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

The GPeR unit allows to extend Ethernet cable by 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, multi-apartment buildings, with many floors and sections, where very long ethernet cables might be a problem.

Maximium allowed length of CAT6 Ethernet cable between GPeR and power source/router is up to 100 m (depending on cable quality, high quality - up to 150 m). Maximium allowed distance of CAT6 Ethernet cable between two GPeR devices is up to 210 m (depending on cable quality).
