CRS812-8DS-2DQ-2DDQ-RM: affordable 400G leaf/core switch with RouterOS v7 and redundant design
The MikroTik CRS812-8DS-2DQ-2DDQ-RM is your gateway to next-generation networking — scaling from 10G to 50G, 200G, and 400G in a single, efficient, and fully managed chassis. Powered by a modern Marvell 98DX7335 switch chip and a quad-core 2.0 GHz ARM AL52400 CPU with 4 GB RAM and RouterOS v7 (License L6), it delivers advanced switching, routing, and traffic management trusted in millions of deployments. The port configuration includes 2× 10G Ethernet, 8× 50G SFP56, 2× 200G QSFP56, and 2× 400G QSFP56-DD, offering exceptional versatility and scalability. Dual hot-swappable power supplies, 4× hot-swap cooling fans, and extensive monitoring (CPU/PCB/voltage) ensure maximum uptime and reliability. With a maximum power draw of only 134 W and an IP20 enclosure, it’s designed to perform efficiently in any modern rack environment.
The CRS812 excels as a top-of-rack or leaf switch with 400G uplinks to the spine, as a campus core bridge connecting 10G legacy gear to modern 50G infrastructure, as a service provider aggregation node, or in labs, AI clusters, and media workflows where fast east-west traffic is critical. Featuring the full power of RouterOS v7 with Layer 2/3 management, ACLs, QoS, and VLAN support, it delivers enterprise-grade control at a fraction of the usual 400G cost. With dual AC inputs (100–240 V, 50/60 Hz), an RJ45 console port, and an operating temperature range of –10 to 50 °C, deployment and management are simple. The CRS812 brings 400 Gigabit networking within reach — a future-proof, affordable leap for your infrastructure without a forklift upgrade.
