QSW-L3208-2C6T

10GbE meets “Lite Managed” for seamless high-speed video editing, backups, and surveillance.

Smarter Network Management Without Doubling the Budget

Want to avoid networking headaches without complex setups? Lite Managed switches offer the best of both worlds—more control than unmanaged switches and simpler operation than full Layer 2 managed models. Ideal for SMBs, studios, and advanced home users, Lite Managed switches balance practical features, easy configuration, and affordable pricing for optimized high-speed networking.

Switch Type	Key Features	Management Benefits	Recommended Use Cases
Lite Managed	LACP, VLAN, QoS, Port Mirroring	Easy traffic control, bandwidth segmentation	SMBs, retail, basic multi-device segments
L2 Managed	ACL, SNMP, RSTP	Advanced security and diagnostics	Virtualization, storage networks, campus backbones
Unmanaged	EEE, Flow Control, Loop Protection	Plug-and-play, no maintenance	Homes, small offices, quick meeting room setups

8-Port 10GbE Flexibility with RJ45 & SFP+

The QSW-L3208-2C6T has six 10GbE RJ45 ports and two SFP+/RJ45 combo ports, allowing flexible fiber (SFP+) and copper (RJ45) connections to a single switch. This enables smooth file transfers and multimedia streaming and sharing. When using RJ45 ports, Cat 6 or higher cables are recommended to support up to 10GbE, ensuring more efficient data transmission. The 10GbE SFP+ ports are backward compatible with 1GbE SFP modules, while the 10GbE RJ45 ports support 10G/5G/2.5G/1G networks.

Optimize Network Efficiency with Bandwidth & Packet Controls

The QSW-L3208-2C6T offers practical bandwidth and packet management features that allow efficient bandwidth allocation and network packet grouping, significantly improving overall network performance.

• LACP

  LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) combines multiple network connections into a single high-speed link, increasing total bandwidth and enabling faster performance.

• VLAN

  VLAN (Virtual LAN) allows flexible segmentation of departmental networks, enabling more efficient and organized traffic management.

• QoS

  QoS (Quality of Service) manages traffic flow and allocates bandwidth priority to ensure performance-critical applications receive sufficient resources.

• IGMP Snooping

  IGMP Snooping manages multicast streams accurately to prevent packet loss or duplication, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted audio/video streaming.

• Port Mirroring

  Port Mirroring duplicates traffic from one port to another for monitoring and troubleshooting purposes.

• Flow Control

  Flow Control balances data transmission between fast-sending and slower-receiving devices, helping maintain smooth and stable network performance.

Loop Detection & Prevention

If the QSW-L3208-2C6T detects a network loop, it automatically locks the looped ports to ensure the network environment quickly resumes normal operation. Network loops may also occur within a region, and the QSW-L3208-2C6T can detect and handle such situations as well.
