Optimize Network Performance with bandwidth and packet control
The QSW-M408-4C provides bandwidth and packet control functions (such as LACP, VLAN, QoS, and IGMP Snooping) for boosting network performance through IP grouping and bandwidth management.
| LACP | VLAN | QoS | IGMP Snooping |
|---|---|---|---|
| - Bandwidth allocation - Bandwidth expansion |
- Communication Efficiency - Flexible Segmentation |
- Traffic control - Prioritizing bandwidth |
- Status snooping - Traffic reduction |
Powerful security and system functions
The QSW-M408-4C 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| - Access controls - Security system |
- Device disclosure - Troubleshooting |
- Loop prevention - Backup path |
- Balance speed - Jam prevention |
Faster speeds using existing cables with 10GBASE-T & NBASE-T
The QSW-M408-4C is compatible with 10GbE and NBASE-T technologies to support up to five speeds (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 100M). The SFP+/RJ45 (copper) combo ports provide higher transmission speeds with existing cables. Depending on cable types and their lengths, different speeds can be achieved for faster, more efficient data transfer.
Note: To achieve 10Gb/s speeds, if the distance between the switch and the device is less than 45 meters (148 feet), a Cat 6 cable can be used.
| CAT 5e | CAT 6e | CAT 6A & CAT 7 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100M | |||
| 1G | |||
| 2.5G | |||
| 5G | |||
| 10G | (55m) |
