MikroTik CRS112-8G-4S-IN

Discover advanced networking with the MikroTik CRS112-8G-4S-IN, a compact yet high-performance smart switch designed for both small offices and ISPs. This solid networking device combines the capabilities of a fully functional router with those of a Layer 3 switch, offering a versatile solution for your networking needs.

Unlike traditional routers, L3 switches like this one are capable of routing IP packets, making intelligent decisions about forwarding traffic based on IP addresses. This advanced feature enhances network efficiency and reduces latency, resulting in improved overall network performance. Moreover, it facilitates network segmentation and VLAN support, which enhances security and traffic management.

The CRS112-8G-4S-IN is equipped with eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, each offering fast-wired connections for your devices. These ports operate at speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second, significantly outpacing standard 100 Mbps ports. This means faster data transfers and seamless multimedia streaming. Users benefit from smoother experiences for tasks like file transfers and video streaming.

One of the standout features of the MikroTik CRS112-8G-4S-IN is its four 1G SFP cages. These cages provide significant flexibility in choosing and changing the type of optical or copper transceiver modules based on your specific networking needs. They enable high-speed and long-distance data transmission, making the CRS112-8G-4S-IN suitable for scenarios like data center interconnects and long-distance connections between network equipment.

Under the hood, the CRS112-8G-4S-IN is powered by a robust 400 MHz CPU and boasts 128MB of RAM. This powerful combination ensures that the device can handle complex tasks and high-traffic data flows with ease. Whether you're managing advanced security protocols or handling substantial data traffic, this smart switch has the processing power and memory capacity to keep your network running smoothly.

The MikroTik CRS112-8G-4S-IN is designed with energy efficiency in mind. It consumes a maximum of just 13.5 watts, which is exceptionally low for a device of such striking characteristics. This energy-efficient design reduces operational costs and benefits your organisation.
