This 16-port 25G SFP28 switch, augmented by 2× 100G QSFP28 uplink ports, delivers the throughput and redundancy required in modern enterprise spine-and-leaf topologies.

Built by MikroTik on the proven CRS518 platform, the CRS518-16XS-2XQ-RM is engineered for demanding production environments. Network architects can confidently deploy this switch across high-availability clusters, cloud infrastructure nodes, and multi-tenant data centers where uptime and performance are non-negotiable.

Typical Enterprise Deployments

• Data center spine layer with 25G leaf connectivity and dual 100G uplinks to core infrastructure
• High-performance computing (HPC) cluster interconnect, leveraging 16 ports for compute node networking
• Multi-tenant colocation switching, supporting per-tenant 25G SFP28 isolation with consolidated 100G QSFP28 backhaul
• Cloud-native edge locations requiring compact, redundant switching in 1U or 2U rack space
• Storage area network (SAN) aggregation point, bridging NVMe arrays with 25G and 100G fabric tiers
