MikroTik netPower 16P | The High-Power Outdoor PoE Distribution Switch
Price$278
The MikroTik netPower 16P (CRS318-16P-2S+OUT) is the powerhouse sibling of the netPower series. While other models focus on receiving power, the 16P is designed to deliver it. For high-end surveillance projects in Dubai’s industrial zones or large-scale wireless deployments across Africa, this switch acts as a rugged, outdoor power station, providing PoE to an entire array of cameras and access points from a single location.
- 16 Gigabit PoE-Out Ports: All 16 Ethernet ports offer PoE-out, supporting both Passive PoE and 802.3af/at (Type 1 & 2).
- 10G SFP+ Uplinks: Two 10Gbps SFP+ ports for high-capacity fiber backhaul, perfect for handling 4K video streams or high-speed data.
- Extreme Durability: Housed in a heavy-duty, weatherproof IP enclosure designed to withstand the harsh UV of the Middle East and tropical storms.
- Dual Boot OS: Flexible management with SwOS for fast switching or RouterOS for complex L3 routing, VLANs, and traffic shaping.
- Non-Blocking Throughput: A switching capacity of 72 Gbps ensures that all 16 ports can run at full speed simultaneously.
- Flexible Power Input: Features two DC jacks (one for 18-30V and one for 48-57V) to accommodate different PoE voltage requirements.

The MikroTik netPower 16P is engineered to simplify complex outdoor installations. In the UAE’s smart-city and security sectors, it is used to power dozens of high-definition IP cameras around perimeters without needing multiple indoor switches. For African ISPs, it is a robust solution for powering a "tower in a box," providing juice to multiple sector antennas and backhaul radios from one weatherproof unit.
What makes the netPower 16P stand out is its power flexibility. By connecting different power supplies, you can mix and match the PoE output to suit your devices—whether they need low-voltage Passive PoE or high-voltage 802.3at. It eliminates the need for messy outdoor cabinets filled with injectors, providing a clean, professional, and centrally managed power hub.

Where to Use This Product
1. Perimeter IP Surveillance
The perfect core for large-scale security at Dubai World Central or Jebel Ali Free Zone. Power 16 high-end PTZ cameras along a fence line and send the data back via 10G fiber.
2. WISP Base Station Aggregation
Ideal for wireless providers in Nairobi or Lagos. Use it at the top of a tower to power multiple MikroTik MantBox or BaseBox units, keeping the installation tidy and reducing the risk of cable failure.
3. Outdoor Event & Public WiFi
Perfect for resorts in Abu Dhabi or the Seychelles. Deploy high-speed WiFi 6 APs across large outdoor areas, ensuring every guest has high-speed coverage through the 10G backhaul.
4. Industrial Site Networking
A reliable choice for mines, oil rigs, or construction sites in Saudi Arabia or South Africa, where standard networking gear would fail due to dust, heat, and moisture.
