Flexible Network Management
MikroTik CRS switches are designed for networks that require more control than a basic unmanaged switch can provide. Supported models offer configurable switching and routing capabilities, allowing network administrators to tailor the device to their network requirements.
Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity
Depending on the model, the Cloud Switch range includes Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for connecting computers, servers, access points, IP cameras, printers, routers and other network devices.
Some models also provide SFP or SFP+ interfaces for fiber or high-speed network connections. For example, MikroTik’s CRS112-8G-4S-IN provides eight Gigabit Ethernet ports and four SFP ports.
SFP & SFP+ Connectivity
Selected Cloud Switch models include SFP or SFP+ cages, allowing compatible fiber-optic or high-speed network modules to be used.
This makes applicable CRS models suitable for network deployments requiring connections beyond standard copper Ethernet.
RouterOS-Powered Networking
A major advantage of applicable CRS models is the integration of MikroTik RouterOS, providing extensive networking configuration capabilities.
Depending on the model, features can include VLAN configuration, traffic management, routing, access-control rules, link aggregation and other advanced networking functions.
Suitable for Different Network Environments
The MikroTik Cloud Switch family can be used in a variety of environments, including:
Corporate offices
Small and medium-sized businesses
Schools
Hotels
