The MikroTik CRS326-4C+20G+2Q+RM is a managed switch equipped with 20 ports of 2.5G Ethernet, 4 Combo ports (2.5G Ethernet or SFP+), and 2 QSFP+ slots (40 Gb/s). The device features the RouterOS system (v7) with a Level 6 license, providing the same functionality as other solutions from the Latvian manufacturer. However, it's essential to remember that this is a switch and does not have a processor comparable to routers. The housing is designed for mounting in a 19" Rack cabinet, with a height of 1U. The switch has 2 built-in AC power supplies that operate redundantly - if one fails, the other takes over. The maximum power consumption is 70W.

The offered product is an excellent choice as the primary switch in networks where you want to base the backbone on 2.5 Gb/s connections. With 20 ports, you can connect multiple network segments, and you can expand this number using Combo ports or utilize the SFP+ slots to connect critical devices. The use of QSFP+ slots with a throughput of 40 Gb/s allows for high-speed transmission to the switch.

Cloud Router Switch, Layer 3

The device features RouterOS (version 7) with a Level 6 license, providing full management access via WinBox, similar to other MikroTik devices. You can utilize VLANs, ACL lists, MLAG, and many other functionalities. It's essential to remember that the CRS326-4C+20G+2Q+RM is a switch and doesn't have the routing performance. The device's construction is based on the QCA9531 processor with a single core clocked at 650 MHz. The switching is handled by the 98DX8332 chip.

20x 2.5G Ethernet port, 4x Combo (2.5G Ethernet / SFP+) port, 2x QSFP+ port

The switch features 20 2.5G Ethernet ports, 4 Combo ports - each offering a choice between 2.5G Ethernet or SFP+ (10 Gb/s), and 2 QSFP+ ports (40 Gb/s). With these interfaces, it provides a high throughput for connections, making it suitable for various locations. It's an excellent solution for any network where you want to base the backbone on 2.5 Gb/s connections.

The variety of ports allows for flexibility to adapt to different locations. QSFP+ connections can be used to link different network segments or connect demanding devices such as servers.

Two power supplies, Rack 19" standard

The CRS326-4C+20G+2Q+RM is equipped with two power supplies that operate redundantly. In case one fails, the other one takes over. The maximum power consumption of the device is 70 W.

The enclosure is designed for mounting in a 19" rack cabinet. The package includes ears and screws for mounting. With a depth of 26 cm, the device will fit into most cabinets.
