The MikroTik CRS328-24P-4S+RM is a versatile managed switch designed to handle both Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking tasks. It provides twenty-four Gigabit Ethernet ports capable of delivering power via PoE, supporting various standards including 802.3af/at (PoE+) with auto-sensing to ensure your connected devices receive the correct voltage automatically. For high-speed uplinks or connecting servers, you can utilize the four 10 Gbps SFP+ ports, which significantly reduce bottlenecks in data-heavy environments. Powering this system is a built-in 500 W power supply that supports a total PoE budget of 450 W, allowing up to 30 W per port. The hardware is housed in a white 1U rackmount chassis measuring 443 x 300 x 44 mm, making it easy to integrate into standard server cabinets or place on a desktop. To give you complete control over your network management, the device features a dual-boot system that lets you choose between RouterOS and SwOS depending on whether you need advanced routing or simple switching. This switch is well-suited for administrators managing IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones across an office. It includes helpful monitoring tools for CPU temperature and voltage, along with a dedicated RJ45 console port for direct configuration. Because it can operate in temperatures ranging from -20 °C to 60 °C, it remains reliable even in less controlled environment settings.
