The QSW-M2106PR-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-M2106PR-2S2T is 110Gbps, guaranteeing the full potential of each port.

CAT 5e | CAT 6 | CAT 6A & CAT 7 | |
---|---|---|---|
100M | YES | YES | YES |
1G | YES | YES | YES |
2.5G | YES | YES | YES |
5G | YES | YES | YES |
10G | YES (55m) | YES |
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.
Dependable performance with effective heat dissipation
With a compact metal body, the QSW-M2106PR-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.
