The MikroTik netPower 15FR (CRS318-1Fi-15Fr-2S-OUT) is a Cloud Router Switch in an outdoor enclosure. It is part of the GPEN concept, which brings fiber-style speed to Ethernet networks. It is meant for delivering Internet to individual apartments without GPON base stations or optical splitters.
The switch has 15 reverse PoE ports, so it can draw its power from the connected clients, even from a single one. Ethernet port 15 can also power other PoE-capable devices at the same voltage applied to the unit. Two SFP ports provide fiber connectivity. The enclosure allows installation in places such as damp attics, elevator shafts and poles with hose clamps.
The switch has a non-blocking throughput of 3.6 Gbps, a switching capacity of 7.2 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 5.4 Mpps. It runs SwOS or RouterOS in a dual-boot setup. The power supply is not included.
