The MikroTik RB260GSP (CSS106-1G-4P-1S) is a compact SOHO smart switch featuring power output capability on its Ethernet ports. Equipped with five Gigabit Ethernet ports and a single SFP cage port, this device runs on MikroTik’s custom SwOS operating system, allowing management of VLANs, port forwarding, bandwidth limitation, and traffic mirroring directly from a web browser. Ports 2 through 5 support passive PoE output to power compatible remote gear using the same voltage supplied to the switch.
