MikroTik RB260GSP 5-Port Gigabit PoE Smart Switch SFP

The MikroTik CSS106-1G-4P-1S (RB260GSP) is a compact SOHO-class managed smart switch designed for small office and home office network deployments where both switching performance and passive Power over Ethernet output are required in a single, passively cooled unit. The device delivers five Gigabit Ethernet ports and one SFP fiber cage, with switching handled by a Qualcomm Atheros QCA8337 switch chip. Ports 2 through 5 support passive PoE output over data lines, passing through the same voltage supplied to the unit, enabling cost-effective powering of compatible passive PoE devices without additional injectors. The switch runs MikroTik SwOS, an operating system purpose-built for MikroTik switch products, providing a streamlined web-based management interface suited to network administrators who need reliable Layer 2 control without the full complexity of RouterOS. On-board PCB temperature and voltage monitoring contribute to long-term reliability tracking, and the unit carries CE, EAC, and RoHS certifications.

Key features & benefits

• Five Gigabit Ethernet Ports Plus One SFP Cage — All five copper ports operate at 10/100/1000 Mbps, while the dedicated SFP cage with DDMI support allows integration of fiber uplinks or longer-distance links, giving installers flexibility in network topology design.
• Passive PoE Output on Ports 2–5 — Ethernet ports 2 through 5 deliver passive PoE over data lines at the same voltage applied to the switch (11–30 V DC), with a maximum output of 1 A per port and 2 A total, enabling direct powering of compatible passive PoE devices without separate injectors.
• Dual DC Input Options — The switch accepts power via a DC barrel jack or a passive PoE-IN input, both rated for 11–30 V DC, offering installation flexibility and redundant powering paths in varied deployment environments.
• QCA8337 Atheros Switch Chip — The Qualcomm Atheros QCA8337 provides the hardware switching fabric, delivering reliable wire-speed Gigabit switching performance appropriate for demanding small-office environments.
• MikroTik SwOS Operating System — SwOS is purpose-designed for MikroTik switch products and provides a focused, efficient management interface for VLAN configuration, port mirroring, bandwidth monitoring, and other Layer 2 functions without unnecessary overhead.
• Passive Cooling and Compact Form Factor — At 113 × 139 × 28 mm with fully passive cooling, the CSS106-1G-4P-1S generates no fan noise and is well suited for quiet office environments, small server closets, or desktop deployments where space is at a premium.
• On-Board PCB Temperature and Voltage Monitoring — Integrated monitoring of board temperature and input voltage allows administrators to track operating conditions over time, supporting proactive maintenance and long-term hardware reliability assessment.
• CE, EAC, and RoHS Certified — Industry-standard certifications confirm compliance with European electromagnetic compatibility and safety directives as well as restriction-of-hazardous-substances requirements, simplifying procurement for regulated environments.
