This kit includes two Cube 60Pro ac devices, enabling a robust wireless link over significant distances, ideal for extending network access where traditional cabling is impractical.

2. What's in the Box

Your MikroTik Wireless Wire Cube Pro kit contains the following components:

  • Two (2) MikroTik Cube 60Pro ac devices
  • Two (2) Pole Mounting Brackets
  • Two (2) Hose Clamps for mounting
  • Two (2) Gigabit Passive PoE Injectors
  • Two (2) AC/DC Power Adapters

3.2 Powering On and Connectivity

Connect the included Gigabit Passive PoE Injector to the Cube Pro device using an Ethernet cable. Then, connect the AC/DC power adapter to the PoE injector. The other end of the PoE injector connects to your network device (e.g., router, switch).

3.3 Alignment for Optimal Performance

For the best performance, ensure a clear line of sight between the two Cube Pro devices. The 60 GHz frequency band requires precise alignment. The devices are designed to establish a reliable connection over distances up to 2.4 km (1.5 miles).

4. Operating the Devices

Once powered on and properly aligned, the Cube Pro devices will automatically establish a wireless link. Indicator lights on the device will provide status information regarding power, link quality, and activity. Refer to the official MikroTik documentation for detailed LED indicator meanings.

5. Maintenance

The MikroTik Cube Pro devices are designed for outdoor use with an IP67 international protection rating, indicating high resistance to dust and water. Regular maintenance is minimal but includes:

  • Periodically inspect the mounting hardware to ensure it remains secure.
  • Keep the front of the devices clear of obstructions (e.g., leaves, snow, ice) that could interfere with the 60 GHz signal.
  • Check cable connections for any signs of wear or damage.

6. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your Wireless Wire Cube Pro kit, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

  • No Power: Ensure the PoE injector is properly connected to the device and the power adapter is plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check the power indicator light on the PoE injector.
  • No Link/Poor Performance:
    • Verify clear line of sight between both devices. Even small obstructions can significantly impact 60 GHz signals.
    • Re-check the alignment of both units. Slight adjustments can improve signal strength.
    • Inspect Ethernet cables for damage or improper connection.
    • Environmental factors like heavy rain or snow can temporarily degrade 60 GHz performance.
  • Network Connectivity Issues: Confirm that your network devices (router, switch) connected to the PoE injectors are functioning correctly.
