The MikroTik RB260GS is a compact SOHO switch designed to provide reliable connectivity for small offices or home setups. It features five Gigabit Ethernet ports and a single SFP cage, allowing you to integrate fiber optic links using modules like the S-85DLC05D or S-31DLC20D to extend your network reach. The device runs on SwOS, which means you can easily manage your settings through a web browser without needing complex command-line knowledge. Inside its white plastic housing, the switch utilizes an Atheros chip to handle tasks such as VLAN configuration, MAC filtering, and traffic mirroring. You can also set bandwidth limitations or use port-to-port forwarding to better control how data flows across your local network. Measuring just 113 x 139 x 28 mm and weighing 212 g, it sits unobtrusively on a desktop and operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -20 °C to 70 °C. It is powered by an 8-28V DC supply and supports passive PoE, making it a versatile choice for those who need a manageable network hub that doesn't take up much space.
