Mikrotik CRS504-4XQ-OUT 4-Ports QSFP28 Outdoor Fibre Switch

Product Description

The Mikrotik CRS504-4XQ-OUT is a powerful, managed switch engineered for high-speed networking in challenging outdoor environments. It features four 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) QSFP28 ports, providing exceptional bandwidth for demanding applications such as data center interconnects, high-performance computing clusters, or as an aggregation switch in large networks. The QSFP28 interface supports various speeds, including 100Gbps, 40Gbps, and can also be used with breakout cables for lower speeds, offering significant flexibility in network design. This switch is built with an outdoor-rated enclosure, making it resilient to harsh environmental conditions, including extreme temperatures, dust, and moisture. This rugged design ensures reliable operation in locations where standard indoor equipment would fail. The CRS504-4XQ-OUT offers a substantial switching capacity of 800 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 595 Mpps, ensuring that high volumes of traffic can be processed efficiently with low latency. It can be managed using either Mikrotik's feature-rich RouterOS or the simpler SwOS, providing administrators with versatile control over network functions. Powering the CRS504-4XQ-OUT can be achieved through Power over Ethernet (PoE) input (802.3af/at) or a DC power jack, offering flexibility in deployment. Its compact size and robust construction make it suitable for various outdoor installations, including pole mounting or integration into outdoor cabinets. This switch is an ideal solution for scenarios requiring high-speed, reliable network connectivity in exposed or remote locations, bridging the gap between high-performance networking and environmental resilience.
