hEX S
hEX S is a five port Gigabit Ethernet router for locations where wireless connectivity is not required. Compared to the hEX, the hEX S also features an SFP port and PoE output on the last port.
It is affordable, small and easy to use, but at the same time comes with a very powerful dual core 880 MHz CPU and 256 MB RAM, capable of all the advanced configurations that RouterOS supports. The device has a USB 2.0, PoE output for Ethernet port #5 and a 1.25Gbit/s SFP cage.
IPsec hardware encryption (~470 Mbps) and The Dude server package is supported, microSD slot on it provides improved r/w speed for file storage and Dude.
Is this a future device? i can’t find anywhere to buy it and its not on the mikrotik page, i NEED that sfp port i have a HEX right now and that is my only complain.
There doesn’t seem to be a block diagram available for the RB760iGS yet, but I wonder if the SFP has it’s own link to the CPU or whether it shares it with the switch chip. With the RB3011, for example, you had to consider which ports to use if you had an SFP installed.
Poe out and support 802.11at/af very good.
and separately big thanks about classic case. Really.
Classic case in grey color look avesome, much better that “new-style” assymetrical tower cases. @normis, can we expect also PoE verison Hex S with 4 PoE-out ports for replace current Hex Poe with older 1-core mips SoC?
offtopic: can we expect hap ac^2 in classic case like this?
we built a rack-mount kit that accommodates 2 of them and has lights-out to make the link/activity indicators visible even if the devices are tightly stacked on top of each other.
Very cool Normis and co.Deffo gonna use a lot of these guys in the field.
There perhaps any chance we can get USB console ports on these cheaper devices in the future ?
I’d prefer a “real” console but space on the actual board must be a real isssue.
you can use WOOBM for temporary console access, or just any random USB to serial adaptor (using PL2303 or FT232) and routeros will start system console on the new serial port.
Thanks dude , really didn’t know about the USB Serial Adaptor/Console thing.Can it also be used to debug or change router bootup or does it only function after ROS has booted up ?
VERY much like it, I will wait for definite performance numbers on a WAN on SFP scenario but will probably replace my HeX with for this new one.
I appreciate the sd slot.
EDIT any word on price compared to the current hex ?
