2.5G SFP Uplink for Fiber-Level Speeds
The hEX S (2025) is designed to fully utilize modern fiber optic packages. It features a 2.5G SFP port that allows the connection of high-demand devices, such as movie servers or workstations, offering speeds that surpass traditional Gigabit and eliminate any delay in data transfer.
Port Flexibility and PoE Support
Equipped with 5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, the router offers complete configuration: each port can be set as WAN, LAN, or bridge. Port #1 supports PoE-In to power the device itself, while port #5 provides PoE-Out, allowing direct power supply to other devices (such as cameras or access points) without additional power cables.
Powerful Hardware and RouterOS v7
At the heart of the hEX S is a Dual-Core ARM processor and 512 MB RAM, providing the necessary power for advanced routing. With the RouterOS v7 operating system, you have access to professional features such as VLANs, traffic shaping, bonding, and advanced firewalls, giving you complete control over your wired network.
Local Speed for Creators (Port Bonding)
For video editors and researchers, the hEX S allows bonding (combining) two 1G ports to your NAS, while your computer remains connected at 2.5G. This combination ensures lightning-fast large file transfers, smooth backups, and zero bottlenecks in your workflow.
Compact Design and USB 3.0
Despite its small size and budget-friendly character, the hEX S includes a USB 3.0 port for easy file sharing and network storage. Its wall-mount design and flexible power supply (12–57 V) make it ideal for installation in smart homes, small offices, or labs with limited space.
