Mikrotik CRS326-24G-2S+RM 24-Port Gigabit Switch 2x 10G SFP+

CRS326-24G-2S+RM Switch

The Mikrotik CRS326-24G-2S+RM functions as a high-performance Layer 2 switch with Layer 3 routing capabilities for enterprise environments. This 24-port Gigabit device provides non-blocking throughput and includes two 10Gbps SFP+ ports for high-speed fiber uplinks. It features a dual-boot option allowing users to run either RouterOS or SwitchOS depending on their specific requirements. The hardware utilizes a Marvell switch chip to process traffic at wire speed. Consequently, administrators can deploy this unit in busy network segments without experiencing latency issues. Additionally, the rackmountable chassis ensures easy integration into standard IT infrastructure.

Key Features

• Dual Boot Operating System
  Administrators can choose to boot into SwitchOS for simplified web-based configuration or RouterOS for complex routing and firewall tasks.

• High-Bandwidth Uplink Capacity
  The two SFP+ cages support 10 Gigabit modules to facilitate high-speed data transfer between core switches or storage servers.

• Hardware-Based Switching Performance
  The internal hardware supports a total non-blocking throughput of 44 Gbps and a switching capacity of 88 Gbps to prevent data congestion.

• Flexible Power Redundancy
  The device accepts power via a standard DC jack or through Passive PoE on the first Ethernet port for remote deployments.
