MikroTik’s CR305 is a compact yet very powerful switch, featuring four SFP+ ports, for up to 10 Gbit per port. The device has a 1 Gbit copper Ethernet port for management access and two DC jacks for power redundancy. The CR305 comes in a very sleek and compact metallic case without any fans, for silent operation.

The device has a “Dual boot” feature that allows you to choose between two operating systems – RouterOS or SwOS. If you prefer to have a simplified operating system with only switch specific features, use SwOS. If you would like the ability to use routing and other Layer 3 features in your CRS, use RouterOS. You can select the desired operating system from RouterOS, from SwOS or from the RouterBOOT loader settings. All these features come with a disruptive price, providing the best price-performance ratio on the market.

The CR305 is a low-density switch with very good switching capacity. This switch can deliver full-duplex capacity across the 4 SFP+ ports, where most other switches will not be able to deliver full-duplex speeds across all ports at the same time.

What makes the new MikroTik CRS305 stand out from the crowd?

• Dual DC jack for redundancy and PoE
• Passive cooling for silent operation and less chance of failure
• Dual boot – Choose between RouterOS or SwOS
• Delivers an 80Gbps switching capacity at a disruptive price.

The CRS305 is robust and can be used at high sites, high capacity hops and where active fibre needs to be extended.
