QNAP QGD-1602P-C3758-16G 16-Port Multi-Gig PoE 4 Compliant Managed Switch & NAS Enclosure

The QNAP QGD-1602-C3758-16G-US is a managed switch with sixteen Power over Ethernet ports, an integrated NAS enclosure, and enough processing power to host virtual machines. It brings networking, storage, and application hosting together in one chassis, which is helpful when rack space, power consumption, and cabling need to stay lean.

The front panel offers eight 2.5 GbE ports and eight 1 GbE ports. Four of the 2.5 GbE ports supply up to 90 W each, while the remaining twelve RJ45 ports deliver 30 W per port. Combined, the switch provides a 370 W PoE budget that can run Wi-Fi 6 access points, PTZ cameras, VoIP phones, and digital signage without separate power injectors.

Inside the unit, an Intel Atom C3758 processor runs at 2.2 GHz and is paired with 16 GB of DDR4 memory. These resources let you spin up to six virtual machines for tasks such as network video recording, firewall services, or a lightweight file server. Two 2.5 inch SATA drive bays work alongside dual M.2 NVMe slots, giving you a flexible mix of high-capacity disks and high-speed cache.

For upstream connectivity, the switch includes two 10 GbE SFP+ ports that tie the edge network back to your core infrastructure. A switching capacity of 96 Gb/s with 48 Gb/s nonblocking throughput keeps traffic flowing smoothly, while a web-based interface provides Layer 2 tools like VLAN, QoS, and link aggregation.

Small and medium businesses, branch offices, or retail sites that are rolling out high-power devices and need local storage will appreciate how the QGD-1602 streamlines deployment. One appliance can power cameras, store the video, and run the surveillance software, simplifying procurement and ongoing management.
