A five-port 10GbE switch that’s affordable, fanless, and plug-and-play—easily upgraded to 10GbE networking with the QSW-3205-5T.

QNAP has introduced the QSW-3205-5T, a five-port 10GbE unmanaged switch that provides an affordable and hassle-free way to upgrade to high-speed networking. Ideal for small offices, creative professionals, and home users, it supports multiple speeds (10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 100M) and features plug-and-play functionality, eliminating the need for complex setup. With its compact, fanless design, the QSW-3205-5T operates silently, making it a practical choice for workspaces where noise levels matter, such as offices and studios.

QNAP says that QSW-3205-5T eliminates the complexity of transitioning to 10GbE networking by allowing users to leverage existing Cat 6 cables while benefiting from high-speed connections. The switch automatically detects and adjusts to the best transmission speed, meaning users don’t need to replace older equipment to experience faster network performance. It also integrates seamlessly with Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 routers and access points, making it a versatile upgrade option for modern home and office networks.

The QSW-3205-5T has five 10GbE RJ45 ports and a total switching capacity of 100Gbps. It supports Auto-Negotiation, which automatically detects and optimizes the connection speed based on connected devices. It includes Jumbo Frames (12KB) for improved large file transfers and IEEE 802.3x Flow Control to prevent data loss during congestion and enhance efficiency. The 16K MAC Address Table ensures seamless communication between multiple devices, making the switch ideal for users handling high-resolution video editing, large file transfers, or multimedia workflows.
