CRS317-1G-16S+RM Mikrotik Smart Switch 1 x Gigabit LAN 16 x SFP+ Ports

Product Overview

The MikroTik CRS317-1G-16S+RM is an enterprise-class rackmountable 16-port 10GbE SFP+ Smart Switch engineered for high-density fiber aggregation, data center backbones, core ISP routing, and server storage interconnects. Powered by a Marvell 98DX8216 800 MHz dual-core ARM CPU, 1GB RAM, and a hardware wire-speed switching matrix, it delivers non-blocking Layer 2 forwarding and Layer 3 hardware routing. Outfitted with dual redundant AC power supplies, fanless passive cooling with backup thermal fans, 16 SFP+ cages, and a single Gigabit Ethernet management port, the MikroTik CRS317-1G-16S+RM provides reliable high-bandwidth switching for demanding digital setups.

MikroTik CRS317-1G-16S+RM Product Features

• MikroTik CRS317-1G-16S+RM features sixteen 10G SFP+ cages that support both 10 Gbps SFP+ optical/copper transceivers and standard 1.25 Gbps SFP modules.

• MikroTik CRS317-1G-16S+RM incorporates a Dual Boot operating feature, allowing system administrators to choose between lightweight SwitchOS for simple L2 configuration or full RouterOS Level 6 for advanced L3 routing and MPLS capabilities.
