QSW-M2106R-2S2T

10GbE and 2.5GbE Layer 2 Web Managed Switch for SMB Network Deployment

Half-width design, two models in 1U

With a half-width rackmount design, a QSW-M2106R-2S2T can be installed in a 1U rack space with another half-width rackmount switch (such as QSW-M2108R-2C) for efficient physical space utilization and tidy cabling.

Note: The optional SP-EAR-QSW2FOR1-01 rackmount kit is required if two half-width rackmount switches are installed.

Flexible deployment with multiple 10G SFP+ fiber and Multi-Gigabit ports

The QSW-M2106R-2S2T provides two 10GbE SFP+ ports, two 10GbE RJ45 ports and six 2.5 Gigabit ports for connecting various devices and enabling hybrid high-speed networks. With SFP+ interfaces, Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables can be used for connecting directly to SFP+ devices. You can also use RJ45 ports to connect 10GBASE-T/NBASE-T™ devices through RJ45 Category 6a (or better) cabling. The switching capacity of the QSW-M2106R-2S2T is 110Gbps, guaranteeing the full potential of each port.

Note 1: 10GbE SFP+ ports are backward compatible with 1GbE SFP; the 10GbE RJ45 (copper) ports support up to five speeds (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 100M).
Note 2: If the distance between the switch and the device is less than 45 meters (148 feet), a Cat 6 cable can be used to achieve 10Gb/s speeds.

Optimize Network Performance with bandwidth and packet control

The QSW-M2106R-2S2T provides bandwidth and packet control functions (such as LACP, VLAN, QoS, and IGMP Snooping) to boost network performance through IP grouping and bandwidth management.

LACP	VLAN	QoS	IGMP Snooping
Link Aggregation (LAG) combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and protect against connection failure.	Virtual Networks (VLAN) allows groups of devices from different networks to be combined into a single network.	QoS (Quality of Service) helps prioritize bandwidth usage to optimize network resource allocation.	IGMP snooping assists in minimizing bandwidth loss and preventing network information leakage.

Powerful security and system functions

The QSW-M2106R-2S2T has 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.

ACL	LLDP	RSTP	Flow Control
Access Control List filters packets based on rules to offer firewall-like security protection.	Link Layer Discovery Protocol allows devices to advertise device information to their directly connected peers/neighbors, simplifying troubleshooting processes.	Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol, RSTP ensures a loop-free topology for Ethernet networks by blocking or forwarding traffic.	Flow Control balances the traffic between a sender and a receiver to avoid network congestion.

Dependable performance with effective heat dissipation

With a compact metal body, the QSW-M2106R-2S2T provides stable and reliable operations while staying near-silent even when under full load. The front-panel LEDs also assist in viewing the current system status.
