## Overview

The MikroTik RB260GS (CSS106-5G-1S) is a compact, fanless SOHO managed switch featuring 5 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 1 SFP cage powered by an Atheros chip. It runs MikroTik’s SwOS for easy browser-based management including VLANs, MAC filtering, and bandwidth control. Supporting passive PoE input (11-30V) and designed for reliable operation up to 70°C, it’s ideal for professionals seeking robust, flexible networking in a sleek, silent package.

## Description

The RB260GS is a small SOHO switch. It has five Gigabit Ethernet ports and one SFP cage powered by an Atheros Switch Chip. Tested and recommended to use with MikroTik SFP modules: S-85DLC05D, S-31DLC20D and S-3553LC20D (not included) It is powered by an operating system designed specifically for MikroTik Switch products - SwOS. SwOS is configurable from your web browser. It gives you all the basic functionality for a managed switch, plus more: Allows to manage port-to-port forwarding, apply MAC filter, configure VLANs, mirror traffic, apply bandwidth limitation and even adjust some MAC and IP header fields. Note: US Power Adapter is included!

Review: Easy to use lots of features - Mikrotik makes some the best bang for your buck network gear out there. I needed another one of these and it does what I need. It's got 1 PoE, port, 4 more RJ45 1GBE ports, and then a SFP port in the back. The SFP port accepts pretty much anything. I put in a generic 1GB RJ45 transceiver and it works great. It also means all 5 ports on the front are usable for devices. The SWOS software is easy to use. Lets you do VLANs, or any other management option you want. It's lightweight once setup, easy to connect to and monitor with the Mikrotik WinBox64 software you can get off their website. It will find the Mikrotik switches on your network once they are setup correctly. No issues, easy setup and works in silence with no fan.
Review: Great little switch! - Bought this after deciding to re-terminate the phone lines in my house (used Cat5E) from RJ11 to RJ45 to provide wired gigabit ethernet around the house. Picked this particular unit because it had a wider operating temperature range than most other switches, could be powered by PoE, and was cheap. It's in a weatherproof enclosure mounted on an outside wall powered with a passive PoE adapter. Been running since November with no issues whatsoever. Speed tests show full gigabit transfer speeds and <1ms latency times. 10/24/16 Update: It's been almost two years since I stuck it in its enclosed box where it's seen temperatures from single digits in the winter to 115 in the summer and not a single hiccup. The only restarts this thing has experienced have been for firmware updates or when I've been messing with the upstream POE switch that powers it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spend the extra $10 and buy this over any of the crap switches.
*by N***. on September 6, 2015*

Been working with this a few days. I am really amazed at the power of this switch, thank you Mikrotik for filling the niche at this price point. ------------- For those who are less tech savvy: 1) This works out of the box 2) It is better to configure it for the IP range you want to use The instructions are dirt simple, and there are paper instructions included (basically: connect a computer to it, assign static any on the IP range: 192.168.88.xxx and then connect to the 192.168.88.1 web interface) 3) In terms of whether it is too technical to actually use any of the features: If you have never set a static IP before, it is not hard, but it might be overkill. Though having it work reliably out of the box still applies. In comparison with other cheap switches, with this one there are VERY high chances of it working at the time of delivery, it is incredibly fast, has many options, nerds approve of it (just look at the other reviews for their products and this one), the company is great to work with, and you can sleep well at night knowing you are supporting the making of the BEST in class products. Don't you always complain you need to sleep more soundly? Your kids and wife will probably thank you for buying it since you'll be more well rested, and ask you for the secret! Where am I going with this? oh yeah, the Mikrotik switch. In short: good ------------- For those who are more tech savvy: Yeah right, like I need to give you any advice, you already know what is up. PS: I have no association with Mikrotik, their nerd network tech building skills just impressed me so much, I couldn't help but fall in love with the products.
