MikroTik CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM 48-Port PoE Switch | 48× Gigabit, 4× 10G SFP+, 2× 40G QSFP+, 700W PoE

MikroTik CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM 48-Port PoE Switch

MikroTik CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM is a high-density rackmount managed Ethernet switch designed for enterprise networks, surveillance deployments, wireless infrastructure, VoIP, access control and other installations that require a large number of Gigabit Ethernet connections with PoE capability. It combines 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE-out, 4× 10G SFP+ ports and 2× 40G QSFP+ ports in a 1U rackmount chassis.

The switch supports 802.3af/at PoE as well as passive PoE output on all 48 Ethernet ports, allowing compatible access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones and other powered devices to receive both network connectivity and power from the same switch. The integrated power system provides up to 700W total PoE output under the manufacturer’s specified operating conditions.

48 Gigabit Ethernet Ports with PoE-Out

The CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM provides 48× 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports. All 48 Ethernet ports support PoE-out, giving network administrators a convenient way to connect and power multiple devices without requiring separate power adapters or injectors for every endpoint.

Supported PoE options include IEEE 802.3af/at and passive PoE. The manufacturer specifies a total PoE output capability of up to 700W. Depending on the selected output voltage, the switch supports up to 27A at 26V or 13.2A at 53V, while the per-port current limits are specified separately for low- and high-voltage operation.

This makes the switch suitable for deployments with multiple PoE access points, IP surveillance cameras, VoIP phones, wireless bridges and other compatible powered Ethernet devices.

4× 10G SFP+ and 2× 40G QSFP+ Uplinks

For high-speed network aggregation, the CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM includes 4× 10G SFP+ ports and 2× 40G QSFP+ ports. These interfaces can be used for fiber uplinks, server connectivity, switch-to-switch links and high-bandwidth network aggregation.

The combination of Gigabit access ports, 10 Gigabit SFP+ interfaces and 40 Gigabit QSFP+ interfaces allows the CRS354 to serve as an access and aggregation switch in larger network environments.

168 Gbps Non-Blocking Throughput

The CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM uses the Marvell 98DX3257 switch chip and provides a published non-blocking Layer 1 throughput of approximately 168 Gbps, with a switching capacity of approximately 336 Gbps under MikroTik’s specified test conditions.

These figures represent manufacturer test results and should not be interpreted as guaranteed application throughput. Actual network performance depends on packet size, traffic patterns, configuration, connected devices and enabled features.

RouterOS v7 and SwOS Dual Boot

One of the important features of the CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM is its dual-boot operating system support. The switch can run RouterOS v7 or SwOS, allowing administrators to choose the software environment that best matches their network requirements.

RouterOS provides advanced MikroTik networking capabilities and management options, while SwOS provides a switch-focused management environment. The device is supplied with a RouterOS Level 5 license.

Designed for Enterprise and High-Density Networks

With 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and multiple high-speed uplinks, the CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM is suitable for high-density network installations where many endpoints need to be connected within a single rack.

• Enterprise Ethernet access networks
• IP CCTV and surveillance networks
• Wireless access point deployments
• VoIP telephone systems
• Campus and office networks
• ISP and WISP infrastructure
• Server and network aggregation
• Data-intensive LAN environments
• Network cabinets requiring centralized PoE
• High-density Gigabit access switching

700W PoE Capacity for Large Deployments

The integrated high-capacity power system is one of the defining characteristics of the CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM. MikroTik specifies up to 700W total PoE output, allowing a large number of compatible powered devices to be connected to the same switch.

For installations involving many cameras or wireless access points, the available PoE budget should always be compared against the actual power requirements of the connected devices. The maximum PoE budget does not mean that every port can simultaneously deliver the maximum possible power.

Hardware Specifications

CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM for CCTV Networks

The large number of PoE-enabled Gigabit ports makes the CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM suitable for centralized IP surveillance networks. Compatible PoE cameras can be connected directly to the Ethernet ports, while the 10G and 40G interfaces can be used for high-bandwidth uplinks toward servers, NVR infrastructure or network aggregation equipment.

For CCTV deployments, the actual PoE requirement and uplink bandwidth should be calculated according to the camera count, resolution, encoding settings, storage architecture and network design.

CRS354 for WiFi Access Point Deployments

The switch can also be used as a centralized PoE access switch for wireless networks. Multiple compatible access points can receive network connectivity and power over Ethernet, reducing the need for individual power supplies at each AP location.

For larger wireless deployments, the 10G SFP+ and 40G QSFP+ interfaces can provide higher-bandwidth uplinks toward aggregation or core networking equipment.

Rackmount Enterprise Design

The CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM uses a standard rackmount form factor measuring 443 × 382 × 44 mm. It is designed for installation in professional network racks and includes rackmount hardware and cable-management accessories.

The unit uses active cooling with four fans. MikroTik specifies an operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C.
