The CRS328-24P-4S+RM is a 28 independent port switch featuring 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports. It offers various power output options including passive PoE, low voltage PoE, and 802.3af/at (Type 1 “PoE” / Type 2 “PoE+”) with auto-sensing. PoE-Out is delivered over mode B pins (4,5+)(7,8-). The four SFP+ ports provide connectivity options of up to 10 Gbps via either optical fiber or Ethernet modules (not included).

The CRS328-24P-4S+RM comes in a 1U rackmount case with a built-in 100-240 V AC 500 W power supply. The device consumes up to 44 W, leaving a guaranteed 450 W (3x150 W for every 8 Ethernet ports) to power your PoE devices. Each port can provide up to 30 W of power with any chosen output option.

This device features a “dual boot” capability, allowing you to select between two operating systems: RouterOS or SwOS. If you prefer a simplified operating system with only switch-specific features, you can use SwOS. For routing and other Layer 3 features, RouterOS is the preferred choice. You can select the desired operating system from RouterOS, from SwOS, or from the RouterBOOT loader settings. This feature set is offered at a competitive price, providing the best price/performance on the market.
