The MikroTik hEX S is a compact, managed network router designed for robust and reliable network management. Featuring a dual-core CPU and 512 MB of memory, it offers five Gigabit Ethernet ports, a 2.5 GbE SFP port for high-speed fiber connectivity, and a USB-A 3.0 port for expanded functionality. This passively cooled device supports passive PoE output on its fifth port, making it ideal for powering other compatible devices in a wide range of operating conditions from -40 to 70°C.
