MikroTik CRS106-1C-5S – Compact Cloud Router Switch with 5 SFP Ports & Gigabit Combo Port – Smart Fiber Switch in a Compact Package

The MikroTik CRS106-1C-5S is part of MikroTik’s Cloud Router Switch series, engineered for users who need a cost-effective yet powerful solution for fiber-based networking. With five dedicated SFP ports and one Gigabit combo port (RJ45/SFP), this device is perfect for small ISPs, office networks, or labs that rely on fiber connectivity for speed, stability, and scalability.

Compact, fanless, and affordable, the CRS106 is an excellent entry-level switch for Layer 3 Lite networking with the flexibility of RouterOS.

Fiber-Focused Connectivity

Unlike most entry-level switches that focus on copper Ethernet ports, the CRS106-1C-5S is designed primarily for fiber networking environments. Its five dedicated SFP cages allow direct fiber uplinks for:

• Connecting distribution and access networks.

• Linking multiple buildings or remote sites.

• Handling high-speed, long-distance backhaul.

In addition, the combo port (RJ45/SFP) adds versatility, allowing you to choose between copper or fiber for your main uplink, depending on your network setup.

The CRS106 runs MikroTik’s RouterOS, giving administrators a feature-rich platform that transforms the switch into a Layer 3 Lite device. With RouterOS, you can:

• Configure VLANs for traffic segmentation.

• Enable static routing between subnets.

• Apply firewall rules for added security.

• Use QoS (Quality of Service) to prioritize critical traffic.

• Perform traffic monitoring and diagnostics.

This makes the MikroTik CRS106-1C-5S – Compact Cloud Router Switch with 5 SFP Ports & Gigabit Combo Port much more than a simple unmanaged switch — it’s a smart networking solution for advanced users and businesses.

Silent Fanless Cooling

One of the standout advantages of the CRS106-1C-5S is its fanless cooling system, which ensures quiet operation. This makes it a great choice for:

• Small offices

• Home labs

• Noise-sensitive environments

With no moving parts, the CRS106 is also more durable and energy-efficient, reducing long-term maintenance needs.
