CRS418-8P-8G-2S+5axQ2axQ-RM

Why settle for just a simple switch when you can have PoE-out, high-speed fiber uplinks, USB storage compatibility, advanced network control/monitoring, and enough processing power even for some routing or L3 HW offloading… in a single 1U device and for the best price on the market?

The CRS418-8P-8G-2S+RM combines 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports (eight of them with PoE-out!), two 10G SFP+ cages, USB 3 connectivity, and a powerful quad-core 2.2 GHz CPU in a clean, durable rackmount enclosure. Also, there’s a Gigabit management port with a direct CPU line.

This is a serious upgrade for anyone looking to replace a jungle of devices with one smart multitasker – built for real routing workloads, high-bandwidth uplinks, and clean cable management. Whether you’re powering up access points and CCTV cameras, running a fast NAS with a bunch of modern workstations, or managing the routing in your mid-sized office, CRS418 handles it all with ease – and on a budget!

Wi-Fi where it matters

The all-in-one switch/routing champion also delivers 4×4 MIMO dual-band Wi-Fi 6 – for fast, reliable connectivity wherever you need it. The perfect solution to simplify basement server room setups or medium-sized offices on a tight budget – now you don’t need to carry a separate access point! We know rackmounts are not famous for great wireless coverage. That’s why the CRS418 Wi-Fi edition includes dedicated holes in the back for pigtails, so you can place antennas outside the case if needed.

The device has an operating system preinstalled and licensed. No separate purchase is necessary and the product is ready to use. The device includes free software updates for the life of the product or a minimum of 5 years starting from date of purchase..
