The netFiber 9 from MikroTik known by its manufacture part number CRS310-1G-5S-4S+OUT, is a robust outdoor switch designed to facilitate high-capacity fiber and ethernet connectivity in diverse operational environments. It features a powerful ARM v7 CPU, with a single core operating at a nominal frequency of 800 MHz and 256 MB of RAM, that utilizes an advanced Marvell 98DX226S chip capable of handling heavy network loads efficiently. Whether deployed in an industrial setting, data center, or complex enterprise network, the netFiber 9 from MikroTik delivers exceptional performance, reliability, and scalability.
Comprehensive Connectivity
This switch boasts a diverse range of ports, including four 10G SFP+ ports for ultra-fast fiber optic connections and five SFP ports for standard fiber connectivity. Additionally, it includes a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port which is directly connected to the switch chip, enabling full gigabit speeds not only for networking but also for management purposes. This port supports PoE-in, offering flexibility in power sources, particularly in challenging installation locations. Designed with efficiency in mind, the netFiber 9 consumes a maximum of 16.3 W, with power consumption dropping to just 10 W without attachments. It supports both 802.3af/at PoE in and can operate with a DC input voltage range from 18-57 V, offering versatile powering options including PoE-IN and DC jack.
With its array of SFP, SFP+, and Gigabit Ethernet ports, the netFiber 9 is capable of delivering 10 Gbps networking speeds, essential for modern high-demand applications. This makes the switch an ideal choice for scenarios requiring extended connections over 100 meters, where maintaining low data loss and ping is crucial. Optic fiber can be a great alternative to copper if you are worried about electromagnetic interference or maybe even tampering and eavesdropping
Designed for Outdoor Use
netFiber 9 excels in outdoor settings. The sturdy, IP54-rated case provides protection against dust and water splashes, making it suitable for areas with light coverage, such as under a roof overhang or within a protective cabinet. The unit features a large heatsink on the back that not only ensures excellent heat dissipation but also stabilizes the unit by shifting the center of mass towards the mounting options, ensuring a secure and durable installation. Furthermore, the design of the netFiber 9 includes thoughtful additions to aid in cable management and installation. Handy features on the bottom of the case help keep connections organized and tidy. The package comes with metal hose clamps and screws for immediate mounting to poles, walls, or masts, facilitating quick and secure deployment.
The netFiber 9 boasts an impressive Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of approximately 200,000 hours at 25C, underscoring its reliability and long-term performance. Tested for operation in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 70°C, the netFiber 9 guarantees reliability and performance in extreme conditions. Its passive cooling system, that was mentioned before, ensures the device operates silently and efficiently.
Cost-Efficient and Easy to Manage
This device runs on MikroTik’s RouterOS v7 / SwitchOS, providing a flexible and user-friendly interface for network management with a RouterOS license level 5. Despite its advanced features and durable construction, the netFiber 9 remains an affordable solution that simplifies network management. Its capabilities ensure that it can handle the needs of complex network environments, making it a valuable asset for any IT infrastructure. In addition, the model equipped with a CPU temperature monitor and voltage monitor, this switch provides real-time insights into its operational status, helping prevent potential issues before they impact network performance.
