Since mikrotik introduced gigabit on radios, I really really need to see it working. Gigabit poe injector is not a solution because of 10 radios instaled on tower so a lot of space will be mess up. So the question remains: will mikrotik make an gigabit poe router/switch like ubnt tough switch (wich can’t work over 24v so no use with 27v battery bank)?
I may sugest an RB2011 with poe, 5 gigabit ports are enough in most cases ![]()
I think RB2011UP will be interesting device.
also with sfp

rb2011UPAS would be nice
waiting…
PoE-out at least on the five 10/100 ports of the RB2011 would be nice, and easier to implement (gigabit PoE is more tricky as the transformers must be able to handle high DC currents - more expensive, larger size). As an added bonus, instead of the diodes in series adding unnecessary voltage drop (problematic in 12V battery systems), put them parallel to the PoE-out switch transistors so they are still protected against reverse current and the ports can double as redundant (diode-OR) PoE-in. In buildings for multiple families, the device could be powered by multiple customers to avoid disputes about electricity bills etc. (don’t laugh) and a single point of failure (power from just one customer who needs Internet access most would be enough to keep it running for all of them). The same suggestion applies to future revisions of RB750UP and Omnitik with PoE-out too.
