MikroTik CRS106-1C-5S SFP Smart Switch Features in Kenya
Five 1.25G SFP Fiber Ports
The CRS106-1C-5S provides five 1.25 Gbps SFP cages for connecting compatible fiber transceivers, allowing businesses and network administrators to build reliable fiber links between switches, network segments and remote locations.
Flexible SFP and Gigabit Combo Port
An additional combo interface can operate as either an SFP connection or a Gigabit Ethernet interface. This provides additional deployment flexibility when integrating fiber and conventional copper Ethernet infrastructure.
Fiber-Focused Network Expansion
The high concentration of SFP interfaces makes the CRS106 particularly suitable for fiber network distribution and aggregation where several optical links need to be interconnected from a compact switching platform.
MikroTik RouterOS Management
The switch runs MikroTik RouterOS, providing administrators with extensive configuration and network management capabilities beyond those typically available from basic unmanaged fiber switches.
RouterOS Level 5 License
An included RouterOS Level 5 license provides access to extensive MikroTik networking functionality for professional switching and network management applications.
VLAN Support
VLAN functionality allows administrators to logically separate network traffic, helping organize users, departments and network services while maintaining shared physical switching infrastructure.
Port Mirroring
Port mirroring allows selected network traffic to be copied to another interface for diagnostics, monitoring and troubleshooting with compatible network analysis equipment.
Advanced Traffic Management
RouterOS provides extensive traffic-control and management capabilities, giving network administrators greater control over how traffic is handled across connected fiber and Ethernet interfaces.
Passive PoE-in Support
The CRS106 supports Passive PoE-in with an 11–30V input range, allowing the switch to receive power through compatible Ethernet power infrastructure where a conventional power outlet may not be conveniently available.
DC Jack Power Input
An 11–30V DC jack provides a conventional alternative to Passive PoE-in, giving installers flexibility when choosing how the switch is powered at different network locations.
Low Power Consumption
Maximum power consumption of approximately 11W enables efficient continuous operation, making the CRS106 suitable for distributed network installations where energy efficiency is important.
Compact Desktop Design
Measuring approximately 114 × 137 × 29 mm, the CRS106 occupies minimal installation space and can be conveniently deployed in offices, network cabinets and other space-constrained environments.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
The switch has been tested for operation from -20°C to 70°C, providing flexibility for deployment across a wide range of properly protected network environments.
