Half-width design, two models in 1U
With a half-width rackmount design, a QSW-3216R-8S8T can be installed in a 1U rack space with another half-width rackmount switch (such as QSW-M3216R-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-3216R-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).
Instantly build a plug-and-play high-speed network
No complex settings are required to use the QSW-3216R-8S8T - simply connect your devices with existing cables and it’s ready to use. The QSW-3216R-8S8T supports auto-negotiation that optimizes transfer speeds (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M) and performance for each connected device.
Loop detection and blocking
The QSW-3216R-8S8T features network loop detection. If a network loop is detected, the QSW-3216R-8S8T automatically locks the looped ports to ensure the network environment quickly resumes normal operation.
Dependable performance with effective heat dissipation
With a compact metal body that optimizes cooling performance, the QSW-3216R-8S8T provides stable and reliable operations even when under full load. The front-panel LEDs also assist in viewing the current system status.
