MikroTik CSS326-24G-2S+RM – 24-Port Gigabit Switch with 2 SFP+ for SMB / Enterprise Networks

The MikroTik CSS326-24G-2S+RM is a managed 1U rackmount switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports and two SFP+ ports for fiber uplink at 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps, running SwOS — MikroTik's dedicated operating system for switches. It delivers wire-speed connectivity with a complete set of management features: port-to-port forwarding control, MAC filtering, VLAN configuration, traffic mirroring, bandwidth limitation, and MAC and IP header field adjustment — all accessible through a simple web interface without CLI expertise.

The SFP+ ports support both 1.25 Gbps SFP modules and 10 Gbps SFP+ modules — flexibility relevant for networks in transition where 10G uplink is needed but some connections remain at 1G. Twenty-four Gigabit Ethernet ports at wire speed cover complete distribution for a floor or small server room. Passive cooling and 19W power consumption without attached PoE devices maintain zero noise and high energy efficiency for office or server room environments sensitive to temperature and acoustics.

The 1U 443x144x44mm rackmount enclosure with included rack ears installs directly into any standard 19" rack. Dual power input via DC jack at 10-30V or passive PoE provides power redundancy or installation flexibility. SwOS is factory-activated and ready to use immediately after connection, with free lifetime software updates included. The tested operating range of -20°C to +70°C confirms stable performance across varied technical environments.

It is the right fit for medium and large offices needing a managed 24-port Gigabit switch with SFP/SFP+ uplink in rackmount format at an accessible price, for small server rooms where SFP+ 10G ports enable high-speed uplink to the core switch without replacing the distribution switch, for growing networks where mixed SFP/SFP+ support allows gradual uplink upgrades, and for administrators who prefer the straightforward SwOS interface over a full operating system for a standard distribution switch.
