MikroTik CSS610-1Gi-7R-2S+OUT netPower Lite 7R Outdoor Switch

Description

The MikroTik CSS610-1Gi-7R-2S+OUT netPower Lite 7R is an outdoor managed switch designed for internet service providers, WISPs, FTTH networks and other network infrastructure deployments. It combines 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports with 2 × 10G SFP+ ports, providing both copper connectivity and high-speed fiber uplinks in a compact outdoor enclosure.

The netPower Lite 7R is designed around MikroTik’s GPEN concept, providing a practical way to extend Ethernet-based network infrastructure while taking advantage of fiber connectivity. Its outdoor enclosure makes it suitable for deployment on poles and in other network locations where equipment needs protection from outdoor environmental conditions. The device has an IP54-rated enclosure and is designed for demanding outdoor installations.

7 Reverse PoE Inputs

One of the key features of the MikroTik CSS610-1Gi-7R-2S+OUT is its 7 reverse PoE Ethernet ports. These ports can receive power through compatible Ethernet connections, giving network operators several options for powering the switch.

The device also supports direct DC power through its DC jack and 2-pin terminal. It accepts 12–57V DC input, allowing network installers to select a suitable power arrangement for the deployment. This flexibility is particularly useful for ISP and WISP installations where power availability can vary between sites.

10G SFP+ Fiber Uplinks

The netPower Lite 7R includes 2 × 10G SFP+ ports for high-speed fiber connectivity. These ports can be used for uplinks to aggregation switches, routers or other network infrastructure using compatible SFP+ modules and fiber connections.

The combination of Gigabit Ethernet access ports and 10G SFP+ uplinks makes the switch suitable for networks that need to connect multiple Ethernet devices while maintaining higher-speed connectivity toward the network core.

PoE-Out for Network Devices

Ethernet port 8 supports passive PoE-out, allowing the switch to provide power to compatible MikroTik or other supported devices. The available PoE-out power depends on the incoming power supplied to the netPower Lite 7R.

This capability can help simplify outdoor network installations by combining switching and power delivery within one device. It can be useful for powering compatible wireless equipment and other network devices without requiring a separate power connection at the installation point.

Outdoor ISP and WISP Deployments

The MikroTik CSS610-1Gi-7R-2S+OUT is particularly suitable for ISP and WISP networks where equipment may be installed on poles, in outdoor cabinets, communication infrastructure and other remote locations. Its compact enclosure and passive cooling help simplify deployment where conventional indoor rack equipment may not be practical.

For network operators in Kenya and across Africa, the netPower Lite 7R can be used in broadband access networks, wireless distribution sites, fiber-fed Ethernet networks and other infrastructure projects requiring outdoor switching and flexible power options.

Switching Performance and SwOS Lite

The netPower Lite 7R uses MikroTik SwitchOS Lite for switch management. It provides a web-based management environment for configuring and monitoring the switch.

The device provides up to 28 Gbps of non-blocking throughput and 56 Gbps of switching capacity, making it suitable for high-volume Ethernet switching and fiber uplink applications.
