White rectangular outdoor network switch with fifteen Ethernet ports and two SFP cages

Mikrotik

Mikrotik CRS318-1Fi-15Fr-2S-OUT netPower 15FR Outdoor Switch 15 Ports

SKU CH-AXSZ-DKHFF

Outdoor switch with 15 reverse PoE ports, two SFP uplinks, 3.6 Gbps throughput, 7.2 Gbps switching capacity and 5.4 Mpps forwarding rate

  • 15 reverse PoE ports draw power from connected devices
  • Two SFP ports enable fiber uplink connectivity
  • Outdoor-rated enclosure withstands damp and harsh environments
  • 6 Gbps non-blocking throughput handles heavy traffic
  • 2 Gbps switching capacity supports wire-speed forwarding

Outdoor PoE Switch for ISP Deployments

The Mikrotik CRS318-1Fi-15Fr-2S-OUT netPower 15FR is an outdoor switch built for ISP GPEN deployments. It delivers fiber speed and Ethernet versatility without costly GPON base stations or optical splitters. The rugged enclosure suits damp attics, elevator shafts and pole mounting with hose clamps. Fifteen reverse PoE ports simplify power sourcing in utility spaces.

Ideal for Fiber-to-the-Home Rollouts

This unit suits ISPs needing a low-cost, non-blocking aggregation point for individual apartments. It is not for buyers who require an included power supply, as none is shipped with the switch. It also does not fit installations that demand more than fifteen powered ports or greater than 3.6 Gbps throughput. Environments needing built-in wireless radios should look elsewhere.

Fifteen Ports With 3.6 Gbps Throughput

The switch provides fifteen reverse PoE ports and two SFP uplinks for fiber connectivity. Non-blocking throughput reaches 3.6 Gbps with a 7.2 Gbps switching capacity and 5.4 Mpps forwarding rate. Port fifteen can power other PoE devices using the same input voltage. Capacity runs out when aggregate traffic exceeds the stated throughput or port count limits.

Questions about this item

What separate item must I buy before this switch can power up and pass traffic?

The power supply is not included, so you need to source a compatible PoE injector or power adapter that matches the voltage your deployment requires.

Will the two SFP ports accept the same fiber modules I already use in older MikroTik gear?

The SFP ports follow the standard SFP interface, so any SFP transceiver rated for the same speed and wavelength will work.

How can I confirm the 3.6 Gbps non-blocking throughput is actually being reached after installation?

Monitor the traffic graphs in the RouterOS or SwOS management interface; sustained aggregate rates approaching 3.6 Gbps across the 15 ports indicate the switch is operating at its rated capacity.
