MikroTik FTC21-ups IP67 2.5G SFP Fiber-to-Copper PoE Converter

The MikroTik FTC21-ups is an IP67-rated weatherproof Fiber-to-Copper media converter designed for outdoor and harsh-environment deployments. It bridges a 2.5G SFP fiber uplink to two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, with PoE-out on the Ether2 port supporting 802.3af/at standards — making it well suited for powering outdoor IP cameras and access points at the network edge. An integrated battery backup sustains active links during brief power interruptions, eliminating unnecessary link renegotiations and downstream device reboots that would otherwise disrupt surveillance streams or wireless backhaul sessions. The unit accepts dual DC inputs — a DC jack and PoE-IN — offers fully passive cooling, and ships ready to deploy with a preinstalled, licensed operating system and free lifetime software updates for a minimum of five years from purchase.

Key features & benefits

• IP67 Weatherproof Enclosure — Fully sealed against dust ingress and temporary immersion, the FTC21-ups withstands demanding outdoor installations across a tested ambient temperature range of -40°C to 70°C without active cooling.
• 2.5G SFP Fiber Uplink — A single SFP port with 2.5G support provides flexible, high-capacity fiber connectivity, allowing operators to match the uplink to the available fiber infrastructure and SFP transceiver type.
• Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports — Two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports extend copper connectivity to local devices, with the switch chip model 88E6341 managing traffic between the fiber uplink and copper segments.
• 802.3af/at PoE-Out on Ether2 — Ether2 delivers 802.3af/at-compliant PoE output with a maximum total output of 0.625 A and 15 W, suitable for powering CCTV cameras and similar edge devices directly from the converter without a separate injector.
• Integrated Battery Backup — The onboard battery maintains link continuity during short power outages, preventing downstream devices from rebooting and preserving established sessions — critical for uninterrupted surveillance and monitoring applications.
• Dual DC Input Options — The device accepts power via a DC jack (24–57 V) or PoE-IN (802.3af/at, 48–57 V), providing installation flexibility and redundant input paths for mission-critical outdoor links.
• Preinstalled Licensed OS with Lifetime Updates — Ships with a preinstalled and fully licensed operating system — no additional purchase required — and includes free software updates for the life of the product or a minimum of five years from the date of purchase.
• Passive Cooling — All-passive thermal management eliminates moving parts, reducing maintenance requirements and contributing to long-term reliability in sealed outdoor enclosures.
