CRS418-8P-8G-2S+RM
You wanted a switch that could do more. So we built one that does everything! 16x (+1) Gigabit Ethernet ports (8x with PoE-out), dual 10G uplinks, and a powerful quad-core 2.2 GHz ARM CPU. Powerful enough to replace most small/medium office routers, ~3x faster than a CRS320 or a CRS328… and for a better price!
More than a switch!
PoE-out, high-speed fiber uplinks, USB storage compatibility, advanced network control/monitoring, and enough processing power even for some routing or L3 HW offloading… in a single 1U device and for the best price on the market.
16 x Gbit, 2x 10G SFP+ and more
The CRS418-8P-8G-2S+RM combines 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports (eight of them with PoE-out!), two 10G SFP+ cages, USB 3 connectivity. Also, there’s a Gigabit management port with a direct CPU line.
Quad-core CPU
Powerful quad-core 2.2 GHz CPU in a clean, durable rackmount enclosure.
This is a serious upgrade for anyone looking to replace a jungle of devices with one smart multitasker – built for real routing workloads, high-bandwidth uplinks, and clean cable management. Whether you’re powering up access points and CCTV ameras, running a fast NAS with a bunch of modern workstations, or managing the routing in your mid-sized office, CRS418 handles it all with ease – and on a budget!
Why CRS418?
It is perfect for hybrid Layer 2/3 environments – whether you’re segmenting your network with VLANs or routing between them. Here’s why:
Powerful enough to replace most small/medium office routers
Thanks to its 2.2 GHz quad-core ARM CPU, L3 hardware offloading, and RouterOS v7, you can use it as an internet gateway, firewall, and even a CAPsMAN controller.
2x 10G SFP+ cages
Connect to media servers, fast ISP fiber networks, core switches, or high-speed storage.
1U rackmount case with redundant power inputs
Space-saving and secure with dual AC inputs for extra peace of mind.
8x PoE-out ports (802.3af/at and 24V Passive PoE-out)
Power your devices directly from the switch with up to 150 W total output
USB 3 for extra storage or configuration tools
Perfect for backups, logs, databases, or pushing large files around your organization.
17 Gigabit Ethernet ports
Organize all your gear with a mix of PoE and standard Gigabit ports in one rack-mountable unit. Having a nice, clean server room is easy – if you have the right tools.
RouterOS v7
Use all the advanced switching and routing features MikroTik is known for. No subscriptions, no paywalls, the only limit is
your imagination. VLANs, ACLs, SNMP, advanced monitoring & traffic shaping, and so much more!
It’s a real multi-tasking champion that keeps your network lean and your server room clean.

- All tests are done with Xena Networks specialized test equipment (XenaBay),and done according to RFC2544 (Xena2544)
- Max throughput is determined with 30+ second attempts with 0,1% packet loss tolerance in 64, 512, 1518 byte packet sizes
- Test results show device maximum performance, and are reached using mentioned hardware and software configuration, different configurations most likely will result in lower results
