Mikrotik LDF 5 5 GHz Power over Ethernet PoE Red White

The LDF (Lite Dish Feed) is an outdoor wireless device with an integrated antenna designed for installation in satellite offset dish antennas. When mounted in a satellite dish, the LDF uses the dish as a reflector to increase signal gain, enabling long-range wireless links while keeping the radio itself compact and easy to deploy. The unit ships with RouterOS preinstalled and is ready for immediate use.

Advantages

The compact LDF fits into standard 40 mm diameter offset mounts, allowing use with most consumer and professional satellite dishes. Using a dish up to 100 cm in diameter can provide up to 33 dBi of antenna gain, improving link range and performance. Its small size reduces shipping and installation costs and simplifies field deployment. Preinstalled RouterOS eliminates the need for initial firmware setup.

Key specifications

• Form factor: outdoor wireless unit with integrated antenna feed
• Mount compatibility: standard offset dish mount, 40 mm diameter
• Maximum dish diameter supported: up to 100 cm
• Maximum antenna gain with dish: up to 33 dBi
• Software: RouterOS preinstalled
• Intended use: installed inside satellite offset dish to act as feed and radio

How to use

Place the LDF inside the 40 mm offset mount of an appropriate satellite dish and secure it according to the dish manufacturer’s instructions. Point and align the dish toward the remote station to maximize signal strength; the dish reflector will amplify the LDF’s integrated antenna. Connect the unit to power and the network, configure RouterOS as required for your link parameters, and verify throughput and link stability.

Recommendations

For best results use a well-aligned offset dish up to 100 cm in diameter and follow safe outdoor installation practices. Verify mount fit (40 mm diameter) before purchase and use RouterOS documentation for advanced configuration and tuning.
