FAQs
Q1: What is the MikroTik GPeR used for?
A: The GPeR is a Gigabit Passive Ethernet repeater. It lets you extend your Ethernet runs by another “hop,” useful in tall buildings or long‑haul cable deployments.
Q2: How far can you run Ethernet with the GPeR?
A: You can run Cat‑6 Ethernet up to 100 m (or up to 150 m with high‑quality cable) from the power source or router to the GPeR, and up to 210 m between two GPeR units. In total, it supports extensions up to around 1,500 m.
Q3: What are the PoE capabilities of the GPeR?
A: It supports PoE in via 802.3af/at or passive PoE (24–57 V). It also provides PoE out — you can disable the passthrough if the destination device doesn’t need power by removing jumpers.
Q4: What Ethernet ports and data rates does the GPeR support?
A: It has two Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbps) Ethernet ports, acting as a transparent Ethernet bridge so that devices function as if directly connected.
Q5: What environmental conditions can the GPeR handle?
A: It operates in a wide temperature range, from –40 °C to +70 °C, but note that it is not weatherproof in its default form — for outdoor use, a separate IP‑rated enclosure is recommended.
