MikroTik CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM 48-port POE Gigabit Layer 3 Management Fiber Optic Switch 300Mbps 802.11n

MikroTik CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM Overview

The “54” in CRS354 means that there are a total of 54 ports. The rest of the model tells us that there are 48x 1GbE PoE (48P), 4x SFP+ (4S+), and 2x QSFP+ (2Q+) ports and that this is a rackmount form factor (RM.)

We are going to take a look at the switch from an external perspective before moving to the internal view. We are intentionally keeping this review very similar to the non-PoE version so our readers can do a comparison.

This powerful switch has 48 x 1G RJ45 ports and 4 x 10G SFP+ ports. There are also 2 x 40G QSFP+ ports for extremely fast fiber connections or linking with other 40 Gbps devices. All 48 Ethernet ports offer different power output options: Passive PoE, low voltage PoE, 802.3af/at (Type 1 “PoE” / Type 2 “PoE+”) with auto-sensing, making this switch the easiest solution to power even the largest setups. Mikrotik have included a mighty power supply that can provide 750 W of power – this switch can handle a lot. And there is a special bracket for easy cable management.

CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM is extremely functional, and it has the best price-point on the market – it will make the perfect addition to a professional setup.

The total non-blocking throughput is 168 Gbps, switching capacity is 336 Gbps and the forwarding rate reaches 235 Mpps.

MikroTik CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM External Overview

From the outside, the switch looks, fairly similar to the 48G model with a few notable changes that may not be obvious from the stock photography on MikroTik’s website.

MikroTik CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM Features

The headline feature of this switch are the 48x 1GbE and PoE enabled ports. These ports support PoE and PoE+ (802.3at/af) along with passive PoE, and low voltage PoE. This is a newer breed of PoE switches designed to handle higher-power devices so we can get up to 26-30W of power per device. For older legacy PoE devices, this switch still has support. You can read more about PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ switches in our Key Differences of PoE vs PoE+ vs PoE++ Switches: A STH Guide piece.

The other big headline feature is the high-speed networking. One gets four SFP+ 10GbE ports along with two QSFP+ 40GbE ports. You can see in this photo that we do get even individual activity lights for each of the 10G sets of those 40GbE links so you can use breakout cables and still see activity lights.
