Price$197
The MikroTik CRS326-24G-2S+IN is the desktop version of the legendary CRS326 series. While most 24-port switches are built strictly for server racks, the "IN" model is housed in a compact, sleek desktop enclosure. This makes it an absolute favorite for modern workspaces in Dubai and boutique offices in Lagos or Nairobi where high-speed networking is needed but a full-sized server cabinet isn't available or desired.
- 24 Gigabit Ethernet Ports: High-speed wired connectivity for all your office devices, from PCs to network printers.
- Dual 10G SFP+ Cages: Two dedicated 10Gbps fiber ports for high-capacity uplinks or connecting to high-speed storage (NAS).
- Desktop Form Factor: A compact, fanless design that fits perfectly on a shelf or desk—delivering silent, professional performance.
- Dual-Boot OS: Choose between SwOS for a simple, web-based switch interface or RouterOS for advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities.
- Non-Blocking Throughput: Total switching capacity of 44 Gbps, ensuring wire-speed performance across all ports.
- Power Efficiency: Incredibly low power consumption (max 21W) with a passive cooling system for 100% silent operation.

The MikroTik CRS326-24G-2S+IN is proof that you don't need a noisy server room to have an enterprise-grade network. In the UAE’s boutique firm and co-working sectors, where aesthetics and silence are prioritized, this switch provides a powerful backbone without the distraction of fan noise.
For businesses in South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria, this switch offers incredible versatility.

Its compact size allows it to be tucked away in a small wall cabinet or placed directly on a manager's desk, making it the most flexible 24-port Gigabit switch on the market.

Ideal for agencies in Dubai Media City or JLT. Its silent operation ensures that video editors and designers can work in peace while still enjoying 10Gbps speeds to their central servers.

Perfect for small retail branches or clinics in Riyadh or Accra. It provides enough ports for the entire staff and guest WiFi system in a single, compact box that doesn't require a dedicated rack.
3. Advanced Home Offices & Villas
For the tech-savvy resident in Palm Jumeirah or Emirates Hills, this switch is the heart of a smart home. It handles everything from 4K security camera feeds to high-speed gaming and home automation.
