MikroTik (CRS326-24G-2S+RM) 24 Gigabit Port Switch with 2 x SFP+ Cages

Product Overview

The MikroTik CRS326-24G-2S+RM Switch is an enterprise-grade 26-port wire-speed Layer 2 and Layer 3 smart managed network switch. Engineered for high-density office access networks, server racks, network distribution hubs, and WISP core installations, it is powered by an ARM 32-bit Marvell 98DX3236 switch chip running at 800 MHz with 512MB RAM and 16MB flash storage. Housed in a silent, fanless 1U rackmount aluminum enclosure, the MikroTik CRS326-24G-2S+RM Switch features 24 Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet ports and two 10G SFP+ optical cages. Equipped with MikroTik’s signature Dual Boot system, system administrators can seamlessly boot into lightweight SwOS for simplified web-based switching or full RouterOS Level 5 for advanced Layer 3 routing, VLAN management, and traffic engineering.
