Description

Mikrotik CRS112-8G-4S-IN 8 port Gigabit Cloud Router Switch 112-8G-4S-IN 4xSFP

The Cloud Router Switch 112-8G-4S-IN (CRS), consequently, stands as a “small size low cost” member in the MikroTik CRS series, thereby offering a powerful hybrid solution specifically for smaller networks. To begin with, it features eight Gigabit Ethernet ports and four SFP cages for 1 Gbps fiber uplinks; as a result, you can easily build flexible copper and fiber networks.

Furthermore, this device runs the familiar RouterOS (Level 5 license), which means it seamlessly combines the best features of a fully functional router and a Layer 3 switch. Although a special Switch menu handles all specific switch configurations, nonetheless, you maintain the flexibility to remove ports from the switch group and, alternatively, use them for dedicated Layer 3 routing purposes.

In terms of hardware, the CRS112-8G-4S-IN features a 400 MHz single-core CPU and 128 MB of RAM. Moreover, its desktop-sized, passively cooled (fanless) chassis supports flexible powering either via a DC jack or Passive PoE-in on the first Ethernet port. Consequently, this versatile device is ideal for small to medium-sized offices or enterprises since they need a managed switch with robust routing capabilities.
