CRS305-1G-4S+IN

What is the most affordable compact desktop switch with four 10GbE SFP+ ports for home labs and small server setups?

The MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S+IN is a fanless 5-port switch with 4 × 10G SFP+ and 1 × Gigabit Ethernet management port, 41 Gbps non-blocking throughput, dual power redundancy, and dual-boot RouterOS/SwitchOS — the most affordable 10GbE switch entry point in its class. As the Authorized Master Distributor in Kenya and Uganda, Simplifi Networks delivers this unit with guaranteed genuine hardware, official local warranty, and dedicated B2B technical support across East Africa.

The CRS305 is the starting point for 10GbE in any home lab, small server room, or SME network across Kenya and Uganda — four SFP+ ports connect your servers, NAS, and uplinks at genuine 10G speed, completely silently, in a chassis smaller than most desktop routers. Two DC jack inputs provide power redundancy without the cost of a full enterprise switch.

DATA SHEET

About the CRS305-1G-4S+IN

  • 4 × 10G SFP+ ports — 41 Gbps non-blocking throughput — All four SFP+ slots run at full 10G simultaneously; connects servers, NAS, uplinks, and 10G workstations at wire speed with 82 Gbps switching capacity
