MikroTik RB260GS CSS106-5G-1S 5-Port Gigabit Smart Switch with SFP Port

The RB260GS and CSS106-5G-1S are the exact same physical product – a small SOHO switch with 5 Gigabit ports and one SFP cage, running MikroTik's SwOS operating system. CSS106-5G-1S is the newer product code for the older RB260GS model. Both names are used interchangeably in the market and refer to the same device. The main difference is that the newer version (CSS106-5G-1S) uses firmware 2.x, while the older model uses firmware 1.x.

• Ideal for: small offices, SOHO, home use, and environments requiring PoE powering without additional injectors

• Fiber connectivity via SFP cage for uplink or longer-distance connections

• Powers IP cameras, VoIP phones, Access Points, and other PoE devices

• Advanced management via SwOS: VLAN, bandwidth limitation, port mirroring, MAC filtering

Important Note
This switch does NOT support 802.3af/at (standard PoE) – it uses Passive PoE and powers devices with the same voltage supplied to the switch (11-30 V).
