Your Power Hub for Small Networks
The MikroTik hEX PoE lite RB750UPr2 is more than just a simple 5-Port Ethernet Router. It's your smart partner when it comes to operating small networks efficiently and cost-effectively. Imagine being able to power your IP Cameras or WiFi Access Points directly via the Network cable, without separate power supplies and cable clutter. This is exactly what the passive PoE output on ports 2 to 5 allows you to do. Particularly practical: The output voltage corresponds to your input voltage (8-30V DC), which offers you maximum flexibility when integrating into existing 24V infrastructures, such as in telecommunication Enclosures or solar systems. Thus, the RB750UPr2 Router becomes a real 'Power Distribution Unit' with full-fledged routing functions.
RouterOS: Small, but mighty!
Don't be fooled by the compact design of the MikroTik hEX PoE lite. Inside, the powerful RouterOS Level 4 is at work, which you usually only know from significantly more expensive devices. This means for you: You have access to a wealth of advanced functions such as firewall rules, VPN connections, QoS (Quality of Service), and detailed Network management options. Whether you're setting up a small home office or building a specialized IT_Network – with this MikroTik small Network device you have full control and can adapt your network exactly to your needs. The configuration is intuitive and still offers you all the possibilities of a professional router.
Smart Solutions for Your Devices
The MikroTik hEX PoE lite RB750UPr2 particularly shines in scenarios often overlooked by competitors. Thanks to passive PoE output, you can also power older or specific devices that do not comply with active PoE standards (such as 802.3af/at). This makes it the ideal companion for certain MikroTik Access Points or other passive PoE devices. Imagine you have a solar system or a vehicle with 24V power supply – the router can be directly connected to it and pass on the same voltage to your connected devices. This not only saves you additional power supplies but also valuable space and installation effort. An Ethernet Router with PoE that truly thinks ahead!
Compact, Affordable, Powerful
The MikroTik hEX PoE lite RB750UPr2 is the perfect choice if you are looking for an affordable PoE Router that makes no compromises on functionality. Its small, inconspicuous plastic housing blends seamlessly into any environment, making it a real space-saver. Whether as a central point for your IP Cameras, as a small Ethernet Switch with routing function, or as a flexible power source – this device offers impressive performance at an unbeatable price. The MikroTik RB750UPr2 Specifications are designed for efficiency and reliability, ensuring your network runs smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the MikroTik hEX PoE lite RB750UPr2 and what is it used for?
The MikroTik hEX PoE lite RB750UPr2 is a small 5-port Ethernet router in a plastic case, designed for SOHO environments. It features a USB 2.0 port and four passive PoE output ports (Ether2-Ether5) that can power other PoE-capable devices. It is primarily used for basic routing, firewall, and network management tasks, often in scenarios where other devices (such as IP Cameras or WiFi Access Points) also need to be powered via PoE.
What type of PoE output does the MikroTik hEX PoE lite offer?
The MikroTik hEX PoE lite offers passive PoE output on ports 2 to 5. This means that the output voltage corresponds to the voltage applied to the device (input voltage of 8-30V DC). The maximum current per port is 1A, and the maximum total output current is 2A.
Is the MikroTik hEX PoE lite RB750UPr2 suitable for Gigabit networks?
No, the MikroTik hEX PoE lite RB750UPr2 is not suitable for Gigabit networks, as all five Ethernet ports are Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbit/s). For Gigabit speeds, one would need to consider a different model such as the MikroTik hEX (RB750Gr3) or similar devices.
Can the MikroTik hEX PoE lite itself be powered via PoE?
Yes, the MikroTik hEX PoE lite can be powered via passive PoE on the first Ethernet port (PoE-IN). The input voltage can range between 8V and 30V DC.
Niche: What are the limitations of PoE power supply when the hEX PoE lite itself is powered via PoE?
When the hEX PoE lite itself is powered via PoE on the first port, the maximum current entering the device through this port is limited to 1A. Since the device itself consumes approximately 3W, this reduces the available power for the PoE output ports. It is important to calculate the total PoE budget, as the total power for the output ports is 2A, but the input power via PoE-In affects the overall availability. For example, with a 24V input via PoE-In and a consumption of 11W per connected device, the router could reliably power only a single additional device.
Niche: What is the difference between the hEX PoE lite (RB750UPr2) and the hEX (RB750Gr3)?
The main difference lies in performance and network speeds. The hEX PoE lite (RB750UPr2) features 10/100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet Ports, a 650 MHz single-core CPU, and 64 MB RAM. The hEX (RB750Gr3), on the other hand, offers 5 Gigabit Ethernet Ports, a more powerful dual-core 880 MHz CPU, and 256 MB RAM, as well as a microSD slot for improved read/write speeds. The hEX PoE lite specializes in PoE output on Fast Ethernet, while the hEX is designed for higher throughput rates at Gigabit speed and does not offer PoE output on multiple ports (only PoE-In).
