Price$168

The MikroTik netPower 15FR (CRS318-16G-2S+OUT) is a specialized outdoor switch designed to solve the biggest headache for ISPs: powering the distribution point. For providers in high-density areas of Lagos, Nairobi, and Johannesburg, or for outdoor deployments in Dubai where local power access is restricted, this switch allows the provider to draw power directly from the customers' premises.

  • 15 Reverse PoE Ports: 15 of the 16 Gigabit ports can receive power from customer injectors (PoE-in) to power the switch and an uplink device.
  • PoE-Out Capability: Port 15 can pass power to another device (like a MikroTik LHG or FiberBox) using the same voltage it receives.
  • 10G SFP+ Uplinks: Two 10Gbps SFP+ ports for high-speed fiber backhaul, ensuring zero bottlenecks for your clients.
  • Rugged IP Rating: Housed in a sturdy, weatherproof outdoor enclosure designed for pole or wall mounting in harsh environments.
  • GPEN Concept: Part of the Gigabit Passive Ethernet Network, designed to be a more cost-effective and flexible alternative to GPON.
  • Dual-Boot Versatility: Choose SwOS for simple switching or RouterOS for advanced Layer 3 traffic shaping and management.

The MikroTik netPower 15FR is built for reliability in "un-powered" locations. In the UAE, it is a niche powerhouse for outdoor installations where drawing local mains power is legally or logistically difficult. In Africa, it is a vital tool for community-based ISPs, allowing them to install the switch on a rooftop and have it powered by the subscribers' home injectors. As long as at least one customer has their power on, the switch remains operational. With its dual 10G SFP+ ports, you can bring in a high-speed fiber feed and distribute Gigabit speeds to 15 different apartments or houses. Its weatherproof design ensures it survives the intense humidity and heat of the Middle East and the heavy rains of tropical Africa.
