The MikroTik CRS418-8P-8G-2S+RM is a managed switch equipped with 16 1G Ethernet ports and 2 SFP+ slots (10 Gbps). Ports 9 through 16 feature PoE+ power outputs (802.3af/at or passive 24 V DC), with a maximum output power per port of 15.4 W for 802.3af or 30 W for 802.3at. The total power budget is 150 W across all ports. The device stands out with its high performance, featuring a quad-core ARM IPQ-8072 processor clocked at 2208 MHz and 1 GB of RAM. It has significantly better components than other switches in the CRS series, making it suitable for demanding applications, particularly when using Layer 3 configuration. The manufacturer has included a rack-mountable 19" enclosure with two built-in AC/DC power supplies that provide power redundancy (if one fails, the other takes over).

Layer 3 Switch

The offered product is a switch equipped with the RouterOS system and a Level 5 license. It provides advanced management features known from other MikroTik solutions. It allows full use of Layer 3 support in the same way as standard routers, without any functional limitations.

Quad-Core Processor Clocked at 2.2 GHz

The CRS418-8P-8G-2S+RM features a powerful quad-core ARM processor clocked at 2.2 GHz and 1 GB of RAM. It utilizes a significantly more efficient processor than those found in CRS320 or CRS328 switches. As a result, it can handle routing at a level comparable to a standard router, allowing you to reduce the number of network devices in use by relying on the CRS418. This product is an excellent choice for homes as well as small and medium-sized offices. In such environments, it can simultaneously function as a router, core switch, and access switch.

16 1G Ethernet Ports, 2 SFP+ Slots (10G)

The switch is equipped with 16 gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mbps) divided into two sections, along with 2 SFP+ slots (10 Gbps). The use of 10 Gbps ports allows you to handle traffic beyond 1 Gbps, and in standard scenarios, it enables an increase in local network speed and the connection of key devices such as a NAS server or an additional switch.

8 PoE+ Outputs (802.3af/at), 150 W Power Budget

The second section of 1G Ethernet ports (Ether9 - Ether16) is additionally equipped with PoE+ power output (802.3af/at). The maximum output power per port is 15.4 W when using 802.3af or 30 W with 802.3at. The device is also compatible with 24 V passive PoE, in which case the maximum output current is 1.1 A (approximately 26 W). The total power budget across all ports is 150 W.

19" Rack-Mountable Enclosure, Two Built-In Power Supplies

The device's enclosure is designed for installation in a standard 19" rack, with a depth of only 230 mm. Inside the enclosure are two independent AC/DC power supplies that can operate in a redundant configuration. In the event of a failure of one power supply, the other takes over to ensure uninterrupted operation.

Use Case

Thanks to its performance, advanced management features, numerous interfaces, and PoE outputs, the offered product is an excellent choice for building networks in homes as well as small and medium-sized offices. In such scenarios, it can simultaneously serve as a router, core switch, and access switch. It enables the connection of access points and IP cameras, while the use of SFP+ interfaces allows you to handle data packages exceeding 1 Gbps.
