MikroTik CRS328-4C-20S-4S+RM | Professional Fiber Aggregation Switch
Price$447
The MikroTik CRS328-4C-20S-4S+RM is a high-performance, rack-mountable solution designed for those who need serious fiber density. It is the "gold standard" for fiber aggregation in Dubai’s commercial data centers and for ISPs across Africa looking to bridge the gap between core routers and local distribution. With its unique combo ports and 10G SFP+ capabilities, it offers unmatched flexibility in a 1U form factor.
- Fiber Powerhouse: 20 dedicated SFP cages (1.25G) for extensive fiber-to-the-home or building links.
- Versatile Combo Ports: 4x Combo ports that let you choose between Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) or SFP, depending on your needs.
- 10G Uplinks: 4x SFP+ ports (10G) for high-speed core backhauls or server connections.
- Dual Boot OS: Use SwOS for a simple, fast switch interface, or RouterOS for complex Layer 3 routing and firewalling.
- Redundant Power: Features two built-in AC power supplies to ensure 24/7 uptime—if one fails, the other takes over instantly.
- Non-Blocking Throughput: Total switching capacity of 64 Gbps with a forwarding rate of 95.2 Mpps.

The MikroTik CRS328-4C-20S-4S+RM is built for high-demand connectivity. In the UAE’s smart-city infrastructure, this switch serves as a central aggregation point, collecting fiber feeds from various sensors, cameras, and access points. For African ISPs, it is a cost-effective way to manage fiber-to-the-business (FTTB) clients, allowing for isolated VLANs and high-speed delivery over long distances.
The standout feature is the dual redundant power supplies. In regions where power stability can be a challenge, having a built-in backup ensures your network backbone remains stable. Whether you are running a large office complex or a regional distribution point, the CRS328 provides the "no-compromise" performance required for modern data loads.

Where to Use This Product
1. ISP Aggregation Hubs
Perfect for ISPs in Lagos or Nairobi. Use the 20 SFP ports to connect 20 different buildings or clients via fiber, then aggregate all that traffic into a 10G core backbone.
2. Large-Scale Campus Networking
Ideal for universities or hospital campuses in Abu Dhabi or Riyadh. The fiber ports allow you to link remote wings and buildings over kilometers of distance without signal degradation.
3. Data Center Rack Management
A great "Top-of-Rack" switch for environments with many fiber-connected servers. Use the combo ports for management and the SFP+ ports for ultra-high-speed data transfer.
4. High-End Surveillance Backbones
Aggregate dozens of high-definition fiber-connected IP cameras across large industrial sites in Saudi Arabia or Egypt, ensuring crystal-clear video feeds reach the control room at 10Gbps.
