MikroTik netPower Lite 7R kapcsoló

The MikroTik netPower Lite 7R is an outdoor-ready Gigabit Ethernet switch with 8 RJ-45 ports (10/100/1000) designed to deliver fiber-like speeds using Ethernet. Part of the GPEN concept, it enables ISPs to provide Internet to individual apartments without the cost of GPON base stations or optical splitters. The unit supports multiple power options and is housed in a durable casing suitable for damp attics, elevator shafts and pole mounting.

Advantages

netPower Lite 7R offers 7 reverse PoE ports that allow the switch to draw power from connected clients when needed, plus one port that can supply PoE to other devices at the applied input voltage. Additional powering options include a DC jack and a 2‑pin terminal. The switch provides non‑blocking throughput of 28 Gbps, a switching capacity of 56 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 41.7 Mpps, combining high performance with flexible powering and outdoor durability.

Suitable for

• ISPs delivering Internet to apartments and small buildings
• Outdoor or semi‑outdoor installations (attics, shafts, poles)
• Deployments requiring flexible PoE powering schemes

How to use

Install the netPower Lite 7R in a suitable outdoor or semi‑outdoor location using clamps or mounting brackets. Connect client devices to the Gigabit RJ‑45 ports. Provide input power via a compatible DC supply, the 2‑pin terminal, or allow the switch to draw power using reverse PoE from connected clients. If required, use Ethernet port 8 to power another PoE device at the same voltage applied to the switch. Configure network settings using the device management interface according to your ISP or site requirements.

Recommendations

For reliable long‑term operation in outdoor or exposed locations, use a regulated DC power source within the specified 12–57 V range, ensure proper sealing of cable entries, and follow local mounting and grounding practices.
