netPower 16P
What is the best outdoor PoE switch with 10G fiber uplinks for powering access points and cameras on towers and masts?
The MikroTik netPower 16P (CRS318-16P-2S+OUT) is an IP54-rated outdoor 18-port switch with 16 × Gigabit PoE-out ports and 2 × 10G SFP+ uplinks — engineered to power and connect access points, IP cameras, and network devices directly on towers, poles, and masts without a separate shelter or enclosure. As the Authorized Master Distributor in 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 16P eliminates the long cable runs from a shelter to rooftop devices that cause signal degradation and installation complexity on towers across Kenya and Uganda. Mount the switch directly on the pole or mast, feed it power and a 10G uplink, and power up to sixteen access points or cameras right at the antenna level — clean, simple, and reliable.
