MikroTik netPower 16P Outdoor PoE Switch Features in Kenya

16 Gigabit PoE-out Ports

The netPower 16P provides 16 × 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE-out, allowing compatible network devices to receive both data connectivity and electrical power through Ethernet cabling.

IEEE 802.3af/at and Passive PoE Support

PoE-out support provides flexible powering for compatible access points, IP cameras and other network equipment, making the switch particularly useful for outdoor wireless and surveillance deployments.

Dual 10G SFP+ Fiber Uplinks

Two 10G SFP+ cages provide high-bandwidth fiber connectivity for network backbone links, aggregation switches and long-distance connections where conventional copper Ethernet may not be practical.

High-Speed Switching Performance

With up to 36 Gbps non-blocking throughput, 72 Gbps switching capacity and 53.6 Mpps forwarding rate, the switch can efficiently handle traffic generated by multiple connected network devices.

RouterOS and SwOS Support

Dual boot capability allows the netPower 16P to operate using MikroTik RouterOS or SwOS. This provides administrators with flexibility to select the operating environment appropriate for their network management requirements.

IP54 Outdoor Enclosure

The rugged IP54-rated enclosure provides protection against dust and water splashes, allowing the switch to be deployed in suitable outdoor environments without requiring a conventional indoor network cabinet.

Tower and Pole Installation

The enclosure is designed for convenient installation on towers, poles and masts, making the switch particularly suitable for wireless internet service providers, outdoor surveillance networks and distributed wireless infrastructure.

Flexible DC Power Input

The switch supports different DC input voltage ranges depending on required PoE output. This provides deployment flexibility when using compatible power supplies, battery systems or appropriately designed DC power infrastructure.

High PoE Output Capability

Maximum output current per Ethernet port can reach 1.1A with an 18–30V input or 0.6A with a 30–57V input, subject to the connected equipment, available power supply and overall PoE power requirements.

Passive Fanless Cooling

Passive cooling eliminates mechanical cooling fans, reducing noise and potential fan maintenance while supporting reliable operation in suitable outdoor and remote networking installations.

Environmental Monitoring

Integrated CPU temperature and voltage monitoring helps network administrators monitor important operating conditions, particularly useful for equipment installed in remote or difficult-to-access locations.
