MikroTik netPower Lite 7R
The MikroTik netPower Lite 7R (CSS610-1Gi-7R-2S+OUT) is an IP54-rated outdoor switch with 7 × reverse PoE Gigabit Ethernet ports, 1 × Gigabit PoE-out port, and 2 × 10G SFP+ uplinks — purpose-built for the GPEN concept of replacing costly GPON fiber networks with a lower-cost, easier-to-deploy Ethernet alternative for apartment buildings and multi-dwelling units. As the Official MikroTik Distributor for Kenya and Uganda, Simplifi Networks delivers this unit with guaranteed genuine hardware, official local warranty, and dedicated B2B technical support across East Africa.
The netPower Lite 7R solves the last-mile cost problem for ISPs in Kenya and Uganda serving apartment buildings and residential estates. Instead of deploying expensive GPON base stations and optical splitters, install one netPower Lite 7R per floor or building section — powered by the subscribers' own PoE connections — and deliver Gigabit internet to each unit over standard Ethernet at a fraction of the fiber infrastructure cost.

About the MikroTik netPower Lite 7R
- 7 × reverse PoE Gigabit Ethernet ports — powered by subscriber connections — The switch draws its operating power from the PoE connections of connected client devices; in a fully loaded building, even a single active subscriber connection can power the switch — eliminating the need for a separate power supply at every network node
- 2 × 10G SFP+ uplink ports — High-speed fiber uplinks connect the switch to your ISP backhaul at 10G speeds; two SFP+ ports provide redundancy and link aggregation options for high-availability apartment building deployments across East Africa
- 1 × Gigabit PoE-out port (port 8) — DC jack and 2-pin terminal power inputs — Port 8 delivers passive PoE to power a downstream access point or camera; DC jack and 2-pin terminal provide alternative power input options including battery backup for off-grid installation sites
- IP54 outdoor enclosure — attics, elevator shafts, poles, walls — Sealed against dust and rain; compact form factor fits in damp attics, maintenance shafts, stairwells, and poles with hose clamps included; -40°C to +70°C for East Africa's full outdoor temperature range
- 28 Gbps non-blocking throughput, SwitchOS Lite web management — Wire-speed switching for all 10 ports simultaneously; SwitchOS Lite provides simple browser-based management for ISP field technicians; no complex CLI required for deployment across apartment blocks in Kenya and Uganda
