Upgrade to ultra-high-speed 25GbE with ease!

While 10GbE is a solid base for high-speed network transmission, the ultra-high-speed 25GbE provides comparative cost advantages and compatibility in SMB server rooms to satisfy data computing applications.

• High-speed Storage & AI applications

  25GbE fulfills bandwidth requirements in high-speed storage, virtualization, and AI applications.

• High Compatibility

  25GbE SFP28 is backward compatible with 10GbE SFP+/1GbE SFP and can be connected to 50GbE/100GbE via Breakout DAC, easily integrating existing network infrastructure.

• Cost-effectiveness

  25GbE is 2.5 times faster than 10GbE while the cost is less than 2 times higher, suitable for upgrading backbone network.

High switching capacity of 820Gbps for backbone networks

The QSW-M5216-1T has sixteen 25GbE SFP28 fiber ports and offers backbone switching capacity of 820Gbps, guaranteeing the full potential of each port. The QSW-M5216-1T can serve as the core switch uplinking to 25G/100G Servers and NAS in server rooms or connecting to 25G/10G edge fiber switches.

Flexible deployment with multiple 25GbE and 10GbE ports

Along with sixteen 25GbE SFP28 fiber ports, the QSW-M5216-1T is has one 10GBASE-T port for enabling hybrid high-speed networks. Its 25GbE SFP28 interfaces are backward compatible with 10GbE SFP+/1GbE SFP; and 10GbE RJ45 is compatible with NBASE-T technologies to support four speeds (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G).

Optimize Network Performance with bandwidth and packet control

The QSW-M5216-1T provides bandwidth and packet control functions (such as LACP, VLAN, QoS, and IGMP Snooping) to boost network performance through IP grouping and bandwidth management.

LACP	VLAN	QoS	IGMP Snooping
Link Aggregation (LAG) combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and protect against connection failure.	Virtual Networks (VLAN) allows groups of devices from different networks to be combined into a single network.	QoS (Quality of Service) helps prioritize bandwidth usage to optimize network resource allocation.	IGMP snooping assists in minimizing bandwidth loss and preventing network information leakage.

Powerful security and system functions

The QSW-M5216-1T has powerful security and system functions (including ACL, LLDP, RSTP and Flow Control) to help enhance network reliability with access controls, troubleshooting, loop prevention and avoiding packet loss.

ACL	LLDP	RSTP	Flow Control
