MikroTik Gigabit Passive Ethernet Repeater (GPeR)

Description

The MikroTik Gigabit Passive Ethernet Repeater (GPeR) is an innovative solution designed to extend Ethernet connections over long distances.  This makes it ideal for high-rise and multi-apartment buildings where extensive cabling can be challenging. As part of MikroTik’s GPEN (Gigabit Passive Ethernet Network) concept, the GPeR offers a cost-effective and straightforward alternative to traditional GPON installations.

Key Features:

• Extended Ethernet Reach: The GPeR enables Ethernet cable extension by an additional segment of up to 100–150 meters to standard network devices and up to 210 meters when connected to another GPeR unit. This capability allows for a total Ethernet extension of up to 1,500 meters, depending on cable quality and network configuration.

• Power over Ethernet (PoE) Support: The device supports PoE input through 802.3af/at or passive PoE with an input voltage range of 24–57 V. It features jumper-selectable passive PoE passthrough, allowing for flexible power management across connected devices.

• Robust Design: Built to withstand various environmental conditions.  The GPeR operates efficiently within a temperature range of -40°C to 70°C, ensuring reliable performance in diverse settings.

Specifications:

• Product Code: GPeR

• Ethernet Ports: 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports

• PoE Input: 802.3af/at or Passive PoE (24–57 V)

• PoE Output: Jumper-selectable passive PoE passthrough

• Maximum Power Consumption: 2 W

• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 70°C

The GPeR is particularly useful in scenarios where long Ethernet cables are impractical. In high-rise buildings or large apartment complexes, the GPeR facilitates network expansion without the need for complex cabling infrastructure. By connecting multiple GPeR units, users can achieve significant Ethernet extension ensuring seamless connectivity across extensive areas.

The MikroTik Gigabit Passive Ethernet Repeater (GPeR) is a versatile and reliable solution for extending Ethernet networks over long distances. Its support for PoE, robust design, and ease of deployment make it an excellent choice for network professionals seeking efficient and cost-effective networking solutions.
