MikroTik cAP lite 802.11n 300Mbps PoE Wireless Access Point

The MikroTik RBcAPL-2nD cAP lite is a compact 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n wireless access point engineered for dense deployment environments such as hotels, airports, and shopping malls. Built on a QCA9533 MIPSBE platform running RouterOS License Level 4, it is designed as a first-class citizen of the MikroTik CAPsMAN controlled AP architecture, enabling centralized management of large AP fleets from a single controller—while remaining fully capable as a standalone access point. The unit ships with two interchangeable enclosures, a wall-mount case and a ceiling-mount case, and MikroTik publishes 3D-printer-friendly design files for custom housings. Dual power input options—802.3af/at PoE and microUSB—simplify installation in virtually any wiring scenario, and the passive thermal design keeps the unit silent and maintenance-free across a tested ambient range of -40 °C to 70 °C.

Key features & benefits

• CAPsMAN-Ready Centralized Management — Natively integrates with the MikroTik CAPsMAN controlled AP system, allowing administrators to provision, monitor, and update all deployed access points from one central RouterOS controller—dramatically reducing on-site management overhead across multi-AP hospitality or public-space installations.
• Dual Interchangeable Enclosures — Ships with both a wall-mount case (88 × 52 × 20 mm) and a ceiling-mount case (88 mm diameter × 20 mm), enabling the same hardware unit to blend cleanly into different architectural environments without additional hardware purchases.
• Flexible Dual Power Input — Accepts 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet (10–60 V) or microUSB (5 V), giving installers the freedom to choose the most practical power source for each deployment location with a maximum consumption of only 4 W.
• Wi-Fi 4 Dual-Chain 2.4 GHz Radio — The integrated QCA9533 wireless chipset delivers 802.11b/g/n (Wi-Fi 4) connectivity on 2.4 GHz with two receive/transmit chains and a maximum data rate of 300 Mbit/s, providing reliable coverage for typical client devices in public and hospitality venues.
• RouterOS License Level 4 — Runs the full MikroTik RouterOS at License Level 4, unlocking advanced routing, firewall, hotspot, and VLAN features that go well beyond what basic access-point firmware typically provides, all manageable via Winbox, WebFig, or CLI.
• Wide Tested Ambient Temperature Range — Validated for operation from -40 °C to 70 °C, making the unit suitable for demanding indoor environments including poorly climate-controlled utility rooms or entryways subject to seasonal temperature swings.
• Passive Fanless Cooling — The zero-fan thermal design eliminates moving parts, reducing both acoustic noise and long-term mechanical failure risk—an important consideration in customer-facing hospitality environments where silence and uptime are equally valued.
