What is the QNAP QSW-M2130P-2C2S26T?
It is a 30-port L2 web-managed switch that integrates 2.5GbE access, multiple 10GbE uplink options and PoE++ power delivery. It is designed to connect workstations, NAS, servers, Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 access points, IP surveillance devices and other powered devices while supporting VLAN, QoS, LACP, ACL, LLDP and additional traffic-management features.
Integrated Access and Aggregation
Simplify multi-Gigabit network architecture by combining edge connectivity and high-speed uplinks in one switch.
In SMB and multi-floor office environments, the QSW-M2130P-2C2S26T can connect multiple 2.5GbE devices at the access layer and aggregate traffic through 10GbE connections to a core switch or data-centre backbone. This integrated design reduces fragmented network architecture while supporting scalable expansion and predictable performance.
The switch is made in Taiwan and provides a structured connectivity platform for offices, hotels, retail stores and campuses.
High-Power PoE++ for Access Points and Powered Devices
Deliver data and power across 2.5GbE and 10GbE connections from a total 375W PoE budget.
IEEE 802.3bt PoE++
Supports 12 ports with up to 90W output and 16 ports with up to 45W output.
28 PoE Ports
Provides 24 x 2.5GbE PoE ports and four 10GbE PoE ports for powered network deployment.
High-Power Device Support
Designed to power devices such as 4K IP cameras, wireless access points, IP phones, LED lights and digital signage.
Flexible 10GbE and 2.5GbE Connectivity
Use copper or fibre connections to suit existing cabling, distance and expansion requirements.
10GbE Combo Ports
Support either RJ45 copper or SFP+ fibre connections, simplifying upgrades without requiring a complete infrastructure change.
10GbE Base-T
Connect directly to servers, switches or NAS using standard Ethernet cabling without additional transceivers.
10GbE SFP+
Suitable for long-distance uplinks and high-speed backbone connections to core switches, servers or high-performance NAS.
2.5GbE Base-T
Provides high-density access for workstations, NAS, servers and edge devices using standard Ethernet cabling.
Five-Speed Copper Connectivity
Maintain compatibility with existing Ethernet devices while enabling higher multi-Gigabit speeds.
The 10GbE Base-T and RJ45 copper side of the Combo ports support 10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G and 100M speeds. This allows the switch to provide higher transmission speeds over compatible existing cabling while supporting devices operating at different Ethernet rates.
Layer 2 Bandwidth and Packet Control
Manage traffic, prioritisation, multicast delivery and network segmentation through QSS.
LACP
Combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and help protect against connection failure.
VLAN
Creates virtual networks that can group devices from different physical networks into a single logical network.
QoS
Prioritises bandwidth usage to optimise network resource allocation.
IGMP Snooping
Helps minimise unnecessary bandwidth use and reduces unwanted multicast traffic distribution.
Security and Network Reliability Functions
Use access controls, attack prevention, loop protection and traffic flow management to support network stability.
Access Control List
Filters packets according to defined rules to provide firewall-like access protection.
DoS Attack Prevention
Helps protect system resources from malicious traffic intended to disrupt legitimate network access.
RSTP
Maintains a loop-free Ethernet topology by controlling whether network paths block or forward traffic.
Flow Control
Balances traffic between sender and receiver to help avoid congestion and packet loss.
QSS Web Management and Online Updates
A browser-based interface for switch configuration, monitoring and firmware maintenance.
QSS (QNAP Switch System) provides a user-friendly web management interface for configuring Layer 2 functions and controlling network bandwidth. Administrators can also perform online firmware updates with one click to help keep the switch software current.
