10GbE/2.5GbE for Ultra-high-speed Wi-Fi Applications
From Wi-Fi 6 to Wi-Fi 6E and even the Wi-Fi 7, ultra-high-speed and high-power APs and Routers are driving up access point uplink requirements. Supporting multiple 10GbE/2.5GbE ports, the QSW-M2106PR-2S2T breaks through the bandwidth limitations of cabled and wireless networks to enhance your storage and access experience. With two 10GbE SFP+ ports for backbone network uplinking capability, the QSW-M2106PR-2S2T provides an ultra-high-speed Wi-Fi 6 wireless network infrastructure solution for small-to-medium businesses, hotels, and stores.
High PoE Capability– up to Eight-port 90W PoE++ and 310 Total Power Budget
The QSW-M2106PR-2S2T is compliant with the IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ standard and offers 2-port 10GbE and 6-port 2.5GbE 90-watt PoE++ capabilities. The QSW-M2106PR-2S2T can supply a total power budget of 310 watts to meet the demands of many high-power devices (PDs) (such as 4K IP cameras, wireless APs, IP phones, LED lights, and digital signage).

Half-width design, two models in 1U
With a half-width rackmount design, a QSW-M2106PR-2S2T can be installed in a 1U rack space with another half-width rackmount switch (such as QSW-M2106R-2S2T) for efficient physical space utilization and tidy cabling.
Note: A rackmount kit is required if two half-width rackmount switches are installed.
Flexible deployment with multiple 10G SFP+ fiber and Gigabit ports
The QSW-M2106PR-2S2T provides two 10GbE SFP+ ports, two 10GbE RJ45 ports and six 2.5 Gigabit ports for connecting various devices and enabling hybrid high-speed networks. With SFP+ interfaces, Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables can be used for connecting directly to SFP+ devices. You can also use RJ45 ports to connect 10GBASE-T/NBASE-T™ devices through RJ45 Category 6a (or better) cabling. The switching capacity of the QSW-M2106PR-2S2T is 110Gbps, guaranteeing the full potential of each port.

Note 1: 10GbE SFP+ ports are backward compatible with 1GbE SFP; the 10GbE RJ45 (copper) ports support up to five speeds (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 100M).
Note 2: If the distance between the switch and the device is less than 45 meters (148 feet), a Cat 6 cable can be used to achieve 10Gb/s speeds.
Dependable performance with effective heat dissipation
With a compact metal body, the QSW-M2106PR-2S2T provides stable and reliable operations while staying near-silent even when under full load. The front-panel LEDs also assist in viewing the current system status.
