MikroTik 12-Port 10G Switch with Dual Power Supply CRS312-4C8XG-RM

The Mikrotik CRS312-4C+8XG-RM is a layer 3 switch with routing features, making it a "cheap" solution for small enterprises or SOHO networks that need to replace the router and switch functions in one box. While its routing performance is a bit lower than a pure router, its switching performance is good for a high-speed switch. This device is geared more toward professional network engineers who know what they want and the network protocols they need. The device has 12 available physical interfaces; eight 10Gbps interfaces and four plus four combo 10Gbps interfaces, with a total max of only 12 enabled/active interfaces. The configuration can be complicated, but the device has a simple yet usable web UI and CLI that give you control over all important aspects of the configuration. The device's noise level is noticeable when the fans ramp up when passing packets, but you can swap out the existing fans for quieter ones if desired. The build is solid, and the device comes with two power supplies for redundancy. It accepts 110-240V, making it compatible with US electrical infrastructure. The CRS312-4C+8XG-RM is a great option for those who need a fast and affordable managed solution for a 10G switch.
