MikroTik CRS812-8DS-2DQ-2DDQ-RM

The MikroTik CRS812-8DS-2DQ-2DDQ-RM is a next-generation Cloud Router Switch designed to deliver reliable performance for advanced enterprise and data center networks. Powered by a 4-core 2 GHz ARM64 processor, 4 GB of RAM, and 512 MB NAND storage, it ensures smooth handling of complex switching and routing tasks. The device runs RouterOS v7, offering a versatile mix of Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, including VLAN management, dynamic routing protocols, and MPLS support. With its non-blocking architecture, every port is capable of sustaining full throughput, preventing bottlenecks even during periods of heavy or mixed traffic. This makes it well-suited for high-demand environments such as core aggregation points, server clusters, or ISP infrastructure. Hardware offloading accelerates packet forwarding, while flexible configuration options allow administrators to optimize performance for different use cases. Combining raw processing power with intelligent software features, the CRS812 provides a solid backbone for future-proof networking solutions.

CRS812-8DS-2DQ-2DDQ-RM is equipped with multiple high-speed interfaces, offering the flexibility needed to integrate with both current and next-generation infrastructures. The front panel includes two 1G/2.5G/5G/10G Ethernet ports for standard device connectivity, as well as eight SFP56 ports for 1-50G links and high-capacity uplink slots using QSFP56 and QSFP56-DD modules supporting speeds of 200G and 400G. These ports deliver flexible, high-bandwidth connectivity across aggregation layers and backbone networks. Integrated hot-swap power supplies and cooling fans ensure continuous uptime, even in mission-critical deployments. With compact rack-mount design and efficient cable management, the CRS812 is tailored for modern data centers where density, airflow, and space optimization matter. Its diverse port options allow organizations to migrate smoothly from older standards to the latest high-bandwidth technologies, all while ensuring consistent low latency and secure connections.

The CRS812-8DS-2DQ-2DDQ-RM is engineered with reliability as a top priority, ensuring it can withstand the challenges of demanding business and service provider environments. Its dual hot-swap power supply bays allow uninterrupted operation, as one unit can be replaced while the other continues powering the device. The four hot-swappable fans provide continuous cooling, protecting the hardware during sustained workloads. The switch is rack-mountable in a 1U form factor, fitting seamlessly into standard racks, while its tested ambient operating range of –10 °C to +50 °C makes it suitable for diverse deployment scenarios. Built-in monitoring functions, including CPU, PCB temperature, and voltage sensors, give administrators precise insight into system health. On the software side, RouterOS provides a complete set of tools for traffic management, QoS, firewall, and dynamic routing. Together, these hardware and software safeguards ensure minimal downtime, predictable performance, and the long-term stability critical to growing networks.
