The MikroTik CRS106-1C-5S is a compact and basic five-port managed switch, ideal for simple networking needs or as an entry-level device for learning RouterOS. Its port configuration consists of one combo port (RJ45 and SFP) and four additional 100 Mbps Ethernet ports, making it suitable for connecting older or lower-bandwidth devices. Housed in a small, passively cooled metal case, it operates silently and is powered by an external adapter. Running the full MikroTik RouterOS (not the simplified SwOS), it provides extensive configuration options for routing, bridging, VLANs, and firewall rules, offering a high degree of flexibility for its size and port speed. While its 100 Mbps ports limit its use in modern gigabit networks, it remains a useful tool for specific low-bandwidth applications or educational purposes.
