QNAP QSW-308-1C 8-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch with SFP+

The QNAP QSW-308-1C-US is a network switch designed for users who want faster wired connections without the complexity of managed equipment. It arrives ready to work straight out of the box, giving small offices, creative studios, and home labs a simple way to mix everyday Gigabit devices with newer gear that can run at up to 10 Gbps.

The switch offers eight Gigabit Ethernet ports that handle desktops, printers, access points, and smart home hubs. Two SFP+ fiber ports provide 10 Gbps uplinks to servers, network-attached storage, or an existing backbone. A third 10 Gbps port functions as a combo interface, so you can choose either an SFP+ module or a standard RJ45 cable on the same connector. This flexible layout makes it easy to use copper cabling when it is convenient and fiber when distance or electromagnetic interference calls for it.

Inside, the unit delivers a 76 Gb/s switching capacity and 38 Gb/s non-blocking throughput, so large file transfers, backups, and simultaneous streams do not bottleneck each other. Support for five Ethernet speeds (10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 100M) lets each port negotiate the fastest rate the attached device can handle, protecting your investment as you upgrade hardware over time.

Installation is truly plug and play. The switch automatically detects speed and duplex settings, manages jumbo frames up to 10,000 bytes, and maintains a 16K MAC address table for busy environments. A ventilated, fanless chassis keeps operation silent—ideal for conference rooms, editing suites, or living areas where noise is not welcome.

Typical scenarios include linking a 10 Gbps-capable NAS to multiple workstations for 4K video editing, adding a quiet distribution switch to a rack-mount router, or simply future-proofing a smart home that is starting to outgrow standard Gigabit speeds. Wherever you need dependable wired bandwidth without additional configuration, the QSW-308-1C-US fits naturally.
