MikroTik CRS328-24P-4S+RM 24 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
The MikroTik CRS328-24P-4S+RM is an enterprise-grade 28-independent-port Smart Switch designed to be the backbone of high-demand networks. Engineered for maximum versatility, it houses 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports alongside 4 high-speed 10Gbps SFP+ optical ports for ultra-fast fiber uplinks.
What sets this workstation power-house apart is its auto-sensing 450W PoE output system. Capable of driving standard IEEE 802.3af/at (PoE/PoE+) as well as 26V Passive PoE, it intelligently adapts to match connected IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP devices. Powered by MikroTik’s Dual Boot system, administrators can toggle between the lightweight SwOS for simplified Layer 2 switching or the fully featured RouterOS (Level 5) for complex Layer 3 routing, VLAN management, and firewall operations—all housed within a quiet, 1U rackmountable chassis.

FAQs for MikroTik CRS328-24P-4S+RM
Q: Can I run non-PoE network devices on the CRS328-24P-4S+RM safely?
A: Yes. The switch utilizes smart auto-sensing technology. It checks connected ports and only delivers power if an active PoE-compatible device is detected, keeping standard laptops and desktops safe.
Q: What is the benefit of the “Dual Boot” feature on this switch?
A: Dual Boot allows you to boot into SwOS if you only require fast, plug-and-play Layer 2 web management, or into RouterOS if you need enterprise Layer 3 capabilities like advanced firewall rules, VPN gateways, and dynamic routing.
Q: Do I need to purchase a separate power supply for this unit?
A: No. The CRS328-24P-4S+RM features a built-in 500W AC power supply inside the metal chassis—you simply plug it directly into a standard wall socket or PDU using the included IEC power cable.
