb & 10Gb Managed Network Switch

The QNAP QSW-M2106R-2S2T-US is a managed network switch that gives you ten ports of multigigabit speed in a single rack-mountable unit. Six 2.5G RJ45 ports handle everyday workstations and access points, while two 10G RJ45 ports accelerate servers, storage arrays, or high-end desktops. Two additional 10G SFP+ slots open the door to fiber links for longer runs or direct-attach cables inside the rack.

This flexible mix of ports makes the switch an easy fit for small and midsize businesses, creative studios, and home labs where large file transfers, virtual machines, or 4K media streams need consistent bandwidth. You can connect laptops and Wi-Fi 6 access points at 2.5G, then reserve the 10G ports for network-attached storage or a core router, all on the same device.

Configuration happens through the browser-based QNAP Switch System, so tasks such as creating VLANs, applying access control lists, or checking real-time traffic graphs take only a few clicks. Layer 2 features including VLAN, ACL, and LLDP help isolate guest networks, protect sensitive data, and discover devices automatically without adding extra appliances.

The chassis occupies half the width of a standard 1U rack shelf, letting you place two units side by side or free up valuable rack space for other gear. A metal enclosure and an efficient cooling design maintain steady temperatures with minimal noise, which keeps the switch suitable for shared offices, conference rooms, or deskside racks.

Whether you are upgrading a growing office, building out a production studio, or fine-tuning a personal lab, this switch delivers the speed, management options, and physical flexibility that modern networks demand.
