QNAP SP-EAR-QSW2FOR1-01 2-for-1 Half-Rack Rackmount Kit
Overview
The SP-EAR-QSW2FOR1-01 is a rackmount bracket kit that allows two half-rack QNAP switches to share a single standard 1U rack space. If you're deploying multiple QSW-M2108R-2C units in a structured rack, this kit eliminates the need to dedicate a full 1U slot to each device — cutting rack unit consumption in half and keeping your cabling organized in a single horizontal run. The SP-EAR-QSW2FOR1-01 is a genuine QNAP accessory sourced direct from the manufacturer.
Compatibility
Specifically designed and tested for the QNAP QSW-M2108R-2C half-rack managed switch. This kit is not a universal half-rack adapter — do not assume compatibility with other QNAP half-rack models without verifying the QNAP network switch compatibility list, as ear geometry and mounting hole patterns vary by model. If you are deploying any other half-rack QNAP switch, confirm the part number match before ordering.
Installation Notes
This is a passive mechanical bracket — no power, no firmware, no configuration required. Install both switches into the ear brackets, then mount the combined assembly into a standard 19-inch EIA rack using the provided ears. Verify that your rack has adequate depth clearance for both switch chassis side by side before installation. No tools beyond a basic screwdriver should be required for the bracket assembly itself.
