Asustor ASW209X Switch’nstor 9 Gen2 2.5GbE Switch

A Quieter Network with Room to Move Switch’nstor 9 Gen2 brings faster wired connections to a compact desk or workgroup. Eight 2.5GbE Ethernet ports connect compatible NAS systems, computers and other network devices, while a separate 10GbE SFP+ port provides a higher-speed path to suitable upstream equipment. Its fanless metal enclosure keeps the network close at hand without adding fan noise. Highlights Eight 2.5GbE RJ45 ports with 1GbE and 100Mbps compatibility One SFP+ uplink supporting 10GbE, 2.5GbE and 1GbE links Unmanaged operation with a 60Gbps switching capacity Fanless metal enclosure for desktop or wall mounting Key Features Give Everyday Devices a Faster Connection A 2.5GbE link can improve the connection between compatible clients and shared storage without changing every device at once. Existing gigabit devices can connect alongside faster equipment. Actual file-transfer speed still depends on the NAS drives, client hardware, cabling and workload. Plan the Uplink Around the Network Use the SFP+ port with a compatible transceiver, fibre connection or direct-attach cable suited to both ends. These connection components are selected separately. A faster uplink helps aggregate suitable traffic from several clients; it does not turn a 2.5GbE client port into a 10GbE connection. Keep Setup Straightforward This is an unmanaged switch, designed for a simple wired network without a web-management console. It is suitable where straightforward connectivity matters more than configurable switching policies. It does not supply PoE power to access points, cameras or other devices. Designed for a Shared Workspace Fanless cooling and a compact metal chassis suit an office desk, media workspace or small equipment area. Desktop feet and wall-mount provision give installation flexibility. Leave the ventilation clear and use the supplied power adapter within the specified operating conditions. Summary ASW209X suits a quiet NAS and workstation network that needs more 2.5GbE connections and a faster uplink, with simple installation and no switch-management overhead. Frequently Asked Questions Does ASW209X provide PoE power?ExpandCollapse No. It carries network data but does not power connected devices. Use a suitable separate power supply or PoE injector where the connected equipment requires one. Can I connect an existing gigabit device?ExpandCollapse Yes. The RJ45 ports support 2.5Gbps, 1Gbps and 100Mbps links. The connected device and cable determine the negotiated speed. What do I need for the SFP+ uplink?ExpandCollapse Choose a compatible SFP/SFP+ module or direct-attach cable for the switch, link speed and equipment at the other end. A suitable uplink component is required separately. Can I configure VLANs or link aggregation on the switch?ExpandCollapse ASW209X is unmanaged and has no configuration console. Choose a managed switch when the installation requires configurable VLANs or switch-managed link aggregation. Will it make one computer transfer files at 10Gbps?ExpandCollapse Only a complete supported 10GbE path can provide that link speed. A computer on one of the 2.5GbE RJ45 ports remains limited by that port, and storage performance also affects transfers. Is it suitable for a quiet office?ExpandCollapse The switch is fanless. Its operating range is −10°C to 50°C, with ventilation and the supplied power adapter required for normal use. 阅读更多
