MikroTik netPower 15 PoE input 1 PoE output 2 SFP GPEN Switch
The MikroTik netPower 15FR is an outdoor 18-port managed switch designed for MikroTik's GPEN networking concept and cost-effective last-mile Ethernet deployments. It combines sixteen 10/100Mbps Ethernet interfaces with two Gigabit SFP fibre ports and provides reverse PoE capability across fifteen Ethernet ports, allowing the switch to receive power from connected client locations. With an IP54 outdoor enclosure, dual RouterOS/SwitchOS operation and flexible fibre uplinks, the netPower 15FR is particularly well suited to ISP, apartment building and distributed Ethernet installations.
Key Features
- Outdoor 18-port managed Cloud Router Switch.
- 16 × 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports.
- 2 × 1G SFP fibre ports.
- 15 × reverse passive PoE input ports.
- Passive PoE output available on Ether15.
- 3.6Gbps non-blocking throughput.
- 7.2Gbps switching capacity and 5.4Mpps forwarding rate.
- Dual-core 800MHz ARM processor with 256MB RAM.
- Dual-boot RouterOS and SwitchOS operation.
- IP54-rated outdoor enclosure with passive cooling.
Designed for GPEN Deployments
The netPower 15FR forms part of MikroTik's GPEN concept, providing an Ethernet-based alternative for delivering network connectivity to individual apartments and other distributed client locations. Its combination of copper access ports and fibre uplinks makes it particularly useful for ISP and multi-dwelling deployments.
15-Port Reverse PoE
The switch can receive passive PoE power through fifteen of its Ethernet ports, allowing power to be supplied from connected client locations rather than requiring a conventional mains power source at the switch installation point. Depending on the network configuration, the device can operate using power supplied from even a single client connection.
Passive PoE Output
Ether15 can provide passive PoE output using the same voltage applied to the switch, allowing a compatible PoE-powered device to receive power directly from the netPower 15FR. The available PoE output depends on the input voltage and power source used.
Dual Fibre Uplinks
Two 1G SFP interfaces provide fibre connectivity for linking the switch to upstream network infrastructure. This allows fibre to be used for the backbone while Ethernet connections are distributed to individual clients.
Outdoor-Ready Enclosure
The IP54-rated enclosure is designed for outdoor and demanding installation environments such as poles, utility areas, damp attics and elevator shafts. Passive cooling eliminates the need for internal cooling fans, while the device is tested for operation in ambient temperatures from -40°C to +70°C.
