Product Information
Full details
The QNAP QSW-M5216-1T is a high-performance, 16-port 25GbE SFP28 managed network switch designed for small to medium-sized businesses requiring rapid data transmission for storage, virtualization, and AI workloads. Its primary strength lies in its massive 820Gbps switching capacity and intuitive web-based management, making advanced network control accessible even to those without dedicated IT staff. One caveat to consider is that while it offers robust fiber connectivity, it lacks Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, meaning it is not suitable for powering devices like IP cameras or VoIP phones directly through the switch.
