MikroTik hEX PoE Gigabit Ethernet router wit

Powering network devices like IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones often means dealing with a mess of power injectors and extra cables. The MikroTik hEX PoE router eliminates that clutter by combining a five-port Gigabit Ethernet router with built-in PoE output on four ports, delivering data and power over a single cable. Its compact white metal housing fits neatly into any small office, home, or industrial enclosure, while the MediaTek MT7621A dual-core processor and RouterOS provide the performance and flexibility to handle routing, firewall, VLAN, and VPN tasks with ease.

Who is it for

This router is ideal for system integrators, IT administrators, and advanced home users who need a reliable wired router with PoE capability. It suits small business networks, surveillance systems, and remote installations where power outlets are scarce. If you already use MikroTik equipment or want a cost-effective, highly configurable router without Wi-Fi, the hEX PoE is a perfect fit.
