QNAP launches the QSW-M2130 series, a range of L2 web-managed switches that combine access and aggregation. The QSW-M2130P-2C2S26T supports PoE++ with a 375W power budget, ideal for modern office networks.
QNAP is expanding its network portfolio with the QSW-M2130 series, designed for businesses looking to build a scalable and efficient network infrastructure. The series consists of two models: the QSW-M2130-4C2S24T and the QSW-M2130P-2C2S26T, both of which combine 2.5GbE and 10GbE ports.
These switches can function as both access and aggregation switches. They offer twenty-four 2.5GbE ports for connecting workstations, NAS, and other end devices, and 10GbE ports to aggregate traffic to the core network.
PoE++ support for modern equipment
The PoE model, QSW-M2130P-2C2S26T, supports the IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ standard. With a total of 375 watts, it can power devices such as Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 access points, 4K IP cameras, and digital signage. Each port delivers up to 90 watts or 45 watts, depending on requirements.
Ronald Hsu, product manager at QNAP, emphasizes that the biggest challenge in modern networks is often a messy architecture due to unstructured growth. The new series aims to provide a solution by combining scalability and control.
Features for optimal network performance
Both models feature flexible 10GbE combo ports that support both copper and fiber. Additionally, they offer comprehensive Layer 2 management features such as LACP, QoS, VLAN, and IGMP Snooping. Security is ensured through ACL, DoS prevention, RSTP, and Flow Control.
The switches are managed via the QNAP Switch System (QSS), featuring an intuitive web interface for easy port management and firmware updates.
