Product Features

High-Speed 10G Connectivity Equipped with 8 SFP+ ports, each supporting speeds up to 10 Gbps, this switch delivers an impressive total non-blocking throughput of 81 Gbps and a switching capacity of 162 Gbps. Perfect for high-bandwidth applications like server interconnects, virtualization, or data transfer. Dual Boot Operating Systems The CRS309 offers a choice between MikroTik’s powerful RouterOS for advanced Layer 3 features or SwOS for simplified Layer 2 switch management. Users can switch operating systems easily through RouterBOOT, RouterOS, or SwOS interfaces. Silent Fanless Cooling With passive heat dissipation and a high-quality metal housing that also functions as a heatsink, this switch operates completely silently—ideal for use in sound-sensitive environments like studios or offices. Powerful Hardware Performance Driven by a dual-core 800 MHz CPU and 512 MB of RAM, the CRS309 ensures consistent and responsive operation, even under demanding network loads. Flexible Power and Management Supports PoE input (802.3af/at), traditional DC jack power, and grounding for safety. Includes a management Ethernet port and RS232 serial port for versatile administrative access and setup options. Rackmount Compatibility The package includes rackmount ears, allowing for easy integration into existing rack environments.
