12-Port 10G Switch with Dual Power Supply (CRS312-4C+8XG-RM)

Der MikroTik CRS312-4C+8XG-RM ist ein richtig solides Arbeitstier. 8× 10GBase-T und 4× Combo-Ports bieten viel Flexibilität, gerade wenn Kupfer und SFP+ gemischt werden sollen. Verarbeitung ist top, Lüfter laufen leise und das Gerät passt sauber ins Rack. RouterOS bzw. SwitchOS bieten extrem viele Möglichkeiten. L3-Features, VLANs, LACP, Routing – alles da. Man sollte aber wissen, was man tut. Kein Plug-and-Play wie bei Consumer-Switches, sondern klar auf Admins und Homelab-Nutzer ausgelegt. Performance ist stabil, auch unter Dauerlast. Für Virtualisierung, Server, NAS oder Backbone im Heimnetz absolut geeignet. Pluspunkte: 10G auf Kupfer ohne Gefrickel Sehr flexibel konfigurierbar Gute Performance, stabile Firmware Preislich fair für die gebotene Leistung Minuspunkte: Einarbeitung nötig Webinterface nicht jedermanns Sache Fazit: Wer einen leistungsstarken 10G-Switch sucht und sich mit MikroTik auskennt (oder es lernen will), macht hier nichts falsch. Klare Empfehlung für Homelab und kleine bis mittlere Profi-Setups.

I really needed a 8 ports 10gbe Switch, was looking at Netgear: easy set-up but too many quality trouble for the high pricing... Then I looked at Mikrotik, many ports , great reviews , but can I set it up? I went for Mikrotik and I don't regret. I am in Japan... My questions before purchase were answered instantly. The order was shipped from Latvia the day I ordered it and by Fedex!!! (shipping was only 40$). It arrived in no time, set-up by a real pro (Chris)that I founded on Fiverr, and finally a great switch at my office. Finally,the noise question: before setup I plugged it with my 10gbe NAS and 10gbe MacMini. Noise was very loud. After setup (and a firmware upgrade) the switch became very quiet.

Switch 10GbE de 8p de cobre+4 puertos combo cobre/sfp+. Todos los puertos de cobre soportan auto negociación 10G/5G/2.5G/1Gbps. Cuenta con 4 ventiladores lo que no lo hace apto para entornos domésticos donde el ruido puede ser un problema. Arranque dual ROS/SwOS, soporta todas las características avanzadas de un switch gestionable, VLAN, RSTP, access list, etc… Producto sólido y con un rendimiento increíble.

Was looking to make the jump to 10GB with my home network. Wanted to stay with Ethernet since my cabling is all Cat 6 and above. This worked perfectly. The password for the device is on a piece of paper, setup, on the inside of the packaging. Once in, upgrade and modify. I switched it SWOS as it's all I need for it to do. It connected at 2.5GB and 10GB with no issues. Both the Router and Switch OS are not hard to figure out. I used with some Cat8 cable and my intra network speed between my main machines is outstanding. The only concern I had was noise I had read about in researching the switch. It is loud for a home environment, but normal to quiet for a dedicated server environment. I swapped out the 4 fans for Noctua fans and it's basically completely quiet and I can place it anywhere. It becomes good for home use since it's not so loud anymore. Overall a very easy and less expensive 10GBe upgrade. For the future if I decide to go Fiber, I can always use the 4 shared SPF+ ports for 10GB. For the price a great upgrade and easy way to switch to 10GBe for home use.

I bought this switch as I needed 10Gbps throughput for doing vMotion for my VMs. This switch not only provides the advertised 10Gbps speeds but also a ton of features which I probably will never use. Probably an overkill if you ask me, but this product is priced far more affordable than other 10Gbps switch offerings.
