QNAP SP-EAR-QSWHALFRACK-01 Half Rack Mount Kit

Overview

The SP-EAR-QSWHALFRACK-01 is a half-rack mounting kit designed to install compatible QNAP QSW-series switches into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Rather than occupying a full rack unit width on its own, this ear kit allows two half-width QSW switches to share a single 1U rack slot side by side — reducing wasted rack space in dense network closets, server rooms, and structured cabling installations where rack real estate is at a premium.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for QNAP's QSW-series unmanaged and web-managed switches that ship in a half-rack form factor. Verify your specific QSW model's documentation to confirm half-rack ear compatibility before ordering — not all QSW variants are half-width. This mount is not intended for full-width QNAP appliances such as NAS units, NVRs, or other rack equipment outside the QSW half-rack switch line.
