Mikrotik - CRS504-4XQ-IN - Cloud Router Switch 504-4XQ-IN
Your most affordable, compact, energy-efficient doorway to the world of 100 Gigabit networking. This switch is the next step in upgrading existing 10 or 25 Gigabit networks. Multiple powering options, dual hot-swap power supplies.
Our 100 Gigabit family continues to expand: you've already seen the amazing 100 Gigabit CCR2216 router. Now it's time for a matching switch: the CRS504-4XQ-IN. The small size combined with the low power consumption (25 W without accessories!) is perfect to start expanding the 100 Gigabit network in everyday configurations. This speed is no longer limited to data centres, ISPs and large offices - you too can upgrade your 10 or 25 Gigabit network and join the 100 Gigabit club!

There are four 100 Gigabit QSFP28 ports. Use them to connect other 100 Gigabit devices, or take one patch cable to connect multiple 25 Gigabit devices: each port is connected to four 25 Gigabit lines, allowing you to connect 16 25 Gigabit devices. In fact, you can mix and match all kinds of connections this way: 100 Gigabits on one port, 40 Gigabits on the other, 4x25 Gigabits on the third, and maybe even some 10G or 1G cables on the fourth.
Obviously, there is an Ethernet port for management purposes as well.
Mikrotik has been using this switch for quite some time in the Genomics Data Network project. A high-capacity data network for its local scientists working on innovative cancer treatments. Genome data can take up a lot of space, so it needs exceptionally fast connections there. Moreover, with these devices, Latvia became the first Baltic country to establish a 100 Gigabit connection to the pan-European research network.
With multiple powering options and the ability to be mounted on the wall, this switch will make any system administrator happy.
