MikroTik CRS328-4C-20S-4S+RM 28-Port Managed Fiber Switch Features in Kenya

20 Dedicated Gigabit SFP Ports

The CRS328-4C-20S-4S+RM provides 20 × 1G SFP interfaces for high-density fiber connectivity, making it suitable for connecting remote network segments, distribution switches, servers and other fiber-enabled network equipment.

Four High-Speed 10G SFP+ Ports

Four 10 Gigabit SFP+ interfaces provide high-bandwidth connectivity for backbone links, servers, storage infrastructure and other switches, helping prevent uplink bottlenecks when aggregating traffic from multiple Gigabit connections.

Four Flexible Combo Ports

The switch includes four combo interfaces, with each logical interface offering a choice between a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 connection and an SFP interface. This provides greater flexibility when integrating copper and fiber devices within the same network infrastructure.

High-Density Fiber Aggregation

The combination of 20 dedicated SFP interfaces, four combo ports and four SFP+ interfaces makes the CRS328 particularly suitable as a fiber aggregation and distribution switch for enterprise campuses, ISPs and other networks containing numerous fiber connections.

RouterOS and SwOS Dual Boot

The CRS328 supports both MikroTik RouterOS and SwOS. RouterOS provides extensive switching, routing and network management functionality, while SwOS provides a simplified operating environment focused specifically on managed switching.

Advanced Layer 3 Networking

RouterOS provides Layer 3 networking functionality and advanced configuration capabilities, allowing administrators to implement routing, traffic management and other sophisticated network configurations alongside conventional switching.

VLAN Network Segmentation

VLAN support enables administrators to logically separate departments, customers, servers, management traffic and other network services while maintaining shared physical switching and fiber infrastructure.

Link Aggregation Support

Link aggregation enables compatible interfaces to be combined into logical connections, providing options for increased aggregate bandwidth, traffic distribution and network redundancy between compatible network devices.

Traffic Management and Control

RouterOS and SwOS provide extensive traffic management functionality, allowing network administrators to control switching behaviour, monitor interfaces and optimize traffic flows according to deployment requirements.

Powerful Dual-Core Hardware Platform

The switch incorporates a Marvell 98DX8216 dual-core processor operating at 800 MHz together with 512 MB RAM, providing the resources required for reliable managed switching and advanced RouterOS configurations.

512 MB RAM

With 512 MB of system memory, the CRS328 provides sufficient resources for RouterOS operation and sophisticated network configurations in enterprise, data center and service-provider environments.

Dual Redundant AC Power Inputs

Dual 100–240V AC power inputs provide power redundancy for critical network installations, reducing dependence on a single power source and helping improve overall infrastructure availability.

Low Power Consumption

Despite its extensive fiber connectivity and management capabilities, the CRS328 has a maximum power consumption of approximately 43W, providing efficient operation for continuously running professional networks.

Serial Console Management

An RJ45 serial console interface provides administrators with direct management access for initial configuration, troubleshooting and recovery operations when required.

Customizable Mode Button

The configurable mode button can be assigned to supported RouterOS functions and scripts, providing administrators with a convenient method of triggering predefined network management actions.

Professional 1U Rackmount Design

The 443 × 200 × 44 mm 1U rackmount enclosure integrates easily into standard network and server racks, making the CRS328 suitable for organized enterprise, data center and telecommunications installations.

Wide Operating Temperature Range

The switch is designed for operation across a tested ambient temperature range of -40°C to 70°C, providing deployment flexibility across a wide range of appropriately protected professional network environments.
