Mikrotik CRS312-4C+8XG-RM network switch L3 10G Ethernet (100/1000/10000) 1U White

for the price would not turn back. easy to setup and can use out of the box as l2 switch. would suggest replacing the fans (will kill the warranty but will save your ears)

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.
