MikroTik NetMetal 5SHP – Outdoor 5 GHz Wireless Access Point for SMB and Enterprise Networks

The MikroTik NetMetal 5SHP is a high-power outdoor 802.11ac dual-chain wireless device built for AP, backbone, and CPE deployments on the 5 GHz band where elevated transmission power, external antenna flexibility, and mechanical durability in demanding conditions are baseline requirements. The solid aluminum enclosure with IP54 protection acts as a passive heat sink for the 1.3W transmitter — eliminating active cooling and reducing failure points in long-term outdoor installations.

The super high-power 2x2 802.11ac transmitter on the QCA9882 chipset delivers data rates up to 867 Mbps with backwards compatibility for 802.11a/n equipment in mixed deployments. Dual RP-SMA connectors allow free selection of external antennas — directional, sectoral, or omnidirectional — adapting the device to any deployment topology without compromising antenna gain. The SFP port with DDMI adds fiber optic uplink capability with real-time optical parameter monitoring from RouterOS, providing a second connectivity option alongside the Gigabit Ethernet port.

The waterproof metal enclosure opens and closes with one hand — engineered for rapid field servicing without additional tools, even in wind or extreme temperatures. The tested operating range of -40°C to +70°C and IP54 rating confirm continuous operation in the most demanding outdoor environments. The QCA9557 CPU at 720 MHz and 128 MB RAM support advanced RouterOS Level 4 configurations for routing, VPN, and complex wireless management.

It is the right fit for outdoor wireless backbone where 1.3W transmitter power and specialized external antennas are essential for range and coverage, for ISP 5 GHz sectors where maximum-power dual-chain AC outperforms standard equipment, for installations where dual Gigabit and SFP uplink provides integration flexibility, and for environments where a metal enclosure replaces plastic solutions under mechanical or climatic stress.
