Important features of the QSW-IM3216-8S8T
- 16 ports with 10GbE support: Eight SFP+ fiber ports and eight RJ45 multi-gigabit ports for maximum flexibility.
- Robust design: IP20-certified housing with fanless cooling for temperatures from -30°C to 65°C.
- Flexible power supply: Support for 9-54V DC with mains redundancy and protection features.
- Comprehensive management options: VLAN, QoS, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and more.
Efficient network solution for demanding environments
The QSW-IM3216-8S8T is specially designed for industrial applications and impresses with its versatility and robustness. The eight 10GbE SFP+ fiber ports enable high-performance connections to NAS systems, workstations or AV-over-IP devices. At the same time, the eight 10GbE RJ45 multi-gigabit ports offer backward compatibility to slower networks such as 5G, 2.5G or 1G, ensuring seamless integration into existing infrastructure.
The robust design according to IP20 standard makes the switch ideal for use in demanding environments. Thanks to a fully covered heat sink, the device remains noiseless and resistant to extreme temperatures. This predestines the switch for applications in smart cities, the automotive industry and factory automation.
User-friendliness and security
QNAP’s user-friendly QSS management software makes it easy to configure and monitor the network. Features such as IGMP snooping and VLAN allow you to efficiently control traffic and minimize unnecessary network load. With SNMP support and network management functions, administrators can optimally monitor and manage the switch.
The QSW-IM3216-8S8T ensures maximum security and reliability with automatic protection functions that are activated in the event of overvoltage or undervoltage. A built-in relay warns of power failures, ensuring uninterrupted operation – even in unstable electrical environments.
Versatile application possibilities
With a slim 1U rackmount design, the QSW-IM3216-8S8T can be flexibly mounted – whether in the rack, on the desktop or on the wall. This enables easy integration into a wide range of scenarios, from factory networks to intelligent traffic solutions. In combination with the QNAP TS-i410X Industrial NAS, it creates a powerful data transfer and storage solution that is specifically tailored to the requirements of modern Industry 5.0 environments.
Conclusion
The QNAP QSW-IM3216-8S8T offers an excellent combination of performance, reliability and flexibility for industrial networking applications. With state-of-the-art 10GbE technology, robust construction and versatile management options, it is a future-proof choice for demanding network infrastructures. The switch is available immediately at an RRP of €1,299. Further details can be found on the official website.
