MikroTik CRS106-1C-5S Smart Switch with 5 SFP Ports and Gigabit Combo Port
The MikroTik CRS106-1C-5S is a compact desktop Cloud Router Switch designed for fiber-focused network deployments. It features five 1.25G SFP cages and one Gigabit Ethernet / SFP combo port, allowing up to six SFP-based connections in a small and efficient form factor.
Powered by a 400 MHz QCA8511 CPU with 128 MB RAM, the CRS106-1C-5S runs MikroTik RouterOS with a Level 5 license. This gives administrators access to managed switching features, monitoring tools, VLAN configuration, traffic control, and RouterOS network management in a compact fiber switch.
The CRS106-1C-5S is ideal for small offices, ISP edge networks, fiber aggregation, building-to-building links, and installations where multiple SFP fiber connections are required without deploying a large rackmount switch. It supports 11–30V DC input and passive PoE-in, giving installers flexible powering options.

Compact Fiber Switching
The CRS106-1C-5S is designed for networks that need multiple SFP fiber connections in a small desktop-sized device. Its five dedicated SFP cages and one combo port make it a practical option for fiber uplinks, media conversion, small aggregation points, and provider edge deployments.
RouterOS Management
Running MikroTik RouterOS, this switch offers more control than a basic unmanaged fiber switch. Administrators can configure VLANs, monitor ports, manage traffic, apply network policies, and integrate the device into existing MikroTik environments.
Flexible Power Options
The CRS106-1C-5S can be powered through the DC jack or passive PoE-in, supporting an input range from 11V to 30V. This flexibility makes it easier to install in small cabinets, remote locations, and compact network setups.
Ideal Applications
- Small fiber aggregation networks
- ISP and WISP edge deployments
- Building-to-building fiber links
- Office and home lab fiber switching
- Fiber media distribution points
- MikroTik RouterOS-managed networks
