Mikrotik cAP XL ac Dual Band Dual Chain 2xG Ethernet ports International version access point
Ceiling-mount dual-band access point with high-gain antennas, two Gigabit ports and PoE in/out for extended coverage
- Larger antenna and reflector extend coverage up to 100%
- Ceiling-mount 360° dual-band radio reduces signal blockage
- Two Gigabit Ethernet ports enable wired expansion with PoE flexibility
- First port accepts 802.3 af/at PoE input 18-57V
- Second port delivers passive PoE output up to 57V
Ceiling-mount dual-band access point
The Mikrotik cAP XL ac is a ceiling-mounted wireless access point with dual-band, dual-chain radios covering 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. It runs RouterOS on a quad-core ARM CPU at 716 MHz with 128 MB RAM and 16 MB flash storage. Two Gigabit Ethernet ports provide wired backhaul and passive PoE output on the second port.
Suits ceiling deployments needing PoE pass-through
Installers who want a single-cable installation with the ability to power a downstream device from the second Ethernet port will benefit from 802.3af/at PoE input and passive PoE output up to 57 V. Buyers who need mesh roaming protocols not included in RouterOS or who require outdoor-rated enclosures should look at other hardware.
AC1200 dual-chain radio with 6 dBi 2.4 GHz gain
The combined 300 Mbit/s on 2.4 GHz and 867 Mbit/s on 5 GHz, each with two spatial streams, determines the real-world throughput ceiling for client devices. If the site survey calls for higher aggregate capacity or more spatial streams, this model will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item
How much power does the cAP XL ac draw when running continuously at full load?
Maximum consumption is 24 W with attachments and 11 W without, powered through the 802.3 af/at PoE input at 18-57 V.
What cabling and power equipment are required to install this access point?
Two Gigabit Ethernet cables; the first port accepts 802.3 af/at PoE input, the second provides passive PoE output up to 57 V for a downstream device.
Will the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios connect to my older Wi-Fi 4 clients and Wi-Fi 5 devices simultaneously?
Yes, the 2.4 GHz radio runs 802.11 b/g/n at 300 Mbit/s and the 5 GHz radio runs 802.11 a/n/ac at 867 Mbit/s, both dual-chain for concurrent legacy and modern clients.
