Product ID: CRS318-1Fi-15Fr-2S-OUT (netPower 15FR)
Supplier: Mikrotik
The MikroTik netPower 15FR (CRS318-1Fi-15Fr-2S-OUT) is a rugged outdoor reverse PoE smart switch designed for ISP networks, outdoor Ethernet distribution, wireless backhaul, and GPEN deployments. Featuring 15 Gigabit reverse PoE ports and dual SFP uplinks, it provides cost-effective outdoor fiber aggregation and simplified power distribution for demanding edge network environments.
Built for outdoor installations, the netPower 15FR features an IP54-rated enclosure suitable for pole-mounted, utility, industrial, and outdoor access network deployments where traditional power infrastructure may be limited. Its reverse PoE capability allows the switch to receive power through connected Ethernet devices while distributing power downstream, reducing installation complexity and minimizing the need for multiple power injectors.
Powered by an ARM-based architecture with dual boot support for RouterOS v7 or SwOS, the CRS318-1Fi-15Fr-2S-OUT supports managed switching, VLAN configuration, monitoring, and light routing for flexible ISP and outdoor networking deployments.
The MikroTik netPower 15FR is designed as a cost-effective GPEN (Gigabit Passive Ethernet Network) solution for ISPs and outdoor fiber deployments. It combines the flexibility of Ethernet networking with fiber backhaul support, helping reduce the cost of traditional GPON infrastructure while still delivering reliable outdoor network distribution.
The MikroTik CRS318-1Fi-15Fr-2S-OUT includes 18 total ports, featuring 16 Fast Ethernet ports and 2 SFP ports for fiber connectivity. It also supports reverse PoE functionality for flexible outdoor network installations.
Yes, the MikroTik netPower 15FR is built for outdoor deployments and includes a weather-resistant enclosure suitable for installations on poles, in elevator shafts, utility rooms, attics, and other demanding environments.
No, the MikroTik netPower 15FR does not include a power supply in the package. A compatible power supply must be purchased separately depending on the deployment requirements.
The MikroTik CRS318-1Fi-15Fr-2S-OUT supports dual-boot functionality with both MikroTik RouterOS and SwOS. This allows network administrators to choose between advanced routing features or simplified smart switch management depending on the deployment needs.
