Price$209
The MikroTik CRS112-8P-4S-IN is a versatile and cost-effective member of the Cloud Router Switch series. It is a highly popular choice for IT integrators in the UAE and WISP operators across Africa who need a reliable, low-power desktop switch that can power multiple devices while providing fiber connectivity. It combines the best features of a fully functional router and a Layer 3 switch with the convenience of PoE-out.
- 8x Gigabit PoE Ports: Power multiple devices directly via Ethernet, reducing cable clutter.
- 4x SFP Ports: Dedicated 1.25G fiber ports for long-distance uplinks (no shared ports).
- Dual Boot (RouterOS/SwOS): Choose between the simplicity of SwOS or the advanced routing power of RouterOS.
- Flexible Powering: Features two DC jacks to support both Low Voltage (18-28V) and High Voltage (48-57V) PoE devices.
- Quiet Operation: Compact, fanless desktop enclosure—perfect for quiet office environments in Dubai or Riyadh.
- Enterprise Features: Supports VLANs, IGMP Snooping, Port Mirroring, and Bandwidth Limiting.

The MikroTik CRS112-8P-4S-IN is a specialized tool designed to solve power and connectivity challenges in one go. For small businesses in Lagos, Nairobi, or Abu Dhabi, this switch acts as the "heart" of the local office network.
What sets this model apart is its dual DC input system. By adding a 48V power supply, you can power professional 802.3af/at devices like high-end IP phones or security cameras. Without the extra power supply, it’s an efficient way to manage 24V passive PoE devices. It is the most affordable way to get 4 dedicated fiber ports in a single, small-form-factor device, allowing you to link multiple buildings or floors with ease.

Where to Use This Product
1. Small Office IP Telephony
Ideal for startup offices in Dubai’s JLT or Business Bay. Power up to 8 VoIP phones directly from the switch while using the fiber SFP ports to connect to the main building riser.
2. CCTV & Security Systems
A favorite for security installers in South Africa and Egypt. Use it to power a cluster of IP cameras in a retail store or warehouse. The SFP ports allow the video feed to be sent over fiber to a remote NVR without the risk of electromagnetic interference.
3. WISP Micro-Pop Sites
For internet providers in rural Africa, the CRS112-8P-4S-IN is a great choice for small distribution points. It can power several wireless sector antennas or backhauls, providing a compact, all-in-one solution for small neighborhood coverage.
4. Home Automation Hubs
Perfect for smart homes in Saudi Arabia or the UAE. Hide this silent switch in a cabinet to power your smart wall panels, WiFi access points, and security sensors while maintaining a high-speed fiber link to your home media server.
