MikroTik CRS320-8P-8B-4S+RM | The High-Power NetPower Alternative
Price$488
The MikroTik CRS320-8P-8B-4S+RM is a unique, high-power PoE switch designed for the most demanding professional setups. It introduces a specialized feature set aimed at those who need to power heavy-duty equipment. For Smart City projects in Dubai or WISP base stations across Africa, this switch is a beast—offering a mix of standard PoE and high-power 802.3bt (PoE++) capabilities to drive devices that standard switches simply can't handle.
- 802.3bt PoE++ Support: Includes 8x "8B" ports capable of delivering high-wattage power (PoE++) for power-hungry devices like high-end PTZ cameras and 60GHz radios.
- 16 Total PoE-Out Ports: 8x standard PoE+ ports and 8x PoE++ (802.3bt) ports, all Gigabit.
- 4x 10G SFP+ Uplinks: Four dedicated 10Gbps SFP+ cages ensure your high-power devices have a massive data pipe back to the core.
- Redundant Power Ready: Features a specialized DC power input (48-57V) allowing for high-wattage throughput and power redundancy.
- L3 Hardware Offloading: Powered by a modern Marvell switch chip, it handles routing and VLAN filtering at wire-speed.
- Rackmount Design: A standard 1U rackmount chassis that fits perfectly into any 19-inch enterprise cabinet.

The MikroTik CRS320-8P-8B-4S+RM is built for a specific mission: delivering massive power alongside massive speed. In the UAE’s security and hospitality sectors, where high-end 4K PTZ cameras and high-capacity WiFi 6E/7 Access Points are becoming standard, this switch provides the 802.3bt power those devices demand.
For ISPs in Africa, this switch is a game-changer for tower deployments. The "8B" ports can power high-performance 60GHz wireless backhauls (like the MikroTik Cube or 60G Precision) that require more juice than standard PoE+ can provide. With four 10G SFP+ ports, you have plenty of room to aggregate multiple fiber or high-speed wireless links into one central, manageable hub.

Where to Use This Product
1. High-End Surveillance Networks
The perfect choice for malls or industrial sites in Jebel Ali or Abu Dhabi. Power heavy-duty thermal cameras or long-range PTZ units that require 802.3bt power while streaming 4K video back over 10G fiber.
2. WiFi 6E / WiFi 7 Infrastructure
Ideal for large office buildings in Nairobi or Dubai Internet City. Many of the latest high-performance Access Points require PoE++ to operate all radios at full capacity; the CRS320 is built exactly for this.
3. WISP Tower Aggregation
A powerful solution for regional providers in South Africa or Nigeria. Power all your sector antennas and high-capacity backhauls from a single rackmount unit, with 10G uplinks to prevent congestion.
4. Professional AV-over-IP
Great for event spaces and studios. Use the high-power ports to drive touch-panels, motorized screens, or AV-over-IP encoders that need stable, high-wattage power.
