The MikroTik CRS812 DDQ is a high-performance cloud-router switch designed for next-generation network demands, packing ultra-high-speed ports and enterprise-grade features into a 1U rack form-factor. With two QSFP56-DD ports supporting up to 400 Gbps, two QSFP56 ports reaching up to 200 Gbps and eight SFP56 ports capable of up to 50 Gbps each, the CRS812 DDQ brings serious bandwidth for data-centres, service-provider aggregation or top-of-rack deployments.

It features a Marvell 98DX7335 switch chip and an Annapurna Labs AL52400 quad-core ARM64 CPU, ensuring that alongside its high-speed port architecture it offers the processing power needed for advanced routing, switching and monitoring workflows. Redundant power supplies and four hot-swap fan modules enhance reliability in demanding environments, while the robust design supports significant throughput without compromise.

Running on RouterOS v7, this switch provides full routing and switching capabilities, enabling configuration of VLANs, routing protocols, advanced QoS and other enterprise features. For organisations looking to migrate from legacy 10G or 25G gear to a higher-speed backbone, the CRS812 DDQ delivers a cost-effective bridge to 50G, 200G and 400G connectivity without requiring a full infrastructure overhaul.

In practical deployment it’s ideally suited for network cores, campus spine or service provider aggregation layers where throughput, port density and future-proofing matter. The switch offers managed flexibility, high port variety and serious capacity in a compact footprint, making it a powerful option for forward-looking infrastructures.
