## Overview

The Mikrotik CRS520-4XS-16XQ-RM is a high-performance enterprise switch featuring a 2 GHz quad-core ARM CPU, 4 GB DDR4 RAM, and a versatile port array including 16x 100Gb QSFP28, 4x 25Gb SFP28, and 2x 2.5Gb Ethernet ports.

## Description

Welcome to the forefront of networking: the future-proof CRS520-4XS-16XQ-RM with extra processing power, 4 GB of DDR4 RAM, and the best price per 100 Gigabit port we’ve seen so far. With 16x 100 Gigabit QSFP28 ports, 4x 25 Gigabit SFP28 ports, and an extra pair of 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, this switch can bring a lot of value to complicated enterprise networks, data centers, multimedia studios, and other setups where you would typically use several devices. Now – a single CRS520 can do the trick! Avid CCR users might recognize the powerful quad-core ARM CPU running at 2 GHz, and ask – why would a switch need all that power? Two reasons: 1) CRS520 is more than a switch. You can run OSPF/BGP, out-of-band/management VPNs, ACLs, Jumbo frames and even L3HW Offloaded routing; 2) Future-proofing: as our friends at Marvell keep expanding the capabilities of their spectacular switch-chips, our in-house software team is busy exploring ways to add even more Hardware Offloaded features. You can expect software updates that will take the CRS520 to the next level! And all that without any paywalls or subscriptions.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast, reliable, powerful, low power, quiet 100g ethernet switch, finally
*by R***0 on July 30, 2025*

Switch is super quiet and low power compared to my other 100g ethernet switches. Its so quiet that I'm able to put this in my office, hearing only a soft hum. Connects well with my Arista DCS-7060CX-32S and DCS-7160-32S switches, requiring FEC to be set to fec91. Speed is auto-negotiated without a problem. Also works well with low cost Intel 100G CWDM4 QSFP28 Transceivers. Prior to this switch, mostly QNAP offered quiet 100g switches with limited features. This switch offers additional powerful features like RoCE support. I plan on buying additional units soon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast, configurable switch
*by C***S on December 1, 2024*

This thing is a beast. It does everything I need really well. There is a steep learning curve if you are new to this, but it is worth it. Speeds are fantastic, as is the flexibility of configuration, all with low power consumption and low noise.Update 12/11/2024: There appears to be an issue with establishing 2.5gb connectivity on Ether 1 and Ether 2. The negotiation falls back to 1gb/s.
