MikroTik CRS310-1G-5S-4S+IN | The Fiber-Forward Desktop Hub
Price$199
The MikroTik CRS310-1G-5S-4S+IN is a specialized fiber powerhouse designed for small-to-medium distribution points. In Dubai’s tech-driven office spaces and for ISPs across Africa, this switch fills a vital gap: providing high-density 10G and 1G fiber connectivity in a compact, fanless desktop form factor. It is the perfect "Fiber-to-the-Desk" or "Fiber Aggregator" for environments where copper is either insufficient or impractical.
- Fiber Dominant: Features 5x SFP ports (1.25G) and 4x high-speed SFP+ ports (10G).
- 10Gbps Uplinks: Four SFP+ cages allow for massive throughput, ideal for linking multiple servers or creating a high-speed backbone.
- Gigabit Management Port: Includes 1x Gigabit Ethernet port for easy local management or connecting a standard wired device.
- Modern ARM Architecture: Equipped with a 98DX226S switch chip and an 800 MHz ARM CPU for efficient hardware-offloaded Layer 3 routing.
- Silent & Compact: Passive cooling ensures 100% silent operation, making it perfect for office desks or quiet server closets.
- Dual-Boot OS: Choose SwOS for a simple switching experience or RouterOS (v7) for professional-grade routing and VLAN management.

The MikroTik CRS310-1G-5S-4S+IN is built for the "all-fiber" future. In the UAE’s luxury residential and corporate sectors, where fiber is increasingly used to prevent electromagnetic interference and cover longer distances, this switch acts as a central hub. For African ISPs, it serves as an excellent, low-cost distribution point for Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) or building (FTTB) installations.
Despite its small size, it handles data like a giant. With a 92 Gbps switching capacity, it can manage heavy traffic from multiple 10G sources simultaneously. Its fanless design is a major advantage for smaller offices in Riyadh or Nairobi, where a full-sized, loud server rack might not be available, allowing professional-grade fiber networking to happen right on a shelf or desk.

Where to Use This Product
1. Small Data Centers & Server Rooms
Ideal for boutique data centers in Dubai Silicon Oasis. Use the four 10G ports to connect primary servers and the 1G SFP ports for management or secondary backups.
2. Fiber-to-the-Desk (FTTD)
Perfect for high-security or high-interference environments in Abu Dhabi. Run fiber directly to high-performance workstations for a zero-interference, high-speed connection.
3. ISP Distribution Point
A cost-effective choice for regional ISPs in Lagos or Johannesburg. Aggregate fiber feeds from up to 5 customers and backhaul them through a 10G fiber link to the main network.
4. High-End Media Workgroups
A silent, desktop solution for video editors. Connect multiple 10G NAS storage units and 1G control devices in one compact box that doesn't distract the creative team with fan noise.
