Mikrotik netPower Lite 8P
Power cuts shouldn’t mean downtime. The netPower Lite 8P delivers reliable Power-over-Ethernet even when the grid goes dark. The integrated UPS and smart charger work with your external 24 V battery – and can deliver high-voltage PoE-out even from low-voltage DC sources, making the netPower a perfect match for CCTV, offices, apartment buildings, and smart-city installations.
Just like our other outdoor-friendly gear, this switch is built to endure. With an operating range of –40 °C to +70 °C, the netPower Lite 8P keeps delivering where many devices would already be giving up. The switch can draw up to 181 W total, with a 120 W PoE-Out budget. When incoming power is limited, PoE is prioritized automatically – charging slows down first to keep your essential devices online.
The netPower Lite 8P comes with eight Gigabit Ethernet ports featuring 802.3af/at PoE-Out, plus two 10G SFP+ uplinks for high-speed backhaul. It runs SwOS Lite – fast, efficient, and refreshingly simple to manage. Power input is flexible: just feed 24–57 V DC into the 2-pin terminal.
Built-in UPS support:
effective, reliable, gives you options
Connect a 24 V nominal battery – typically two 12 V units in series – and the switch instantly becomes a small, efficient UPS. During a power outage, PoE devices stay online without any interruptions.
The charger supports flooded, AGM, and gel-based lead-acid batteries, as well as LiFePO₄ (Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery) packs with proper BMS. The charger subsystem is designed for charging batteries through the 2-pin header in a current range 0.2-1.6 A, and at a voltage range of 20 to 31.7 V.
Charging is handled intelligently through three stages:
A temperature sensor is included; it fine-tunes voltage for lead-acid batteries and blocks charging when temperatures drift outside a safe range. This helps prolong battery life.
Perfect for WISPs, CCTV, apartments, utilities, and smart-city networks
Whenever uptime matters (and budgets!), the netPower Lite 8P gives you a clean, reliable, scalable solution. You get PoE, backup power, smart monitoring, and rugged outdoor performance in one compact device.
So if you value every watt and every second of uptime – the netPower Lite 8P is ready to keep you online…even when the lights go out.
