With competitive pricing, space-saving features and MC-LAG switch redundancy ensuring continuous network, the QSW-M7308R-4X enables businesses to quickly upgrade to an ultra-high-speed backbone network infrastructure for building secure and reliable high-speed network transmission and storage solutions. The QSW-M7308R-4X is made in Taiwan (MIT), providing a high-quality and reliable networking solution.
QSW-M7308R-4X now comes with QSS Pro offering L3 Lite management. Models shipped with QSS can be updated to use QSS Pro.
Includes four 100GbE QSFP28 and eight 25GbE SFP28 fiber ports to offer a backbone switching capacity of 1200Gbps for uplinking server rooms.
Provides IP settings (IPv4, IPv6, DNS), static routing, DHCP server, SNTP and advanced VLAN settings to deploy and manage high-performance and secure enterprise network infrastructure.
Adopts MC-LAG, (Multi-chassis link aggregation group) to offer High Availability and redundancy to guarantee uninterrupted network switching.
One of the few compact 100GbE switches on market, the QSW-M7308R-4X, can be installed in a 1U rack space with another half-width rackmount switch for efficient physical space utilization.
Supports FEC (Forward Error Correction) and IEEE-802.3ap Auto-Negotiation for high compatibility to connect to QNAP 25GbE NAS or NAS installing 100G network cards for high-performance, low-latency computing.
The user-friendly QNAP Switch System (QSS) Pro centralizes and simplifies central network management with an overview dashboard, port management, and settings guide.
According to market research, the demand for 100GbE switches has taken off in 2023. Enterprises, hyperscalers, and service providers worldwide continue to invest in higher-speed network infrastructure to support higher-speed servers and higher bandwidth demands of new applications such as Generative AI workloads.

With the prevailing 10GbE and 25GbE networks, explosive growth of big data transmission and high-density workloads is driving demands for ultra-high-speed 100GbE networks. The QSW-M7308R-4X 100GbE switch assists enterprises in deploying 100GbE networks in the existing network infrastructure with cost-effectiveness, resolving performance bottlenecks.
The QSW-M7308R-4X has four 100GbE QSFP28 and eight 25GbE SFP28 fiber ports and offers a backbone switching capacity of 1200Gbps, guaranteeing the full potential of each port. The QSW-M7308R-4X can uplink to 100G servers and NAS in server rooms or connect to 25GbE switch QSW-M5216-1T.
With a half-width rackmount design, a QSW-M7308R-4X can be installed in a 1U rack space with another half-width rackmount switch (such as QSW-M7308R-4X and QSW-M3216R-8S8T) for efficient physical space utilization and tidy cabling.
The optional SP-EAR-QSW2FOR1-01 rackmount kit is required if two half-width rackmount switches are installed.
The QSW-M7308R-4X has four 100GbE QSFP28 and eight 25GbE SFP28 fiber ports for enabling hybrid high-speed networks. Its 25GbE SFP28 interfaces are backward compatible with 10GbE SFP+/1GbE SFP interfaces, and the 100GbE QSFP28 interface can be uplinked to 100GbE+ core switches, or connected to 100GbE+ servers/NAS directly.*
