There are tons of Gigabit PoE manageable switches on internet but still Mikrotik has none. (Except in MUM Ljublana)
Ubq has realised EdgePoint Gigabit PoE Router, nice made and very practical but most of us 70-90% of equipment is mikrotik so in my interest its best to use Mikrotik made PoE Routerboard, its Q2 2016 there is no offer yet...

hEX PoE is on the way. Other unannounced models also incoming.

Other unannounced models also incoming.

Please be CRS with ARM IPQ and 802.3af PoE out

Please be CRS with ARM IPQ and 802.3af PoE out

Please, whatever it is. With more than 4 PoE out ports

POE to my WAPs would be great!!!

I need at least 3 PoE out.

I don't know if dumb is enough.

I need at least 3 PoE out.

There's RB260GSP if 3 ports is all you really need.

No, my next router should support ac, 1Gbps WAN and SFP at the bare minimum, 10x gigabit in one switch, and 128MB flash too. 4x 10GbE would be better.

And Whats about new Omnitik with AC and 4 Gigabit POE?

Mikrotik sells Gigabit SXT since 4 years, but the devices around Are still missing

Why? End of June is still Q2

THIS!.... POE > 4 ports with ROS instead of SOS

Hi,

Mikrotik every time i remember exceed the release Date....
I belve Q2-16 when i have one in my hand.

mistrty7

2 weeks left....

11 days left for release....
@normis will we see Omnitik AC in June?

11 days left for release....
@normis will we see Omnitik AC in June?

Will see in 11 days.
One thing to think of- the nearest MUM seems to be scheduled for September.

And one Werk left.......

Normis your Comment?

2 Days left.....

@Normis im waiting for you comment...

last day..... and Q2-16 is gone....

Still no news....  

Hi normis,

Whats about this deel, we get one Dolar Discount for the First Omnitik AC WE get for every Day
it arrives After 01.07.2016?

Mistry7

Normis, please write someting. Not only Mistry7 is waiting for routerboard with gigabit poe.

Hi Lukasz,

normal the Delay between Mikrotik available and you got it in your Hand is 3-4 Month!
I hope they will learn that, and  give better release dates to costumers.

mistry7

Welcome to august......

Not this year mikrotik?

any news?

Before a product goes on sale, there are multiple steps, each step involves lots of testing and improvement. If we did promise an approximate release date, but it is passed, it means we had some kind of delay at one of these steps. If something needs to be improved, it usually introduces delays. Very hard to predict how many changes we will have to make before starting shipments. We try to be realistic in the predictions, but sometimes they are not precise.

An answer....

Fine Normis, Thats how it works, just go to Offensive an Tell us, what Happens and the Delay is.

Normis could you write when we should expect routerboard with gigabit PoE? This year?

Work continues on this device, I can't give precise date when it will be available.

This year? We need it

Yup,

we also have lots of inquirys about 24port poe switch...

I am hopeful that Mikrotik is going to replace some new hardware soon.
1) CRS with e.g 24 SFP slots and at least 2 SFP+ slots
2) CRS with POE and ethernet with 1 x SFP+ slot and 1 x SFP slot

Yeah, kind of hoping they'll counter Ubiquiti hardware again (they did so brilliantly with the wAP AC). Their new Edgeswitch 16 XG is a great combination of ports!

Still hoping/waiting for STP and maybe LACP support for the current CRS line, that would be very nice.

Other then that, I'm hoping for something with for a 4x to 6x SFP+ AND 4x to 6x RJ45 10Gbit switch for an affordable price. That would be killer! I wouldn't even care if it was wire-speed or not. For anyone considering 10Gbit at home or a small business this would be awesome! You'd be able to use cheaper DAC cable and fiber using the SFP+ ports and hook up some hosts with RJ45 too (it's starting to become more common).

Investing in a 10Gbps connected setup right now is "okay" looking at network cards and such (even RJ45), their price has come down a lot. A direct connection between hosts is "cheap" but as soon as you need a switch, you get instantly killed by a very high price! The same with my 10Gbps backbone setup, it's great for that (and consumer internet won't become faster then 1Gbps for the foreseeable future) but I would like to hook up a few 10Gbps hosts too.

Hoping maybe at the end of 2017! We can hope right.

+1 but don't you mean at the end of 2016?

I am busy investigating Quanta and Edge-core as aggregation 10Gbps SFP switches.

I will attend to the next MUM in Spain if and only if Mikrotik finally announces Gbit PoE Routerboards, and if not everyone should boycott it

now i think Mikrotik means Q2-2017 for release....

Any news?

@marcin21


you will see the devices for summer 2017
We switch to another brand, Mikrotik sell Gigabit Devices since 2012 and did not have any ROS Powering device today....
Mikrotik is sleeping in any kind....
what is about 802.11ad? USB and PCIe Boards are avaible, but not supported jet, why?
I think Mikrotik did not have focus to Wireless any more....

It's not only my feeling that mikrotik doesn't listen to users requests. I gave up with being free betatester of whatever they produce but the hell
hex poe was announced long time ago and should hit the market between march and june 2016 and we have october yet.
this forces me to use much of unwanted extra stuff as poe injectors so I wonder if POE capable router is so complicated to
engineer or is there any other issue blocking this product to hit market?

in Spain (MUM) they have said gigabit PoE switch will hit the marked till the end of month now its October

MUM in Hungary today.....
Presentation of new devices on the screen at the beginning, like every MUM
And Hex poe and Omnitik AC announced for Q3 (no year)
Mikrotik, is again Q3 in 2016 in Lativa? or does you mean Q3-2017?

mistry7

MuM Indonesia
Hex POE available end of year.....

It was likely held up waiting for the new "mmips" architecture. Not a bad thing I guess

Likely yes, mmips or mips will do the jоb, what about 6 or 8 or 10 Poe Out models, answеr is always ''Other unannounced models also incoming. pls. stand by'' and we wait and wait

Hi,

I would be reallllllyyyyy happy to get from MT at least 16 port SFP switch (with 2 additional SFP+ ports for interconnections).
Well, my dream is: 8+ port SFP+ switch (if ports would support also SFP modules that would be cherry on top )

I am busy investigating Quanta and Edge-core as aggregation 10Gbps SFP switches.

Thanks for tip, I didn't know those manufacturers.


I wonder if MT even take notes what it's customers and users expecting....


Ps. I'm not touching matter of support 802.3ad (LACP) in CRS (this probably is the most awaiting thing by my )

Finally something
https://routerboard.com/RB960PGS

I know also OmniTIk AC PoE out gbit is comping soon on market
but what about other GBit with 6 or 8 or 10 PoE out ports??

Wow, the cold shower..

Many many months of wait for a soho device with 802.at support.....

hEX PoE https://routerboard.com/RB960PGS
Supported input voltage 12 V - 57 V
PoE out 802.3at
PoE in 802.3at

Is this true? Active POE on the output for cameras and phones.

Ordered 50 of the units as I needed a small router with an SFP port and didn't want to spend extra on a Hap ac when wireless is not needed. They are all going into enclosures with netgear GS110t POE switches - I presume I can then power the router via the POE in. Not 100% sure on the PoE out - a few sites suggest its normal passive PoE out etc.

e.g Note: This POE is _not_ 802.3af/at standards based.

It is "passive" POE and outputs the power supply voltage via the unused pairs on on Ethernet ports 2-5. This will power Mikrotik, Ubiquiti, and other POE devices that use passive POE.

This is from https://www.roc-noc.com/mikrotik/router ... 60PGS.html
I need to power 802.3af phones - I should be able to test if it works next week when they arrive. Although I already have the netgears - sigh. If these Hex POE's work nicely - then pity they did not arrive a few months ago when I ordered tons of these netgears. OH well...

Just received my Hex POE's. Works amazing. Powering the device by ether1 to a Netgear, and providing power to a Yealink phone (which says 802.3af on the specs). Well done Mikrotik.
