The MikroTik CSS326-24G-2S+RM is a cloud smart switch designed to provide high-speed connectivity for network infrastructures. It features 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10Gb SFP+ ports, which are compatible with both 1.25 Gb SFP and 10 Gb SFP+ modules, allowing you to link your switch to other devices via high-speed fiber optics. Powered by the SwOS operating system and a Marvell DX switch chip, this device handles traffic at wire speed to ensure smooth data flow across your network. This switch offers a variety of management tools to help you organize your traffic, including VLAN configuration, port-to-port forwarding, and MAC filtering. You can also use traffic mirroring and bandwidth limitation to monitor and control how data moves through the system, while Access Control Lists provide an extra layer of security. The hardware is housed in a white 1U rackmount case measuring 443 x 144 x 44 mm, making it easy to integrate into standard server racks. Built to be resilient, it operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -20 °C to 70 °C, which is useful for environments where climate control might vary.
