QNAP QSW-M2116P-2T2S 20-Port 2.5GbE and 10GbE PoE++ Managed Switch

Power the Edge and Give It Room to Connect Bring high-speed data and managed power to access points, cameras and other compatible network devices. The QNAP QSW-M2116P-2T2S combines sixteen 2.5GbE PoE+ ports, two 10GbE PoE++ ports and two SFP+ connections, giving a busy business network twenty data ports and a shared 280W PoE budget. Highlights Power Where It Is Needed Sixteen 2.5GbE ports support up to 30W PoE+ each. Two 10GbE RJ45 ports support up to 90W PoE++ each, within the shared 280W budget. Keep the Backbone Moving Two additional 10GbE SFP+ ports provide flexible uplink connections. 160Gbps switching capacity supports a mixed high-speed network. Manage Data and Power Together QSS brings Layer 2 switching and PoE settings into a browser interface. Scheduling, monitoring and power prioritisation help manage connected devices. Key Features A Useful Balance of Powered Connections Use the sixteen 2.5GbE PoE+ ports for compatible access points, cameras and other devices needing up to 30W at the switch port. Two multi-gigabit 10GbE RJ45 ports support the higher 90W PoE++ class. Match the powered device to the relevant port standard, and calculate total demand against the shared 280W output budget. Dedicated Options for Uplinks Two SFP+ ports give the installation a separate route to suitable core switches, storage equipment or other network devices. The 10GbE RJ45 ports also negotiate lower multi-gigabit speeds for compatible equipment. Choose the correct optics, DAC cables and copper cabling for the planned distances and endpoints. PoE Management That Follows the Working Day Monitor power consumption, enable or disable power by port and schedule appropriate operating times through QSS. Power prioritisation helps administrators decide which connected devices should take precedence when planning the available budget. These controls simplify maintenance without adding a separate injector for every suitable device. Organise Services with Layer 2 Controls VLANs, LACP, QoS, IGMP snooping and LLDP provide practical tools for a business network carrying several services. Access control, rate limits, loop protection and port mirroring support traffic policy and troubleshooting. The switch supplies connectivity; recording, wireless coverage and other endpoint functions remain with the connected equipment. A Manageable Rack Installation The rackmount enclosure includes a fan status indicator and controlled cooling. Its browser dashboard brings port information and PoE consumption into one administration view, with an RJ45 console for appropriate local access. A power cord, rackmount kit, rubber feet and quick installation guide are supplied. Summary Choose the QSW-M2116P-2T2S for a network with many moderate-power PoE devices and a smaller number of demanding high-speed endpoints. It combines a substantial powered edge with 10GbE connectivity and central control, while keeping power planning visible and manageable. How many ports provide PoE power?ExpandCollapse Eighteen ports provide PoE: sixteen 2.5GbE RJ45 ports offer up to 30W PoE+ each, and two 10GbE RJ45 ports offer up to 90W PoE++ each. The two SFP+ data ports do not provide PoE. Can every PoE port run at its maximum power together?ExpandCollapse No. Per-port ratings share a total 280W PoE output budget. Add the requirements of the connected devices and allow suitable headroom; eighteen powered ports do not mean eighteen simultaneous maximum-power allocations. Are there twenty data ports or eighteen?ExpandCollapse There are twenty data ports: sixteen 2.5GbE RJ45, two 10GbE RJ45 and two 10GbE SFP+ connections. Eighteen of those are powered RJ45 ports. Can I schedule power to access points or signage?ExpandCollapse Yes. QSS provides PoE scheduling, power enable/disable controls, prioritisation and consumption monitoring. Select schedules that suit the actual devices and any services that must remain available. Does it record cameras or provide Wi-Fi itself?ExpandCollapse No. It supplies switching and compatible PoE power. Camera recording requires a suitable recorder or recording system, and wireless service requires the appropriate access points. What is included with the switch?ExpandCollapse The standard package includes the switch, power cord, rackmount kit, rubber feet and quick installation guide. Network cables, SFP+ modules and powered devices are selected separately. The switch has a two-year warranty. Read more
