The MikroTik GPeR (Gigabit Passive Ethernet Repeater) is a compact, high-performance solution designed to extend Ethernet and PoE reach far beyond the standard 100-meter limitation. As a key component of the GPEN (Gigabit Passive Ethernet Network) concept, it allows for easy, cost-effective infrastructure deployment in multi-floor buildings or large complexes, effectively replacing complex fibre installations with standard CAT6 cabling.
Technical Specifications
- Model Code: GPeR
- Ethernet Ports: 2x 10/100/1000 Mbps
- PoE In Standards: 802.3af/at (24–57 V DC)
- PoE Out Standards: 802.3af/at

- Total Link Extension: Up to 1,500 meters (one side powered) or 3,000 meters (both sides powered) via daisy-chaining multiple units.
Key Features
- Flexible Power Passthrough: Supports PoE passthrough to connected devices. If the downstream device does not support PoE, passthrough can be disabled manually by removing the onboard jumpers.
- GPEN Integration: Designed to work seamlessly within the GPEN ecosystem to distribute power and data across long distances, ideal for high-rise residential or commercial buildings.
- Plug-and-Play: Simple installation without complex configuration, making it a highly accessible tool for installers and network operators.
- Compact & Robust: Engineered for professional environments with a wide operating temperature range suitable for various indoor conditions.
Note: For outdoor deployments, the GPeR-IP67-Case is recommended to provide necessary environmental protection.
