RB-GPOE-USB specification sheet

Overview:

The MikroTik Gigabit PoE to USB-C Adapter, part number RB-GPOE-USB, is designed to solve power delivery challenges in locations where electrical outlets are unavailable or difficult to reach. This compact device allows you to supply stable 5 V power directly from a standard Power over Ethernet (PoE) source to USB-C and low-voltage DC devices without the need for local wall adapters. By converting incoming PoE signals, it maintains a robust 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet passthrough connection, ensuring that data transmission remains fast and reliable alongside power delivery.

Description:

This versatile adapter delivers up to approximately 15 W of output power, making it capable of handling more demanding loads than standard mass-market converters. It is an ideal solution for mounting devices on walls or in remote areas, supporting a wide range of applications including IoT sensors, air quality monitors, and home automation controllers. The unit includes a dedicated DC terminal output that expands compatibility to 2-pin low-voltage devices beyond just USB-C interfaces.

Features:
