MikroTik GPER – Gigabit Passive Ethernet Repeater

The Gigabit Passive Ethernet Repeater (GPeR) is part of MikroTik’s new GPEN (Gigabit Passive Ethernet Network) concept, which aims to replace GPON installations with lower cost and more easy to deploy Ethernet alternatives.

The GPeR unit allows to extend the Ethernet cable by an additional hop (<100 – 150 m to regular network devices, and up to 210 m to another GPeR unit) up to 1,500 m. Handy for highrise buildings like multi-apartment buildings with many floors and sections where very long Ethernet cables might be a problem.

The maximium allowed length of Cat. 6 Ethernet cables between GPeR and power source/router is up to 100 m (depending on the cable quality, high quality – up to 150 m).

The maximium allowed distance of Cat. 6 Ethernet cables between two GPeR devices is up to 210 m (depending on the cable quality).
