QNAP QSW-M3216R-8S8T-US

Overview

The QNAP QSW-M3216R-8S8T-US is a 16-port managed network switch designed to provide high-speed 10 Gigabit connectivity through eight RJ45 Ethernet ports and eight SFP+ fiber ports. It supports data transfer speeds up to 10 Gb/s per port, making it suitable for demanding environments like data centers, enterprise networks, and professional workgroups. Its half-width 1U rackmount design allows two units to fit side-by-side in a single rack space, optimizing limited rack environments without sacrificing performance.

With a switching capacity of 320 Gb/s and a non-blocking throughput of 160 Gb/s, this switch handles heavy network traffic efficiently, ensuring smooth data flow. The metal chassis and dual fan cooling system maintain reliable operation under continuous load, while the web-based QNAP Switch System (QSS) interface simplifies management and configuration.

Key features

• Provides versatile high-speed connections with eight 10GbE RJ45 ports and eight 10GbE SFP+ ports, supporting both copper and fiber networks.
• Supports Layer 2 management features such as VLAN for network segmentation, ACL for access control, LACP for link aggregation, and RSTP for network redundancy, enhancing security and network organization.
• Half-width 1U rackmount form factor saves valuable rack space, allowing efficient deployment in dense server environments.
• Dual fan cooling system combined with a sturdy metal chassis ensures effective heat dissipation and stable operation even under heavy workloads.
• Web-based QSS interface offers centralized control, making it easier to configure, monitor, and maintain the network switch remotely.
• Supports a 16K MAC address table and jumbo frames up to 9K bytes, which improves performance when handling large data packets common in video editing and virtualization tasks.
• IGMP Snooping and QoS priority management optimize network traffic flow, reducing congestion and improving overall network responsiveness.
• Internal power supply with a wide input range of 100-240 VAC allows flexible installation in various power environments.
• Designed to operate reliably within a temperature range of 0 to 40°C and humidity levels from 5 to 95%, suitable for typical server room conditions.

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.
