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. Klare Empfehlung für Homelab und kleine bis mittlere Profi-Setups. Review: Great Router/Switch - I really needed a 8 ports 10gbe Switch, was looking at Netgear: easy set-up but too many quality trouble for the high pricing... 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. ## Features - CRS312-4C+8XG-RM Mikrotik first product with 10G RJ45 Ethernet ports. It has 4 x 10G combo ports: use them for 10G RJ45 Ethernet or 10G SFP+, when you need an additional fiber connection - Combo ports can be used alongside the 8 regular 10G RJ45 Ethernet ports at all times. These ports can also be software selected, so you can use RouterOS scripting, to decide which combo ports will be active - CRS312-4C+8XG-RM switch is a practical solution for those who work with huge data files and need fast, capable connection 24/7: multimedia production, scientific research, game development, big data ysis and so on ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07VS1XJZ6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #16,909 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #308 in Routers | | Brand | Mikrotik | | Built-In Media | Rack mount screws, power cord | | Case Material Type | Metal | | Color | White | | Colour | White | | Compatible Devices | Devices with Ethernet ports | | Compatible devices | Devices with Ethernet ports | | Country of Origin | Latvia | | Current Rating | 1 Amps | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 81 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 12 Gigabits Per Second | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 2 Years | | Included components | Rack mount screws, power cord | | Interface | Gigabit Ethernet, SFP+ | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 44.3L x 18.3W x 4.4H centimeters | | Item Weight | 2.3 Kilograms | | Lower Temperature Rating | 1 Degrees Celsius | | Manufacturer | MikroTik | | Mfr Part Number | CRS312-4C8XG-RM | | Model Number | CRS312-4C8XG-RM | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 12 | | Number of ports | 12 | | Product dimensions | 44.3L x 18.3W x 4.4H centimeters | | Switch Type | managed | | UPC | 600168150205 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 70 Degrees Celsius | | Voltage | 220 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Mikrotik - **Colour:** White - **Compatible devices:** Devices with Ethernet ports - **Included components:** Rack mount screws, power cord - **Number of ports:** 12 ## Images ![MikroTik 12-Port 10G Switch with Dual Power Supply (CRS312-4C+8XG-RM) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61R8AvXMJbL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this a router and switch? 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
