QNAP QSW-IM3216-8S8T-US

Overview

The QNAP QSW-IM3216-8S8T-US is a 16-port 10GbE managed industrial network switch designed to provide fast and reliable connectivity in challenging environments. It features eight RJ45 ports and eight SFP+ ports, delivering a total switching capacity of 320 Gb/s and a non-blocking throughput of 160 Gb/s. This combination supports demanding applications such as manufacturing automation, smart city infrastructure, traffic management, and AV-over-IP systems, where high-speed data transfer and low latency are essential.

Built to endure harsh conditions, the switch operates within a temperature range from -22 to 149 degrees Fahrenheit when installed in well-ventilated areas. Its fanless design and IP20-rated metal housing offer shock resistance and quiet operation, making it suitable for industrial settings. Installation options include rack mounting, wall mounting, or desktop placement, allowing flexible integration into various network layouts.

Power reliability is ensured through dual DC inputs supporting 9 to 54 volts with built-in circuit breakers, providing continuous operation even if one power source fails. Network management is accessible via a web-based interface that supports VLAN, Quality of Service (QoS), Access Control Lists (ACL), and link aggregation, enabling administrators to optimize traffic, enhance security, and maintain smooth network performance.

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.
