Device Overview

The MikroTik SXT 5 ac (RBSXTG-5HPacD) is an outdoor 5 GHz 802.11ac wireless device with an integrated 16 dBi dual-polarization antenna. It is commonly deployed as a client CPE or in short point-to-point wireless links.

Equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet port, the device supports high-throughput wireless backhaul connections up to 866 Mbps on 80 MHz channel widths. Power is supplied via 12-57V passive PoE or 802.3af/at.

When setting up the SXT 5 ac, technician best practice is to connect initially over MAC WinBox, clear factory default firewalling if used as a pure bridge, and enable Safe Mode (Ctrl+X) before committing scripts.
