Mikrotik CRS418-8P-8G-2S+RM switch

EU PlugMikroTik CRS418-8P-8G-2S+RM:The Ultimate All-in-One PoE Switch for Demanding Networks Elevate your network infrastructure with the MikroTik Cloud Router Switch CRS418-8P-8G-2S+RM, a highly versatile and powerful solution designed for maximum performance, flexibility, and reliability.

This feature-rich device is engineered to be the central hub of any modern small-to-medium business, WISP tower, or advanced home lab, combining extensive connectivity options with robust power delivery and enterprise-grade features in a single 1U rackmount unit.

At its core, the CRS418 is a powerhouse of connectivity.

It offers a total of 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing ample connections for all your network devices.

What sets it apart is its intelligent Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability.

Eight of these Gigabit ports feature 802.3af/at PoE-out, allowing you to power and connect devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and high-performance wireless access points directly from the switch.

With a substantial total PoE budget of 140W (at <30V) and the ability to deliver up to 30W per port, you can streamline your installations, reduce cable clutter, and deploy powered devices in locations without nearby electrical outlets.

The switch automatically detects the required power, ensuring safe and efficient operation for all your connected equipment.

To handle high-traffic backhauls and eliminate network bottlenecks, the CRS418 is equipped with two 10G SFP+ ports.

These high-speed uplinks are perfect for connecting to a core network switch, a high-performance server, or a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device, ensuring that your data flows at lightning speed without congestion.

The non-blocking throughput of 56 Gbps and a switching capacity of 112 Gbps guarantee that the switch can handle heavy loads from all ports simultaneously without compromising performance.

One of the most significant advantages of the CRS418 is the legendary MikroTik dual-boot functionality.

You have the choice between two operating systems to best suit your needs.

For straightforward, high-performance Layer 2 switching, you can boot into SwOS, a simplified and secure operating system managed through your web browser.

SwOS provides all the essential features of a managed switch, such as port-to-port forwarding, MAC filtering, VLAN configuration, and bandwidth limitation.

For ultimate control and advanced functionality, you can boot into RouterOS (License Level 5).

This transforms the switch into a fully-featured Layer 3 router, unlocking a world of possibilities including dynamic routing, a robust firewall, VPN services, advanced Quality of Service (QoS), and much more.

This flexibility ensures the CRS418 can adapt and grow with your network´s evolving demands.

Built for mission-critical environments, the CRS418-8P-8G-2S+RM prioritizes uptime and reliability.

It features two hot-swappable, redundant power supply units (PSUs).

If one power supply fails, the other seamlessly takes over, ensuring your network remains online without any interruption.

This enterprise-level feature provides peace of mind and is essential for any business that cannot afford downtime.

The professional 1U rackmount enclosure allows for clean and secure installation in standard server racks, while the integrated smart fans provide efficient and quiet cooling.
