- 5 × 1.25G SFP cages + 1 × Gigabit Ethernet/SFP combo port — Six independent fiber or hybrid ports; each SFP cage accepts standard 1.25G SFP modules (not included); combo port adds flexibility to use Ethernet or fiber on the same port depending on your needs
- DDMI support on all SFP ports — Digital Diagnostic Monitoring lets you read optical power levels, temperature, and link quality from each SFP module directly in RouterOS or your NMS; simplifies fiber troubleshooting across East Africa
- RouterOS L5 — full managed switch and Layer 3 features — VLANs, MAC filtering, traffic mirroring, bandwidth limiting, port isolation, and SNMP; use individual ports for routing if needed — far beyond what a typical unmanaged SFP switch provides
- 400 MHz CPU, 128 MB RAM, passive PoE-in (11–30V) — Powers via passive PoE from an upstream router or DC jack; fanless and completely silent; low power draw keeps operating costs minimal in Kenya and Uganda
- Compact 114 × 137 × 29 mm desktop chassis, -20°C to +70°C — Small enough to sit next to any router or switch; temperature-rated for East Africa's full indoor environment range from air-conditioned server rooms to warm office spaces
What you get
- Authorized Master Distributor — Official MikroTik channel partner for Kenya and Uganda
- Guaranteed Genuine — Every unit sourced directly; zero counterfeit risk

- B2B Technical Support — Certified engineers across East Africa for pre-sale, deployment, and after-sales support
Unlike basic unmanaged SFP switches, the CRS106-1C-5S runs full RouterOS Level 5, giving your team access to advanced switching and basic routing features through the familiar Winbox and web interface. VLAN configuration, MAC filtering, traffic management, and Layer 2 switching are all accessible through the same interface your team already uses on MikroTik routers. The 128MB RAM and 400MHz CPU provide sufficient processing headroom for the switching workloads this device is designed to handle, and the RJ45 console port allows direct access for initial configuration or troubleshooting without network connectivity.
The CRS106-1C-5S features
fully passive cooling with no fans or moving parts — reducing the risk of hardware failure over time and keeping the unit completely silent during operation. It supports passive PoE input for flexible powering, and the compact 114x137x29mm desktop form factor makes it easy to install in tight spaces without requiring rack mounting. For deployments in small server rooms, ISP equipment rooms, or remote branch offices across Kenya and Uganda, this is a practical switching platform that is easy to transport, install, and manage.
Simplifi Networks stocks the CRS106-1C-5S locally in Uganda and Kenya with local warranty support and B2B pricing for resellers and ISPs. For any deployment that revolves around SFP connectivity, this compact switch delivers exactly what you need at a price that makes it easy to deploy at scale.
