MikroTik CSS610-8G-2S+IN 8-Port Gigabit 10G SFP+ Switch
MikroTik CSS610-8G-2S+IN is a compact Cloud Smart Switch designed for Gigabit Ethernet networks that require high-speed 10G fiber uplinks. It provides 8 × 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 × 10G SFP+ ports in a compact indoor chassis.
The switch runs SwOS Lite, MikroTik’s lightweight operating system designed specifically for CSS610 series switches. It provides web-based management with features including VLAN configuration, port isolation, link aggregation, traffic limiting, ACLs, port mirroring, RSTP and IGMP snooping.
8× Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The MikroTik CSS610-8G-2S+IN provides eight individual Gigabit Ethernet ports supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps connectivity.
These ports can connect computers, servers, IP phones, access points, printers, CCTV equipment, NAS devices and other Ethernet-based network equipment.

The eight Gigabit ports provide the access-side connectivity, while the two SFP+ ports can be used for higher-speed uplinks.
2× 10G SFP+ Uplink Ports
A major advantage of the CSS610-8G-2S+IN is its two 10G SFP+ ports. These interfaces can be used for fiber or compatible direct-attach/copper SFP+ connectivity.
This allows the switch to connect to a 10G aggregation switch, router, server, storage system or another high-speed network device.
For a small office or network cabinet, the combination of eight Gigabit access ports and two 10G uplinks provides a practical way to connect local devices while maintaining higher-capacity backbone connectivity.
28Gbps Non-Blocking Throughput
MikroTik specifies approximately 28 Gbps non-blocking throughput for the CSS610-8G-2S+IN.
The switch also provides approximately 56 Gbps switching capacity and 41.7 Mpps forwarding rate according to MikroTik’s published product specifications.

SwOS Lite Managed Switch
The MikroTik CSS610-8G-2S+IN uses SwOS Lite. It is specifically designed for administration of CSS610 series switches.
Configuration is performed through a web browser, making the switch relatively straightforward to manage without the full routing complexity of RouterOS.
Important: CSS610 series switches support SwOS Lite only. RouterOS is not supported on the CSS610-8G-2S+IN.
VLAN Support
The CSS610 supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN functionality through SwOS Lite. VLANs can be used to logically separate network traffic between different departments, users, CCTV systems, IP phones, guest networks and management infrastructure.
The CSS610 series supports up to 250 VLAN entries as limited by SwOS Lite.
Link Aggregation and LACP
The switch supports 802.3ad LACP as well as static link aggregation groups.
SwOS Lite supports up to 16 link aggregation groups, with up to eight member ports per group according to MikroTik’s current CSS610 series documentation.
Link aggregation can be useful when connecting compatible network equipment that requires increased aggregate bandwidth or link redundancy.
Port Isolation and Network Security
The CSS610 provides several Layer 2 management and security functions, including port isolation, port locking, broadcast storm control and ACL functionality.
The current SwOS Lite documentation lists up to 32 ACL rules, with classification based on port and L2/L3/L4 protocol header fields.
RSTP and Loop Prevention
The switch supports Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP). RSTP can help prevent Layer 2 network loops in appropriately designed redundant Ethernet topologies.
This is useful in managed networks where multiple switches or redundant connections are deployed.
IGMP Snooping
The MikroTik CSS610 supports IGMP snooping and unknown multicast filtering.
These features can help manage multicast traffic in networks where IPTV, video distribution or other multicast applications are deployed.
Jumbo Frames up to 10218 Bytes
For compatible network applications, the CSS610 series supports jumbo frames up to approximately 10218 bytes.
Jumbo frame configuration should be consistent across the relevant devices and network path for reliable operation.
Passive PoE-In
The CSS610-8G-2S+IN can be powered using passive PoE through its first Ethernet port.
MikroTik specifies a passive PoE input range of 12–57V DC. The device also includes a dedicated DC power jack supporting the same 12–57V DC range.
Important: this is PoE-in only. The CSS610-8G-2S+IN does not provide PoE-out to connected Ethernet devices.

Low Power Consumption
The CSS610-8G-2S+IN is designed as a low-power compact switch. MikroTik specifies approximately 5W maximum power consumption without attachments and up to 11W maximum consumption with attachments.
This makes the switch suitable for small network cabinets, office installations and deployments where power efficiency and compact hardware are important.
Compact Rackmount Design
The CSS610-8G-2S+IN measures approximately 200 × 167 × 46 mm.
Rack ears are included, allowing the switch to be installed in a suitable rackmount environment. It can also be deployed on a desktop or shelf where appropriate. MikroTik specifies the device for indoor installation.
Indoor Network Switch
The CSS610-8G-2S+IN is intended for indoor use. The official documentation specifies an IP20 enclosure and an operating temperature range of approximately 0°C to +60°C in the current quick guide.
The switch should be installed in a dry and ventilated location away from water, excessive humidity and unsuitable heat sources.
CSS610 for Small Business Networks
The combination of eight Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10G SFP+ uplinks makes the MikroTik CSS610 suitable for small and medium network deployments.
For example, computers, printers, access points and IP phones can use the eight Gigabit ports, while the SFP+ interfaces can connect the switch to a higher-speed core or aggregation switch.
CSS610 for CCTV Networks
The CSS610 can be used as a Gigabit aggregation switch in IP surveillance networks where cameras receive power from separate PoE switches or injectors.
Because the CSS610-8G-2S+IN has no PoE-out, it should not be positioned as a PoE CCTV switch. A separate PoE source is required for cameras that need Ethernet power.
CSS610 for Server and NAS Connectivity
The two 10G SFP+ ports can provide high-speed uplinks to compatible servers, NAS systems, storage equipment or upstream switches.
This makes the CSS610 useful in environments where most endpoints require Gigabit connectivity but one or two high-speed links are needed for backbone or storage traffic.
CSS610 vs CSS326
Both switches belong to MikroTik’s Cloud Smart Switch family, but their port density and operating system architecture differ.
