The MikroTik CRS504-4XQ-IN is proof that you don't need a massive budget or a giant server rack to achieve 100 Gigabit speeds. This "little brother" to the larger CRS series packs the same Marvell Prestera punch, making it a favorite for UAE-based tech startups and African ISPs looking for a compact distribution layer.
One of the standout features is its flexibility. You can use it as a 100G core switch, or leverage breakout cables to create a high-density 25G environment for your server farm. Its dual hot-swap power supplies provide the peace of mind required for mission-critical operations in Nairobi, Cairo, or Abu Dhabi, where infrastructure reliability is a top priority.

Where to Use This Product
1. High-Speed Server Interconnects
Perfect for small to medium data centers where you need to link high-performance servers at 25G or 100G speeds without taking up significant rack space.
2. ISP Distribution & Aggregation
An ideal choice for regional ISPs in South Africa or Nigeria to aggregate multiple 10G or 25G fiber links from different neighborhoods into a single 100G backbone.
3. Professional Workgroups
Ideal for high-end creative studios in Dubai Media City working with uncompressed 8K video, where 10G is no longer fast enough for real-time collaboration on NAS storage.
4. Redundant Network Core
Because of its dual hot-swap PSUs and diverse powering options (including PoE-in), it serves as an excellent redundant core for any business that cannot afford even a minute of connectivity loss.
