Features

Compact Design with High Performance
The hEX router combines a small form factor with an 800MHz CPU, delivering the processing power needed for advanced RouterOS configurations. Its 128MB RAM ensures smooth operation for multiple routing tasks without slowing down your network.

Gigabit Connectivity with PoE Support
All five Ethernet ports provide Gigabit speeds, and ports 2-5 include PoE output to power compatible devices using the same voltage supplied to the router. The unit supports both passive PoE input and passive or 802.3af/at output, providing flexible power solutions for connected devices. Each port supports a maximum current of 1A, and shielded ports ensure stable connections.

Expandable Network Options
With a USB 2.0 port and SFP port, the hEX allows for additional connectivity options, including optical fiber links. This makes it easy to expand or upgrade your network without replacing the router.

Easy to Use and Affordable
Despite its advanced capabilities, the MikroTik hEX is designed to be easy to set up and manage. Its compact, plastic case and included PSU make installation simple, and its cost-effective design offers high value without compromising performance.

Reliable Power Management
The router can power other PoE devices directly from its Ethernet ports, supporting AT/AF mode B devices when using 48-57V input. This minimizes clutter from multiple adapters and ensures efficient deployment in various networking environments.
