Need new hardware switch (hEX device appearance) - 5 ports (1Gbit/s) and 8-30V power!
Gigabit switch (Repeater on 5 ports)
Not sure what you mean. You wish to purchase another hex?
No, need to make a regular 5 gigabit switch powered by 8-30V
It is necessary for backup and uninterrupted power supply of switches
I was faced with the fact that I can not ensure smooth operation on the 5V and 9V switches
This requires converters 12V>9V and 12V>5V, this is an extra detail that has nowhere to hide on the wall and spoil the look
RB260GS ?
RB260GS expensive due to SFP port and the size is big
Switch must be compact as hEX
Is the hEX too expensive to work as a switch? I don’t know what your topology looks like but it could help you to implement OSPF and avoid bridging. Anyways, it can work as a switch too.
hEX is a router!
I do not need to make a switch from the router!
I need gigabit switch (as Gigabit Ethernet Repeater “GPeR” but on 5 ports)
- without PoE
- without USB
- without microSD
- without CPU MT7621A (enough QCA8511)
Its price should be much less!
What is the point of buying an hEX router and making a switch from it?
The image shows the appearance, but as a switch, not a router!
There should be a single function: 8-30V power!
@Vitokhv here you are https://mikrotik.com/products/group/switches
You have equipment more than 100m apart?
RB260GS expensive due to SFP port and the size is big
Only 1 wire UTP per 1 gigabit enters the department (a distance of about 60 meters)
Ceiling height of 8 meters does not allow for each workplace to pull a separate cable from the server
So need to make a simple gigabit switch (as Gigabit Ethernet Repeater “GPeR” but on 5 ports)
What does GPeR have to do with it then?
I gave GPeR as an example that I need a repeater, not a hEX router (hEX device appearance)
Box for 5 ports as GPeR (but without PoE)
What’s the problem with the dumb switches that are already on the market?
So I explain to you that I need such a switch with support for 8-30V power
I was faced with the fact that I can not ensure smooth operation on the 5V and 9V switches
This requires converters 12V>9V and 12V>5V, this is an extra detail that has nowhere to hide on the wall and spoil the look
Can it be PoE In ?
I don’t know where one can search for switches by input voltage.
I think PoE support will affect the price, so without it
If there are some switches, then they have only a fixed voltage, when it sags, such switches cannot work stably
Therefore, only Mikrotik is capable of this
All hope for him
Maybe you could DIY a GPEN with a USB switch.
That’s why it is so important to be clear from the beginning so other people can help you in a good manner. I’m so sorry to try to help you just by asking some details about your needs.
Good luck.
Thank you, it’s very difficult for me to translate from Russian, but your questions will help others understand the a task
Without USB (need 5 port 1Gbit)
Or I did not understand your question
