QNAP QGD-1602P-C3758-8G 16-Port Multi-Gig PoE 4 Compliant Managed Switch & NAS Enclosure

The QNAP QGD-1602-C3558-8G-US is a 16-port managed network switch that combines multi-gigabit PoE++ capabilities with a built-in NAS enclosure and virtualization features. It is powered by a 2.2 GHz Intel Atom C3558 quad-core processor and comes with 8GB of DDR4 RAM and 4GB of flash memory, which can be expanded up to 64GB RAM. This makes it a versatile solution for small to medium-sized businesses that need both reliable network switching and centralized storage in one device.

This switch offers sixteen ports split between eight 2.5G and eight 1G connections, all supporting Power over Ethernet with a total power budget of 200W. This setup is ideal for powering devices like IP cameras, access points, or VoIP phones without needing separate power supplies. For high-speed uplinks, it includes two 10G SFP+ slots, allowing seamless integration with fiber networks or faster backbone connections.

Storage-wise, the QGD-1602-C3558-8G-US supports two 2.5-inch SATA drives, which can be used for file sharing, backups, or hosting virtual machines. It also features dual M.2 NVMe slots for SSD caching, improving storage performance and responsiveness. The device runs on QNAP’s QTS operating system, which provides Layer 2 switching functions such as VLAN, QoS, and IGMP snooping, along with virtualization support for running VMs and containers. This makes it a practical choice for IT environments that require both network management and flexible computing resources in a single unit.

Overall, this product fits well in office networks, surveillance setups, or any environment where combining network infrastructure with storage and virtualization can simplify management and reduce hardware footprint.
