MikroTik RB960PGS User Manual

hEX PoE

hEX PoE is a five port gigabit ethernet router
for locations where wireless connectivity is not
required. The device has a USB 2.0 port and a
SFP port for adding optical fiber connectivity. The
ports 2-5 can power other PoE capable devices
with the same voltage as applied to the unit.

hEX PoE

It is aordable, small and easy to use, but at the
same time comes with a very powerful 800MHz
CPU, capable of all the advanced configurations
that RouterOS supports.

Less power adapters and cables to worry about!
Max current is 1A per port if input voltage is
12-30V, 450mA if 31-57V, Ethernet ports are
shielded.

RB960PGS can power 802.3af/at devices if 48V DC input is used (unit comes with 24v power supply,
so you would have to purchase 48v power supply separately to support this). Unit provides max
current 450mA for each port regardless device power class (doesn’t support PoE powered device
classification).

1. All tests are done with Xena Networks specialized test equipment (XenaBay),and done according to RFC2544 (Xena2544)

2. Max throughput is determined with 30+ second attempts with 0,1% packet loss tolerance in 64, 512, 1518 byte packet sizes

3. Values in Italic indicate that max throughput was reached without maxing out CPU, but because board interface configuration
was maxed out

4. Test results show device maximum performance, and are reached using mentioned hardware and software configuration,
dierent configurations most likely will result in lower results
