MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S+IN 4-Port 10G SFP+ Managed Desktop Switch

The MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S+IN is a compact high-performance managed switch designed for businesses, professional workstations, home labs and network environments requiring affordable 10 Gigabit connectivity. It combines four 10G SFP+ interfaces with one Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port, providing a practical solution for connecting servers, network storage, workstations and other high-bandwidth equipment without requiring a full-size rackmount switch.

Powered by the Marvell 98DX3236 switching platform, the CRS305-1G-4S+IN supports advanced switching functionality and Layer 3 hardware offloading under RouterOS. Dual boot capability allows administrators to select RouterOS for advanced networking or SwOS for streamlined switch management, while dual DC inputs, 802.3af/at PoE-in and passive fanless cooling provide flexible and reliable deployment.

MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S+IN 4-Port 10G SFP+ Managed Switch Features in Kenya

Four 10G SFP+ Ports

The CRS305-1G-4S+IN provides 4 × 10 Gigabit SFP+ interfaces for high-speed fiber or compatible direct-attach connections to servers, storage systems, workstations, switches and other bandwidth-intensive network equipment.

High-Speed 10 Gigabit Networking

Each SFP+ interface supports connectivity up to 10 Gbps, making the CRS305 an effective upgrade for environments where conventional Gigabit Ethernet has become a performance bottleneck.

Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 Port

A dedicated 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet interface provides convenient copper connectivity for network management and other supported networking functions without consuming one of the four primary SFP+ interfaces.

Layer 3 Hardware Offloading

The Marvell switching platform supports Layer 3 hardware offloading under supported RouterOS configurations, allowing compatible routing operations to be processed directly by the switching hardware for improved performance.

RouterOS and SwOS Dual Boot

The CRS305 supports both MikroTik RouterOS and SwOS. RouterOS provides extensive routing, switching and network management functionality, while SwOS offers a simpler operating environment focused specifically on managed switching.

RouterOS Level 5 License

An included RouterOS Level 5 license provides extensive MikroTik networking functionality for advanced switching, VLAN configuration, traffic management and other professional network applications.

VLAN Network Segmentation

VLAN support enables administrators to logically separate servers, storage devices, workstations, management traffic and other network resources while maintaining shared physical switching infrastructure.

Ideal for High-Speed Storage Networks

Four 10G interfaces make the CRS305 particularly suitable for connecting NAS systems, servers and high-performance workstations where large files, backups and other data-intensive workloads require greater bandwidth than standard Gigabit Ethernet.

802.3af/at PoE-in

The Gigabit Ethernet interface supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE-in, allowing the switch to receive both network connectivity and electrical power through a compatible PoE source for greater installation flexibility.

Dual DC Power Inputs

Two DC jack inputs provide additional powering flexibility and can be used to improve power resilience when suitable independent power sources are connected.

Wide 12–57V Input Range

A broad 12–57V DC input range provides compatibility with different power infrastructure and makes the CRS305 easier to integrate into a variety of professional network installations.

Low Power Consumption

The CRS305 consumes approximately 10W without attachments and up to 18W maximum, providing energy-efficient operation despite its four high-speed 10G interfaces.

Completely Silent Fanless Operation

A passive cooling system eliminates mechanical fan noise, making the switch particularly suitable for offices, studios, home labs and other environments where quiet operation is important.

Compact Metal Enclosure

Measuring only 141 × 115 × 28 mm, the CRS305 requires minimal installation space. Its durable metal enclosure provides a professional and compact solution for desktop and space-constrained deployments.

Wide Operating Temperature Range

The switch has been tested for operation between -40°C and 70°C, providing flexibility across a wide range of appropriately protected indoor network environments.
