QNAP QSW-M804-4C-US

Overview

The QNAP QSW-M804-4C-US is a managed 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to provide fast and reliable network transfers for teams handling large data loads. With a switching capacity of up to 160 Gb/s and eight ports that include four dedicated SFP+ fiber ports and four combo SFP+/RJ45 ports, it supports flexible connectivity options for both fiber and copper cables. This switch is ideal for environments that require smooth handling of large file transfers, virtual machine traffic, and high-bandwidth applications.

Key features

• Four 10 GbE SFP+ fiber ports enable high-speed backbone connections suitable for long cable runs and existing fiber infrastructures.
• Four combo SFP+/RJ45 ports offer the flexibility to switch between copper and fiber connections based on network needs.
• Layer 2 management features such as VLAN tagging and Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP) allow for traffic segmentation and bandwidth optimization.
• Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) provides network redundancy to prevent downtime caused by cable faults or switch failures.
• Energy-efficient design with a quiet 40 mm cooling fan reduces power consumption and noise, making it suitable for server rooms and small offices.
• Rack-mountable chassis with included installation hardware simplifies deployment and fits standard rack setups.

Connectivity and compatibility

This switch supports a mix of fiber and copper connections, making it adaptable to various network infrastructures. The dedicated SFP+ ports are ideal for fiber backbones, while the combo ports allow easy switching between fiber and copper cables without changing hardware. It integrates well with existing 10 GbE networks and can consolidate multiple 1 GbE links into a streamlined 10 GbE core, supporting devices such as servers, workstations, and backup systems.

Performance and reliability

Designed to maintain smooth data flow even during peak usage, the switch’s high switching capacity and throughput prevent bottlenecks in demanding environments. Layer 2 controls help balance traffic and isolate network segments, while Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol ensures continuous operation by quickly rerouting traffic if a failure occurs. The efficient cooling system keeps the hardware stable and extends its lifespan.

Ideal uses and environments

This switch fits well in creative studios handling 4K video editing, research labs processing large datasets, and small to medium businesses seeking to upgrade their network backbone. It is also a strong choice for top-of-rack deployment in server rooms where low latency and high bandwidth are critical. Its flexible port options and management features make it suitable for IT professionals who need a reliable and scalable network solution.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
