CUBE 60PRO AC

Upgrading the OLD NS5loco to Cube 60Pro Ac for the better and high throughput performance. Nice to have like this kind of cpe which is not expensive yet reliable on the performance.

Kudos to Mikrotik Team.

They work and don’t lockup like Ubiquiti 60Ghz stuff

Agreed!! But of course it depend always on the Deployment and requirements needed :slight_smile:

Hi,
if Im not wrong this Cube 60Pro ac has ROS L4? So is it standard AP? I know there is also more expensive CubeSA 60Pro ac but could be Cube 60Pro ac used as standard AP?

Thank you

non sector AP model have l3 licence, and obviously, also if you bu the licence, you have very narrow angle…

Please check the Mikrotik product page, there is ROS Levels.

Could I find anywhere angles for 60G device?

As ptp, for me, is an error on specification that support l4, better if you contact support@mikrotik.com

@Bruzxce please, can you check the exact model (system / routerboard) you have and the license level (systel / license)?
Thanks.

ON THE PRODUCT PAGE… :unamused:

11° (+/- 5,5°) the non-SA and 60° (+/-30°) the SA

11° (+/- 5,5°) the non-SA and 60° (+/-30°) the SA

@rextended, any chance you know what “SA” stands for ?
Also i can’t find in the manual the +/- 5,5° and the +/-30°, so what do you mean by that ?

(is this a serious question or a joke? :question: )
SA mean Sector Antenna


60° / 2 = (-)30° & (+)30°
I mean that you can go left by (-)30° and right by (+)30° and 0° is where the antenna is centered / directed / pointed (sorry for my english).
Is why sector antenna have 60° coverage.

You notice that this model do not have the “deflector”?

Instead the “client” antenna have only +/-5,5° because is directive (and wider angle is useless because lost gain, and can be subject of more interfecrencies)

You notice the “deflector” that narrowing the beam?

@rextended thanks…

SA mean Sector Antenna

:open_mouth:
You ’ re right…

Yes, you can use CubePRO as AP. (We use it). But it have only 11 degrees for 60Ghz

so it has ROS Level 4???

SA, has many meanings. South Africa comes to mind and having a military background SA, means Situational Awareness.
Sector Antenna did not pop into my head right away. :slight_smile:

Also why is a left turn always negative LOL and a right turn positive, this may psychologically damage people that are left handed (or right brain dominant).
Back to the military again its either 30 degrees or 330 degrees ;-PPPP

I am still torn between putting a 200 metre fibre optic cable down now for a future boat house or simply giving up on the idea, and in the future install an MT 60Ghz ptp link............
LOS its probably 100metres

@anav :stuck_out_tongue:

Ok, but the sun goes from east to west, regardless of hand,
the northern hemisphere has more land and inhabitants than the south,
so obviously most people see the sun go in positive time from left to right,
and “backward” with negative time from right to left,
and as you can see, it has nothing to do with whether one is left-handed or right-handed.
Changing the point of view, from “one” looking at the sun, to a “radio” looking at clients, is positive by turning to the right, and negative by turning left…

Then that in reality it is the earth that turns counter-clockwise, and everyone makes mistakes, is another thing… :unamused:

yes

We have a link currently doing 1.35km. It has dropped in very, very heavy rain - no idea what that is in mm/H, but think tropical thunderstorm type of rain where you can barely see more than 100m
Anything less than that it has stayed up. This actually makes it slightly better than the 60ghz long range dish

However I still havn’t heard anything about which tx-sector is considered ‘center’. This is vital to correct alignment as it needs to be locked
So its entirely possible that if re-aligned these would stay up in torrential thunderstorm rain if it turns out we’re slightly misaligned. However alignment is far more difficult than the LHG60 with precision mount, and it does move slightly when tightening down. So even so it may not be realistic for most people

But anything short of 1km absolutely go ahead, zero problems
5ghz however is useless, at 1.35km its ~-70db which means single chain its lucky to do 50mbit/s reliably. It’s so slow it is pointless for anything other than management (and maybe VoIP)

This has never made any sense to me, with MikroTik or Ubiquiti. They include 5ghz backup that is so bad it defeats the purpose, so just don’t include it and save costs. I’d rather pay more for better 5ghz performance that is actually viable to use. Or better yet just remove it completely but add a 2nd PoE-out ethernet port to allow for powering and data failover for any other 5ghz radio

Absolutely agree. 5Ghz backup is unusable. It should be at least dualchain and with more power

5GHz interface is designed as backup for 0.001% of time when main 60GHz interface is unavailable. it’s not designed as Access point for other wireless clients or other uses.
