MikroTik CRS310-8G+2S+IN
The MikroTik CRS310-8G+2S+IN is a compact, high-performance Layer 3 switch built to meet the growing demand for 2.5G and 10G networking in modern workspaces. Featuring eight 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10G SFP+ ports (with support for 1G, 2.5G, and 10G), this switch delivers exceptional flexibility and speed—ideal for small offices, edge networks, and power users looking to upgrade from standard Gigabit setups.
Powered by the Marvell 98DX226S switch chip and a dual-core ARM CPU, the CRS310 supports the full capabilities of RouterOS v7, including VLANs, Jumbo frames, ACL rules, link aggregation, and hardware offloaded Layer-3 routing. Whether used as a 10-port 2.5G switch or with mixed speed connections, it delivers the performance and scalability required to stay ahead of the curve.
The unit also comes with versatile mounting options, including standard 19" rackmount ears and compatibility with the optional RMK-2/10 accessory for 10” racks or dual-device 1U mounting.
