Overview
A high-rise or multi-apartment building with floors and sections too far apart for one cable run is where the MikroTik GPeR earns its keep. Placed inline, it extends a gigabit Ethernet cable by another hop and can pass power through to the next device.
Network installers get a way to bridge long cable runs without a powered switch at every hop, since it runs on PoE and can pass power along. Distances depend on cable quality, and the listing gives no details on enclosure, mounting or included accessories.
Who it's for
Suited to installers and building managers linking floors, sections or outbuildings with long Ethernet runs. Homeowners chasing weak WiFi need a wireless extender instead.
Pros and cons
- Chain units for very long runs
- Gigabit speed per hop
- Powered over PoE at the hop
- PoE passes through to the next device
- Distances depend on cable quality
- Enclosure and accessories not listed
- Jumpers must be removed by hand
- Wired only, no WiFi
Performance notes
Each hop's reach depends on the quality of the Ethernet cable, with longer runs allowed between two repeaters than from the router. Power arrives over PoE and can pass through to the destination device, or be cut by removing the jumpers when that device cannot accept it.
