The MikroTik cAP XL ac is a dual-band AC1200 ceiling access point with a high-gain antenna and built-in reflector, two Gigabit ports and PoE in and out.

MikroTik rates its coverage at up to twice that of earlier cAP models. The first port takes 802.3af/at PoE; the second port gives passive PoE out (up to 57 V), so it can power another device further along the cable.

Key features

  • 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n, 2 chains, 300 Mbit/s, 6 dBi antenna
  • 5 GHz 802.11a/n/ac, 2 chains, 867 Mbit/s, 5.5 dBi antenna
  • 2 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports
  • 802.3af/at PoE in on port 1, passive PoE out on port 2
  • Quad-core IPQ-4018 CPU, 128 MB RAM, RouterOS level 4 licence
  • 191 x 42 mm ceiling unit, 11 W without attachments

In the box

  • 24 V 1.2 A power adapter
  • Gigabit PoE injector
  • K-81 fastening set
  • cAP XL ac ceiling mount
