MikroTik RB260GSP CSS106-1G-4P-1S Gigabit PoE Switch with SFP Port

The MikroTik RB260GSP (CSS106-1G-4P-1S) is a compact yet powerful Gigabit Ethernet smart switch designed for small businesses, CCTV installations, wireless ISP deployments, and enterprise edge networks. Combining Gigabit connectivity, fiber expansion capability, and Power over Ethernet functionality, the RB260GSP delivers exceptional value for network administrators seeking reliable and affordable switching solutions.

Featuring five Gigabit Ethernet ports and one dedicated SFP cage, the RB260GSP enables seamless integration of both copper and fiber network infrastructures. The SFP port allows direct connection to fiber optic backbones, helping extend network distances while maintaining high-speed connectivity.

One of the key advantages of the RB260GSP is its Passive PoE Output functionality. Ethernet ports 2 through 5 can provide power to compatible devices using the same voltage supplied to the switch. This eliminates the need for separate power adapters and simplifies installations for devices such as:

• Wireless Access Points
• IP Cameras
• VoIP Phones
• Wireless Bridges
• MikroTik Radios
• Network Monitoring Devices

The switch is powered by the reliable Qualcomm Atheros QCA8337 switching chipset, delivering stable Gigabit performance across all ports. Whether managing CCTV video traffic, office data, or wireless backhaul connections, the RB260GSP provides dependable switching capabilities.

Unlike traditional unmanaged switches, the RB260GSP runs MikroTik SwOS, a lightweight operating system specifically developed for MikroTik switch products. SwOS provides an intuitive browser-based interface for configuration and management without requiring advanced networking knowledge.

Key SwOS features include:

• VLAN Configuration
• Port Isolation
• Traffic Mirroring
• Bandwidth Limiting
• Access Control Lists (ACL)
• Network Monitoring
• Link Aggregation
• Broadcast Storm Control

The compact desktop design makes the RB260GSP ideal for office desks, network cabinets, CCTV installations, retail stores, schools, and small data rooms. Its passive cooling system ensures silent operation and long-term reliability with no moving parts.

The device supports both DC power input and Passive PoE input, offering flexible deployment options in various network environments. With a maximum PoE output budget of 2A across ports 2 to 5, it can efficiently power multiple connected devices.

For businesses looking to deploy a cost-effective managed Gigabit switch with fiber connectivity and PoE functionality, the MikroTik RB260GSP remains one of the most popular and trusted solutions available.
