MikroTik RouterBOARD PowerBox Pro
The MikroTik RouterBOARD PowerBox Pro is a five-port gigabit ethernet router designed for outdoor use. It supports both passive and standard 802.3at/af PoE input/output, allowing for the powering of PoE capable devices on ports 2-5 with the same voltage used by the unit. This model comes with a 24V power supply, but a separate 48V power supply is required for powering 48V 802.3af devices. It is important to note that this switch cannot be used with a mix of 24V and 48V devices, as the input voltage will be supplied to all devices.

FAQs
Q: What is the MikroTik RB960PGS‑PB used for?
A: The RB960PGS‑PB PowerBox Pro is an outdoor‑rated router designed for network edge or tower installations. It provides five Gigabit Ethernet ports (with SFP cage) and powers downstream PoE devices on four of those ports, simplifying installations where network and power converge.
Q: What are the key hardware specifications of the RB960PGS‑PB?
A: It features a single‑core 800 MHz CPU, 128 MB RAM, 16 MB flash storage, five 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, one SFP slot, passive or 802.3af/at PoE in/out support, and a rugged enclosure rated for operation from –40 °C to +70 °C.
Q: What PoE‑in and PoE‑out capabilities does the RB960PGS‑PB offer?
A: It supports passive PoE input or DC jack input (12–57 V), and ports 2‑5 can deliver PoE‑out (802.3af/at) at up to 1 A per port (or 450 mA when input >30 V) with a maximum total of 2 A. This allows powering other devices like APs or cameras directly.
Q: In what deployment scenarios is the RB960PGS‑PB most suitable?
A: It’s ideal for outdoor network installations—such as small towers, pole‑mounted access, bridging locations or remote cabinets—where wired Gigabit connectivity and PoE‑powered device support are required in a weather‑resistant package.
Q: What installation and environmental considerations apply to the RB960PGS‑PB?
A: Designed for outdoor use, it supports a wide operating temperature range and includes mounting brackets for poles or racks. Given the built‑in PoE‑out capability, it helps reduce the number of power injectors and simplifies cabling when powering multiple downstream devices.
