Description

MikroTik CRS210-8G-2S+IN Cloud Router Switch in Kenya and Africa

The MikroTik CRS210-8G-2S+IN Cloud Router Switch is a compact networking device designed for organisations that need Gigabit Ethernet switching and high-speed fibre uplinks in a small desktop enclosure. Combining switch functionality with RouterOS, it provides a flexible platform for business networks, network laboratories and selected service-provider applications.

Globikom supplies networking, connectivity and IT infrastructure equipment to businesses, internet service providers, system integrators and other organisations in Kenya and across Africa. Contact our team to confirm availability, pricing, delivery options and compatibility with your network.

Gigabit Ethernet connectivity

The CRS210-8G-2S+IN features eight 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting network devices such as computers, servers, access points, routers and other Ethernet equipment. Gigabit connectivity provides a practical foundation for local network traffic and business connectivity.

Two SFP+ cages for fibre uplinks

The switch includes two SFP+ cages for high-speed fibre connectivity. The first cage supports compatible 1.25G and 10G modules, while the second supports 10G modules. These interfaces can be used for suitable fibre uplinks and connections to compatible switches or other network infrastructure.

Always verify the supported transceiver type, fibre specification, distance and compatibility with the equipment at the other end before ordering. SFP+ modules are not listed as included in the standard product package.

RouterOS and network management

The CRS210 runs MikroTik RouterOS and includes a Level 5 software licence. Its switching capabilities support network configurations that can include VLANs, traffic separation and other managed-switch functions, depending on the software version and configuration.

RouterOS also allows selected routing functions. However, this is an older platform with a 400 MHz single-core CPU and 64 MB RAM. Its suitability for routing workloads depends on traffic levels, configuration complexity and required features. For demanding modern routing applications, compare its capabilities with newer MikroTik models before making a purchasing decision.

Compact desktop design

The metal enclosure measures approximately 200 × 144 × 47 mm and is suitable for desktop installation in an appropriate indoor networking environment. The device includes an LCD, monitoring features and an RJ45 serial console for administration and troubleshooting.

Power options

The CRS210-8G-2S+IN supports a 10–57 V DC input range and passive PoE input, with support for compatible 802.3af/at powering arrangements specified by MikroTik. Maximum power consumption is approximately 13 W. The standard package is specified to include a 24 V, 0.8 A power adapter and rackmount ears.

Important: PoE is an input capability; do not assume this switch supplies PoE power to connected devices.

Who should consider this switch?

This model may suit organisations maintaining existing MikroTik installations, small business networks that need Gigabit Ethernet and SFP+ connectivity, and technical teams requiring a compact managed switch. Because MikroTik lists the CRS210-8G-2S+IN as discontinued, buyers should confirm stock availability and support requirements before purchasing it for a new deployment.
