The QSW-M2106PR-2S2T is compliant with the IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ standard and offers 2-port 10GbE and 6-port 2.5GbE 90-watt PoE++ capabilities. The QSW-M2106PR-2S2T can supply a total power budget of 310 watts to meet the demands of many high-power devices (PDs) (such as 4K IP cameras, wireless APs, IP phones, LED lights, and digital signage).

Half-width design, two models in 1U
With a half-width rackmount design, a QSW-M2106PR-2S2T can be installed in a 1U rack space with another half-width rackmount switch (such as QSW-M2106R-2S2T) for efficient physical space utilization and tidy cabling.

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

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.

QSS: Human-centered settings guide
The QSW-M2106PR-2S2T uses the QNAP Switch System (QSS), featuring an easy-to-use Web GUI with Layer 2 management and value-added functions to simplify network set up and management.

Optimize Network Performance with bandwidth and packet control
The QSW-M2106PR-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.

Powerful security and system functions

How to use

Install the QSW-M2106PR-2S2T into a rack using the half-width mounting kit and connect SFP+ or RJ45 uplinks to core switches or servers. Connect PoE endpoints (access points, IP cameras, phones, signage) to the PoE-enabled RJ45 ports and use the QSS web GUI to configure Layer 2 settings, VLANs, link aggregation and PoE schedules. For 10GBASE‑T connections use Category 6a or better cabling; for SFP+ links use proper SFP+ modules or DAC cables as required.

Recommendations

Monitor PoE power allocation in QSS when deploying multiple high-power devices to avoid exceeding the 310 W budget; configure power prioritization and scheduling for critical devices and use VLANs and QoS to separate and manage high-bandwidth wireless backhaul traffic.
