Overview

Editorial opinion

Best for: Linking a NAS or server at 10 GbE while everything else stays at gigabit.

Editorial opinionWould we buy it today?

Yes for a cheap 10 GbE uplink; for 2.5 GbE clients, look at the CRS310.

Pros and cons

Editorial opinion

Pros

  • 2 × SFP+ at a gigabit-switch price
  • Fanless metal case, 1U high
  • VLANs in SwOS Lite

Cons

  • SwOS Lite is spartan
  • Gigabit RJ45 only
  • SFP+ modules or DAC cables sold apart

Good to know

Rack ears for a 19-inch rack come in the box. MikroTik's RMK-2/10 kit mounts it in a 10-inch rack.
