QNAP Systems, Inc., an innovator in storage, networking, and data protection solutions, launched two new models in the QSW-L2110 Lite Managed Switch series, including the QSW-L2110-10T with 10G Base-T copper connectivity and the QSW-L2110-2S8T featuring 10G SFP+ fiber uplink capabilities.Designed specifically for small-to-medium enterprises, creative studios, and power users, both models offer a high-value 2.5GbE and 10GbE mix to help users achieve high-speed backbone modernization with optimized investment. Flexible 2.5GbE + 10GbE Architecture for High-Speed Connectivity As businesses upgrade to high-bandwidth Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 APs or deploy high-performance NAS, the aggregation capacity of the backend wired network becomes critical. The QSW-L2110 series features 2.5GbE Base-T ports compatible with existing Cat 5e or Cat 6 cabling, boosting endpoint device access speeds. The two models provide distinct choices to meet diverse infrastructure needs: QSW-L2110-10T: 2x 10GbE Base-T (RJ45) and 8x 2.5GbE Base-T ports, ideal for copper-based environments to directly connect servers or workstations QSW-L2110-2S8T: 2x 10GbE SFP+ fiber ports and 8x 2.5GbE Base-T ports, suitable for long-distance transmission or cascading core switches “Lite Managed” Efficiency: Flexible Control Without Complexity SME IT personnel often find unmanaged switches too basic and L2 switches overly complex. The QSW-L2110 series bridges this gap with its “Lite Managed” design and intuitive QSS web interface. This empowers administrators to easily deploy VLANs for segmentation, prioritize traffic with QoS, and aggregate bandwidth via LACP. “The QSW-L2110 series lowers the barrier to high-speed networking,” said Ronald Hsu, product manager, QNAP. “By merging 10GbE bandwidth with streamlined management, we enable stable architectures without complex protocols, ensuring IT budgets translate directly into operational productivity.” Office-Friendly, Silent, and Energy-Efficient To meet the needs of small offices and home studios, the QSW-L2110 series features a fanless design that maintains silent operation even under high loads, avoiding noise interference during daily work. The series also supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) to reduce operational power costs while maintaining high-speed connectivity.
