FAQ

What type of cables can I use with the SFP+ ports?

The SFP+ ports support standard 10 Gbps SFP+ transceiver modules, allowing you to use either fiber optic cables (single‑mode or multimode) or DAC twin‑ax copper cables, depending on your network design.

Is the switch compatible with existing MikroTik RouterOS configurations?

Yes, the CRS310 runs RouterOS, enabling seamless integration with other MikroTik devices and allowing you to import existing configurations, scripts, and licensing.

Can I mount the switch in a wall‑mounted enclosure?

While the unit is designed for 19‑inch rack mounting, its compact dimensions and sturdy aluminum case make it suitable for wall‑mount kits that provide proper ventilation.

What is the warranty period for this product?

MikroTik offers a standard one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects, with options to purchase extended support plans.

How does the CRS310 handle power redundancy?

The switch includes a single 12 V DC input; for redundancy, you can use an external UPS or power‑over‑Ethernet (PoE) injector on one of the Ethernet ports to maintain operation during power interruptions.
