## Long description

The QNAP QSW-1108-8T Unmanaged Switch is an 8-port 2.5GbE network switch that upgrades existing Gigabit networks to multi-gigabit speeds using current Cat 5e cabling. This fanless, plug-and-play switch supports auto-negotiation (2.5G/1G/100M), provides loop detection and automatic port blocking, and has a switching capacity of 40 Gbit/s. The QSW-1108-8T is designed for simple, cost-effective speed improvements in home and small office environments without requiring complex setup.
Advantages
The QSW-1108-8T delivers up to 2.5x the speed of standard Gigabit switches while remaining an unmanaged, budget-friendly solution that uses existing Cat 5e cables. Its fanless design ensures near-silent operation and the ventilated chassis helps dissipate heat without active cooling. Built-in auto-negotiation optimizes link speeds per device, and network loop detection with automatic port locking helps maintain network stability.
Suitable for
Upgrading home networks for faster file transfers and media streaming
Connecting 2.5GbE-capable NAS devices and workstations in small offices
Creating a simple, high-bandwidth LAN for creative workstations or backup tasks
Environments where existing Cat 5e cabling must be retained

How to use
Install the QSW-1108-8T by placing it on a stable surface and connecting the included DC 12 V power adapter. Connect your NAS, computers, or other Ethernet devices to the 2.5GbE RJ-45 ports using existing Cat 5e (or better) cables. The switch is plug-and-play: it will automatically negotiate the optimal link speed for each connected device. No additional configuration is required for basic operation.
Usage recommendations
For best multi-gigabit performance, use quality Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables and ensure connected devices support 2.5GbE. Place the fanless switch in a well-ventilated area to assist passive cooling. If a network loop is detected, the device will lock the affected ports automatically; check cabling and port connections before restoring links.
