In the competitive landscape of Middle Eastern and African networking, downtime is not an option. The MikroTik CRS510-8XS-2XQ-IN is engineered to bridge the gap between affordability and enterprise-grade performance.
For businesses in the UAE, where digital transformation is moving at a lightning pace, the 100Gbps capability ensures your rack is future-proofed for AI and cloud-intensive workloads. Meanwhile, for the African market, the CRS510’s diverse powering options (including 2-pin terminals and PoE-in) make it the most resilient choice for regions with varying power stability. It effectively eliminates "nerve-wracking" downtimes with its dual hot-swap power supplies.
From managing complex VLANs and MLAG setups to utilizing Jumbo frames for storage area networks, the Marvell Prestera chip ensures that performance remains peak without the heat or high electricity costs. It is the "Swiss Army Knife" of 100G switches—compact enough for a small server room but powerful enough for a regional ISP.

1. Enterprise Data Centers & Server Rooms
In the high-tech business districts of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, this switch is the perfect "Top-of-Rack" solution. Use the 100G QSFP28 ports for high-speed core uplinks, while the 25G SFP28 ports provide lightning-fast dedicated lanes to your primary servers and storage arrays.
2. ISP Backbone & Regional Hubs
For Internet Service Providers across Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa, the CRS510 is a game-changer. Its L3 Hardware Offloading allows for efficient routing and traffic management. The multiple powering options (DC jack, 2-pin terminal, and PoE-in) are vital for maintaining uptime in regions where power grid stability can be a challenge.
3. Media Production & Broadcasting
With support for Jumbo frames and massive throughput, this switch is ideal for 4K/8K video editing suites and broadcasting studios. It handles massive file transfers between NAS storage and editing workstations without breaking a sweat or dropping frames.
4. Tech Startups & Co-working Spaces
As African tech hubs in Lagos, Nairobi, and Cairo continue to grow, the CRS510 offers an affordable entry point into 100G networking. It allows growing companies to scale their internal networks without needing to replace hardware every two years, thanks to its extensive backward compatibility (40G, 25G, 10G, and 1G).
5. Redundant Mission-Critical Environments
Thanks to the Dual Hot-Swap Power Supplies, this unit is perfect for hospitals, financial institutions, and security firms where a power failure could be catastrophic. If one PSU fails, the other takes over instantly, ensuring your 24/7 operations stay online.
