MikroTik RBGPOE Gigabit PoE Adapter

The MikroTik RBGPOE Gigabit PoE Adapter is a compact passive PoE injector designed for powering compatible MikroTik RouterBOARD devices through a Gigabit Ethernet connection. It allows network data and electrical power to travel through the same Ethernet cable, helping installers reduce cabling and simplify installations where the powered MikroTik device is located away from a convenient electrical socket.

The RBGPOE is particularly useful for wireless ISPs, network technicians, CCTV installers, businesses and contractors installing MikroTik equipment on rooftops, towers, poles, ceilings and other locations where separate power cabling would make the installation more complicated.

Unlike MikroTik's basic RBPOE intended for 10/100Mbps installations, the RBGPOE is specifically designed for Gigabit Ethernet products. MikroTik specifies an input voltage range of 18–57V, with the output voltage remaining the same as the input voltage. It also uses shielded Ethernet connectors, making it suitable for professional network installations using shielded cabling.

Key Features of the MikroTik RBGPOE

• Compact and lightweight design

• Helps reduce installation cabling

• Suitable for indoor and outdoor network deployments

• Simple plug-and-use installation

Gigabit Ethernet Support

One of the major benefits of the MikroTik RBGPOE is its support for Gigabit Ethernet.

Modern wireless access points, routers and other network devices increasingly require connections faster than 100Mbps. Using a Fast Ethernet PoE injector on a Gigabit-capable device can create an unnecessary network bottleneck even when the RouterBOARD itself supports much higher data rates.

The RBGPOE allows compatible MikroTik equipment to maintain a Gigabit wired connection while also receiving power through the Ethernet cable.

This makes it particularly useful for broadband networks where customers may have internet packages above 100Mbps or where network traffic between devices requires Gigabit capacity.

Passive PoE Operation

The MikroTik RBGPOE is a passive PoE injector.

It should not automatically be treated as an IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at negotiating PoE injector. The voltage supplied to the injector is passed to the connected compatible device, which is why it is important to check the supported input voltage of the RouterBOARD before installation.

MikroTik specifies the RBGPOE for RouterBOARD products supporting 18–57V, with power carried on pins 4 and 5 and return on pins 7 and 8.

Correct voltage matching protects the equipment and helps ensure reliable operation.

Shielded Ethernet Connectors

The RBGPOE includes shielded Ethernet connectors.

Shielding can be particularly useful in professional outdoor installations where shielded Ethernet cable is used as part of the grounding and electrical protection strategy.

Wireless ISP installations often place equipment on rooftops, towers and poles where proper cable selection and grounding practices are important.

The PoE injector alone should not be treated as lightning protection. Suitable surge protection, grounding and installation practices should still be followed according to the environment and equipment being installed.

Reduced Cabling for Outdoor Equipment

One of the practical advantages of PoE is the ability to avoid running a separate electrical cable to the powered device.

For example, a MikroTik outdoor wireless radio can be mounted high on a rooftop or tower while the RBGPOE remains indoors near the network switch or router.

A single Ethernet cable then carries both the network connection and power to the compatible device.

This keeps installations cleaner and can make maintenance easier because technicians can access the power source without climbing to the outdoor radio.

Best Uses for MikroTik RBGPOE

The MikroTik RBGPOE is suitable for:

• Wireless ISP deployments

• MikroTik outdoor radios

• Point-to-point wireless links

• Point-to-multipoint networks

• Rooftop installations

• Tower installations

• MikroTik access points

• CCTV networking projects

• Enterprise wireless installations

• Remote RouterBOARD equipment

• Network cabinet installations

Businesses planning larger MikroTik networks can also use OrbitLink Solutions for professional network design, installation and enterprise networking support.

Who Should Buy the RBGPOE?

The RBGPOE is ideal for anyone installing compatible MikroTik equipment that supports passive PoE within the required voltage range and needs a Gigabit Ethernet connection.

It is particularly useful for technicians upgrading from older 100Mbps equipment to newer Gigabit-capable RouterBOARD devices.

Before buying, check the voltage requirements of the device being powered. Do not connect an unsupported device simply because it has an Ethernet port.
