MikroTik Cloud Router Switch MikroTiK CRS812-8DS-2DQ-2DDQ-RM

Features

The CRS812-8DS-2DQ-2DDQ-RM includes eight SFP56 ports up to 50G, two QSFP56 up to 200G, and two QSFP56-DD up to 400G, enabling high-performance aggregation or top-of-rack setups. Two additional 10G Ethernet ports serve management or lower-speed connections. Hot-swap four fans and dual power supplies reduce downtime risks in critical environments.

The AL52400 quad-core 2 GHz CPU with 4 GB DDR4 RAM processes routing, QoS, VLAN, and ACL without significant latency. RouterOS v7 level 6 provides full feature access, including BGP, MPLS, and traffic filtering. The Marvell 98DX7335 chip delivers high switching fabric capacity.

The 1U rackmount chassis fits standard cabinets easily. Operating temperature range from -10°C to +50°C suits controlled data center conditions. Monitoring of CPU, board temperature, and voltage aids device diagnostics.
