MikroTik CRS309-1G-8S+IN 8-Port 10G SFP+ Managed Switch Features in Kenya

Eight 10G SFP+ Ports

The CRS309-1G-8S+IN provides 8 × 10 Gigabit SFP+ interfaces for high-speed fiber and compatible direct-attach connections to servers, storage systems, workstations, switches and other bandwidth-intensive network equipment.

High-Density 10 Gigabit Connectivity

Eight SFP+ interfaces provide substantial 10 Gigabit port density within a compact enclosure, making the CRS309 suitable for network environments that require multiple high-speed connections without deploying a large rackmount switch.

81 Gbps Non-Blocking Throughput

A total non-blocking throughput of 81 Gbps enables efficient simultaneous traffic handling across the switch interfaces, providing dependable performance for demanding enterprise and professional workloads.

162 Gbps Switching Capacity

The CRS309 delivers up to 162 Gbps switching capacity, providing substantial internal bandwidth for moving large volumes of network traffic between connected 10 Gigabit devices.

High Packet Forwarding Performance

A forwarding rate of up to approximately 120.5 million packets per second provides efficient packet processing for high-speed network traffic and data-intensive applications.

Dedicated Gigabit Ethernet Port

A 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 interface provides convenient copper connectivity for network management and other supported functions without consuming one of the eight primary SFP+ interfaces.

RouterOS and SwOS Dual Boot

The CRS309 supports both MikroTik RouterOS and SwOS. RouterOS provides extensive routing, switching and network management functionality, while SwOS provides a simplified operating environment focused specifically on managed switching.

Layer 3 Hardware Offloading

The Marvell switching platform supports Layer 3 hardware offloading for supported RouterOS configurations, enabling compatible routing operations to be processed directly by switching hardware for improved performance.

VLAN Network Segmentation

VLAN functionality allows administrators to logically separate servers, storage systems, workstations, management traffic and other network resources while maintaining shared physical switching infrastructure.

Link Aggregation Support

Link aggregation capabilities allow compatible interfaces to be combined into logical connections, providing additional options for increased aggregate bandwidth, traffic distribution and network redundancy.

Powerful Hardware Platform

The CRS309 is powered by the Marvell 98DX8208 platform with an 800 MHz dual-core CPU and 512 MB RAM, providing the hardware resources required for reliable managed switching and RouterOS operation.

Flexible Powering Options

The switch supports both 12–57V DC input and IEEE 802.3af/at PoE-in, giving installers flexibility when integrating the CRS309 into different network power environments.

Power Redundancy

Multiple power input options can provide additional resilience when suitable independent power sources are used, helping maintain operation in professional network environments where improved availability is required.

Energy-Efficient Operation

Maximum power consumption of approximately 23W provides efficient operation despite the switch offering eight high-speed 10 Gigabit interfaces and advanced managed networking capabilities.

Silent Fanless Cooling

The CRS309 uses passive cooling with no mechanical fans. Its metal enclosure assists with heat dissipation while providing completely silent operation for offices, studios, laboratories and other noise-sensitive environments.

Compact and Rackmount-Compatible Design

Measuring approximately 228 × 140 × 44 mm, the CRS309 provides enterprise-grade connectivity in a compact enclosure. Rackmount ears are included for integration into suitable rack installations when required.

Wide Operating Temperature Range

The switch has been tested for operation between -40°C and 70°C, providing flexibility for deployment across a wide range of appropriately protected network environments.
