MikroTik CRS418-8P-8G-2S+5axQ2axQ-RM-US – 16-Port Gigabit PoE+ L3 Switch with 10G SFP+ and Wi-Fi 6
The MikroTik CRS418-8P-8G-2S+5axQ2axQ-RM-US is a powerful all-in-one Layer 3 managed switch, router, and Wi-Fi 6 access point, designed to simplify modern network deployments. Combining 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports, PoE-out support, dual 10G SFP+ uplinks, and integrated 4x4 MIMO dual-band Wi-Fi 6, this device replaces multiple network components in a single compact 1U rackmount solution.
Built for small to medium-sized businesses, ISPs, and advanced network environments, the CRS418 delivers enterprise-level performance with a quad-core 2.2 GHz ARM CPU, L3 hardware offloading, and RouterOS v7, enabling advanced routing, VLAN segmentation, firewalling, and traffic management in one device.
With 8 PoE-out ports (802.3af/at and passive PoE), a 150W total power budget, and high-speed fiber uplinks, the CRS418 is ideal for powering access points, IP cameras, and network devices while maintaining high-performance connectivity across your infrastructure.
Key Features
- 16 x Gigabit Ethernet ports (8 with PoE-out)
- 2 x 10G SFP+ ports for high-speed uplinks
- Integrated dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with 4x4 MIMO
- Quad-core 2.2 GHz ARM CPU for routing and processing
- L3 hardware offloading for high-performance switching
- RouterOS v7 with advanced networking features
- USB 3.0 port for storage and configuration tools
- Dedicated Gigabit management port with direct CPU access
- Dual redundant power supplies (100-240V AC)
- Up to 150W total PoE output power
All-in-One Network Solution
The CRS418 is designed to replace multiple devices in your network. Instead of deploying separate switches, routers, and access points, this unit consolidates everything into a single platform, reducing complexity, power consumption, and rack space.
It is ideal for environments that require:
- High-density wired connectivity
- Integrated wireless coverage
- Centralized routing and traffic control
- Clean and efficient rack deployments
Advanced Routing & Switching Performance
Powered by a quad-core ARM CPU and L3 hardware offloading, the CRS418 delivers strong performance for both switching and routing tasks. It can function as a gateway router, firewall, VLAN controller, or CAPsMAN wireless controller, making it suitable for hybrid Layer 2/Layer 3 environments.
Integrated Wi-Fi 6 Connectivity
Unlike traditional rack mount switches, the CRS418 includes dual-band Wi-Fi 6 with 4x4 MIMO, providing fast and reliable wireless connectivity directly from the device. External antenna placement options allow improved coverage when installed in server rooms or network racks.
PoE Power for Network Devices
With 8 PoE-out ports, this switch can power access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and other devices without additional power supplies. The 150W power budget ensures reliable operation across multiple connected devices.
High-Speed Uplinks and Scalability
The inclusion of 2x 10G SFP+ ports enables high-speed connections to core networks, NAS systems, or ISP uplinks, ensuring your infrastructure is ready for growing bandwidth demands.
Ideal Applications
- Small and medium business networks
- ISP and WISP deployments
- Office network consolidation (switch + router + AP)
- Surveillance systems with PoE cameras
- High-speed fiber uplink environments
- Advanced RouterOS labs and enterprise setups
