Description

Product Description

The MikroTik CRS326-24S+2Q+RM is one of MikroTik’s most powerful switching solutions, designed for high-bandwidth environments such as data centers, enterprise cores, and ISP aggregation networks.

It offers 24 × 10 Gbps SFP+ ports for high-density fiber connectivity and 2 × 40 Gbps QSFP+ ports for ultra-fast uplinks or backbone connections. This enables massive throughput and scalability for demanding workloads such as virtualization, storage networks, and high-speed interconnects.

The switch supports dual boot (RouterOS and SwOS), allowing users to choose between advanced Layer 3 routing features or a simplified high-performance Layer 2 switching environment. It also includes dual redundant power supplies and active cooling for maximum reliability in mission-critical deployments.
