High-Performance Connectivity

This switch is built to handle modern networking challenges. The 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports provide fast, stable wired connections, while the four SFP+ cages support 10G fiber modules, giving businesses the option to expand into high-speed backbone networking. By combining copper and fiber interfaces, MikroTik allows administrators to design flexible infrastructures that adapt to their needs.

One of the standout features of the CRS328-24P-4S+RM is its PoE-out capability. Each Ethernet port can deliver power directly to compatible devices such as access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones. This eliminates the need for multiple power adapters and reduces cable clutter. In addition, the switch supports both passive and active PoE modes, making it highly versatile in different deployment scenarios.

MikroTik CCR2004-16G-2S+PC Advanced Management Features

Unlike unmanaged switches, this MikroTik model runs on the powerful RouterOS platform. Administrators can configure routing, firewall rules, VLANs, and advanced QoS with ease. For users who prefer simplicity, the device also offers SwOS, a lightweight alternative for straightforward switch configuration. Switching between the two systems ensures that both beginner and advanced users can manage the network efficiently.

The CRS328-24P-4S+RM is designed with a 1U rackmount enclosure, making it easy to integrate into existing server racks. Its cooling system and solid build guarantee stable operation, even under continuous heavy loads. Furthermore, its intuitive front-panel design ensures convenient access to ports and LEDs for monitoring status at a glance.

Ideal Use Cases

This switch is perfect for organizations that want a balance of performance, flexibility, and scalability. Whether you are powering an office network, expanding a data center, or managing a surveillance system, the CRS328-24P-4S+RM offers both the bandwidth and intelligence to handle demanding workloads.
