Review: easy to setup 10g fully managed switch - for the price would not turn back. easy to setup and can use out of the box as l2 switch. would suggest replacing the fans (will kill the warranty but will save your ears) Review: Starker 10G-Switch für Homelab und Profi-Netzwerke - Der MikroTik CRS312-4C+8XG-RM ist ein richtig solides Arbeitstier. 8× 10GBase-T und 4× Combo-Ports bieten viel Flexibilität, gerade wenn Kupfer und SFP+ gemischt werden sollen. Verarbeitung ist top, Lüfter laufen leise und das Gerät passt sauber ins Rack. RouterOS bzw. SwitchOS bieten extrem viele Möglichkeiten. L3-Features, VLANs, LACP, Routing – alles da. Man sollte aber wissen, was man tut. Kein Plug-and-Play wie bei Consumer-Switches, sondern klar auf Admins und Homelab-Nutzer ausgelegt. Performance ist stabil, auch unter Dauerlast. Für Virtualisierung, Server, NAS oder Backbone im Heimnetz absolut geeignet. Pluspunkte: 10G auf Kupfer ohne Gefrickel Sehr flexibel konfigurierbar Gute Performance, stabile Firmware Preislich fair für die gebotene Leistung Minuspunkte: Einarbeitung nötig Webinterface nicht jedermanns Sache Fazit: Wer einen leistungsstarken 10G-Switch sucht und sich mit MikroTik auskennt (oder es lernen will), macht hier nichts falsch.

Or just a switch.** A: It is a layer 3 switch. A L3 switch is a switch with routing features, so his performance as a switch is equal or better than a layer 2 switch with similar features; the difference is in the routing performance: his performance is a bit lower than a pure router (with the same features). This is because the main motherboard hardware of the L3 switches is built to be a high performance switch. The main motherboard hardware of the routers is built to execute routing tasks, so a router is better than a L3 switch in these tasks. To compare their routing software performance, just see their software routing features (L3 protocols, etc). The performance of a router is mainly measured by his routing hardware capacity, not by his routing software features because the software features are added just buying/installing/enabling a software license and/or changing the NOS (Network Operating System). You can compare their routing hardware performance (between a L3 switch and a Router), looking for the packet throughput (measured in pps (packets per second)) and the total BW throughput (in Gbps ) in each brochure/datasheet . The CRS312-4C+8XG-RM has a packet throughput of 178 Mpps (is called forwarding rate) and a BW throughput of 120 Gbps . The switching performance is measured by the switching throughput also called switching capacity, 240 Gbps for the CRS312-4C+8XG-RM => it is good as router and very good as high speed switch. L3 Switches are good " cheap" solution for small enterprises or SOHO networks, because they replace the router and switch functions, all in one box. If you really need more performance, then you go for a separate real router and a high speed L2 or L3 switch. **Q: Does this have the typical loud/jet engine fans in it?** A: The fans do "ramp up" when passing packets and it is noticeable. **Q: Is this a smart managed switch?** A: Yes it is **Q: Can this support vlans between 1 - 4094 like with cisco?** A: Yes, and lots of info online how to do this. Configuration can be complicated and I've not sorted it yet - but this is my operational setup so have to be cautious. Watch YouTube, buy routers by example and be careful ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ easy to setup 10g fully managed switch *by T***P on 31 August 2022* for the price would not turn back. easy to setup and can use out of the box as l2 switch. would suggest replacing the fans (will kill the warranty but will save your ears) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Starker 10G-Switch für Homelab und Profi-Netzwerke *by A***R on 28 December 2025* Der MikroTik CRS312-4C+8XG-RM ist ein richtig solides Arbeitstier. 8× 10GBase-T und 4× Combo-Ports bieten viel Flexibilität, gerade wenn Kupfer und SFP+ gemischt werden sollen.

Then I looked at Mikrotik, many ports , great reviews , but can I set it up? I went for Mikrotik and I don't regret. I am in Japan... My questions before purchase were answered instantly. The order was shipped from Latvia the day I ordered it and by Fedex!!! (shipping was only 40$). It arrived in no time, set-up by a real pro (Chris)that I founded on Fiverr, and finally a great switch at my office. Finally,the noise question: before setup I plugged it with my 10gbe NAS and 10gbe MacMini. Noise was very loud. After setup (and a firmware upgrade) the switch became very quiet. ## Frequently Bought Together - MikroTik CRS312-4C+8XG-RM – Network Switch L3, 10G, Ethernet (100/1000/10000), 1U, White - Noctua NF-A4x20 PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (40x20mm, Brown) - Noctua NF-A4x20 FLX Computer Case Fan - Computer Cooling Components (Computer Case, Fan, 4 cm, 3700 RPM, 5000 RPM, 4400 RPM) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/157873164-crs312-4c-8xg-rm-network-switch-l3-10g-ethernet-100](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/157873164-crs312-4c-8xg-rm-network-switch-l3-10g-ethernet-100) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
