MikroTik CRS326 Switch – 2.5G + 40G High-Speed Rackmount Network Solution

MikroTik CRS326 Switch – 2.5G + 40G More offices, studios, and professional environments are switching to the fast and reliable 2.5 Gigabit standard. That’s why we created an affordable solution that fits into this ever-changing landscape. It makes your life easier, saves your budget, and offers extra flexibility. You get excellent port density and ultra-fast fiber interfaces. The new MikroTik CRS326 Switch offers all that — and more. It features 20x 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports. There are also 4x combo ports that work as either extra 2.5G Ethernet or 10G SFP+ interfaces. On top of that, it includes 2x 40 Gigabit QSFP+ cages for lightning-fast fiber connectivity. Practical and future-proof. Powered by the mighty Marvell Prestera switch chip and a dedicated CPU, this switch handles your daily tasks with ease. VLANs, jumbo frames, link aggregation, ACL rules — even basic Layer 3 routing is possible. Dual-redundant power supplies and an extra 100 Mbps Ethernet port for management help avoid long-term issues. We’ve also included everything you need to mount this powerful switch in a standard 19” rack. Like many MikroTik devices, this one was built from real-world need. Our video team needed a fast, cost-effective solution to connect all studio devices — without a dedicated rack. The studio has no extra space. They use the 2.5G ports to connect equipment, computers, extra screens, and recorders. The four combo ports link to other departments for footage review. One 40G line connects to the NAS media server. The other goes to the editor’s multimedia station — where all the magic happens. This is a wirespeed switch, so every port delivers maximum performance. The result? Faster videos, smoother workflows, and happier teams.
