CRS518-16XS-2XQ-RM - 100 Gigabit switch for enterprise networks and data centers

CRS518-16XS-2XQ-RM - 100 Gigabit switch for enterprise networks and data centers

As MikroTik's 100 Gigabit product family grows, the time has come to introduce a serious enterprise-level switch. A switch that is up for the challenge when the CRS504 port density is just not enough. Introducing the spectacular CRS518-16XS-2XQ!

With 2x 100 Gigabit QSFP28 ports and 16x 25 Gigabit SFP28 ports, this is the perfect cost-effective addition to any enterprise network or data center. And with dual-redundant hot-swappable power supplies and fans, you won’t have to worry about unnecessary downtime.

The two hot-swap power supplies support a high input voltage range: 100-240 V. The board itself uses up to 4 5W of power, while the total maximum power consumption goes up to 77 W with all the attachments. It can be a bit more power-hungry than the CRS504, but you would be too if you had 16x 25-Gigabit ports, wouldn’t you?

MikroTik's 100 Gigabit product family keeps growing: switches, routers, cables, and QSFP28 modules. If you want real speed and ultimate flexibility for the best price on the market – you want MikroTik!
