The MikroTik CRS310-1G-5S-4S+IN is a powerful Cloud Router Switch designed for network professionals who need a high-speed, managed device for fiber optic networks. It offers a mix of port types to provide flexible connectivity options.

Key Features and Specifications

• Ports: It has a total of 10 ports:

  • 1 Gigabit Ethernet port for management or a standard copper connection.

  • 5 x 1.25G SFP cages for standard fiber links.

  • 4 x 10G SFP+ cages for high-speed fiber or DAC uplinks to the core network or servers.

• Dual Boot: Like other MikroTik CRS series switches, it supports dual boot. This allows you to run either RouterOS for full Layer 3 functionality (routing, firewall) or the simplified SwOS (SwitchOS) for pure Layer 2 switching. This provides immense flexibility depending on your network's needs.

• Performance: The switch is designed for high-speed traffic. It has a non-blocking throughput of 45 Gbps and a switching capacity of 90 Gbps, ensuring that it can handle a high volume of data without bottlenecks.

• Powering: It has two DC power jacks for redundant power, a crucial feature for mission-critical deployments. It can also be powered by PoE-in on the Gigabit Ethernet port.

• Processor: The device is powered by a 800 MHz CPU with 256 MB of RAM.

• Design: The CRS310-1G-5S-4S+IN has a 1U rackmount form factor and features a passive cooling system, which means it is completely silent.
