Half-width design, 2 models in 1U
With a half-width rackmount design, a QSW-M3216R-8S8T can be installed in a 1U rack space with another half-width rackmount switch (such as QSW-3216R-8S8T) for efficient physical space utilization and tidy cabling.
Note: The optional SP-EAR-QSW2FOR1-01 rackmount kit is required if two half-width rackmount switches are installed.
Flexible deployment with sixteen 10GbE SFP+ and RJ45 ports
The QSW-M3216R-8S8T provides eight 10GbE SFP+ ports and eight 10GbE RJ45 ports for connecting various devices and enabling 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 6 (or better) cabling.
Note: 10GbE SFP+ ports are backward compatible with 1GbE SFP; the 10GbE RJ45 ports support up to five speeds (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M).
Dependable performance with effective heat dissipation
With a compact metal body that optimizes cooling performance, the QSW-M3216R-8S8T provides stable and reliable operations even when under full load. The front-panel LEDs also assist in viewing the current system status.
QSS: Human-centered settings guide
The QSW-M3216R-8S8T uses the QNAP Switch System (QSS), featuring an easy-to-use Web GUI with Layer 2 management and value-added functions to simplify network set up and management.

Optimize Network Performance with bandwidth and packet control
The QSW-M3216R-8S8T provides bandwidth and packet control functions (such as LACP, VLAN, QoS, and IGMP Snooping) to boost network performance through IP grouping and bandwidth management.
| LACP |
VLAN |
QoS |
IGMP Snooping |
| Link Aggregation (LAG) combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and protect against connection failure. |
Virtual Networks (VLAN) allows groups of devices from different networks to be combined into a single network. |
QoS (Quality of Service) helps prioritize bandwidth usage to optimize network resource allocation. |
IGMP snooping assists in minimizing bandwidth loss and preventing network information leakage. |
Powerful security and system functions
The QSW-M3216R-8S8T has powerful security and system functions (including ACL, LLDP, RSTP and Flow Control) to help administrators enhance network reliability using access controls, troubleshooting, loop prevention and avoiding packet loss.
| ACL |
LLDP |
RSTP |
Flow Control |
| Filters packets based on rules to offer firewall-like security protection. |
Allows devices to advertise device information to directly-connected peers/neighbors to simplify troubleshooting processes. |
Ensures loop-free topology for Ethernet networks by blocking or forwarding traffic. |
Balances traffic between a sender and a receiver to avoid network congestion. |
