The MikroTik CRS326-24S+2Q+RM is built for pure throughput. In the UAE’s enterprise market, where businesses are increasingly centralizing their data, this switch provides the 10Gbps "superhighway" needed for fast server access and local file transfers. For African ISPs, it is a highly cost-effective way to manage fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) distribution points, allowing for multiple 10G backhaul links.
By offering dual redundant power supplies, MikroTik ensures that your core network doesn't go down due to a single power failure. Whether you are using it as a "Top-of-Rack" switch in a data center or as a main distribution switch for a large office building, the CRS326-24S+2Q+RM delivers professional-grade fiber management at a fraction of the traditional cost.

Where to Use This Product
1. Data Center Aggregation
The perfect core switch for a rack in Dubai Silicon Oasis. Use the 24 SFP+ ports to connect 24 individual servers at 10Gbps, then use the 40G QSFP+ ports to link back to the main data center fabric.
2. ISP Distribution Hub
Ideal for regional hubs in Lagos, Nairobi, or Johannesburg. This switch can aggregate multiple fiber lines from different neighborhoods and backhaul the data over a high-capacity 40G link.
3. High-Speed Media Storage (NAS)
A great choice for video production houses in Dubai Media City. Connect all your high-speed NAS storage arrays and editing workstations via 10G fiber to ensure zero lag during 4K or 8K video editing.
4. Corporate Backbone
Use this switch to connect several 24-port or 48-port user switches (like the CRS326-24G) at 10Gbps, creating a high-performance network backbone for a multi-floor office building.
