The CRS418-8P-8G-2S+5axQ2axQ-RM is a Layer 2/Layer 3 switch with L3 hardware offloading, featuring 17 Gigabit Ethernet ports including 8 PoE-out ports with a total power budget of up to 150 W, and 1 dedicated Gigabit Ethernet management port with direct CPU connection. MikroTik CRS418 includes 2× SFP+ 10G slots and built-in Wi-Fi 6 4×4 MIMO, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The device runs RouterOS v7 and is powered by a 2.2 GHz quad-core ARM CPU. The 1U rackmount chassis with redundant AC power ensures safety and reliable operation.
Product Description
The MikroTik CRS418-8P-8G-2S+5axQ2axQ-RM combines switching functionality with routing capability thanks to its powerful CPU and hardware L3 support. Equipped with 8 PoE-out ports supporting 802.3af/at and 24 V Passive, it can directly power access points, cameras, and other devices. The two 10G SFP+ uplinks provide high network throughput and server/NAS connectivity. The integrated Wi-Fi 6, 4×4 MIMO, makes it suitable for wireless deployments, and the chassis allows external antennas to be connected via prepared pigtail slots to extend Wi-Fi coverage.
