CSS610-8P-2S+OUT - MikroTik netPower Lite 8P Compact PoE switch with built-in UPS and smart battery charger

netPower Lite 8P

Low-cost. Tough. And always ON! Compact PoE switch with built-in UPS and smart battery charger - because your CCTV cameras and access points deserve true off-the-grid resilience.

- 8× Gigabit Ethernet
- 802.3af/at PoE-Out
- 2× 10G SFP+ uplinks
- 24-57 V DC input
- 120 W total PoE-Out
- Integrated UPS switchover
- Built-in smart battery charger
- Temperature sensor included

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.

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.

Just like 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.

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.

Alarm input
Connect a simple 2-wire contact to detect tampering, and the device will report it instantly in SwOS Lite and over SNMP. You can pair it with a RouterOS device for additional automation or creative scripting triggers.

Typical Deployment
Powering cameras and wireless backhaul from a single UPS-enabled switch with zero downtime in the long run

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.
