The MikroTik MT48-570080-11DG is a specialized 57V 0.8A power supply developed for long-distance Ethernet and PoE installations. MikroTik positions it as part of its GPEN – Gigabit Passive Ethernet Network – concept, where standard Ethernet equipment, GPeR repeaters and netPower devices can be used to distribute connectivity over longer copper cable runs. (mikrotik.com)
With an output of 57V at 0.8A, the adapter provides approximately 45.6W. Its higher 57V operating voltage is particularly useful for longer PoE cable runs because it maintains a better downstream power budget than lower-voltage alternatives in MikroTik's GPEN examples.
MikroTik currently lists the MT48-570080-11DG at an official suggested price of US$12. It remains part of MikroTik's current accessories catalogue together with the 48V MT48-480095-11DG alternative. (mikrotik.com)
MikroTik officially describes the MT48-570080-11DG as a 57V, 0.8A power supply for long Ethernet cable runs and specifically states that it enables the use of multiple GPeR units. (mikrotik.com)
What Is MikroTik MT48-570080-11DG?The MT48-570080-11DG is a dedicated power source for extended Ethernet distribution systems.
A typical installation may look like:
AC mains → MT48-570080-11DG → GPEN injector → Ethernet cable → GPeR → Ethernet cable → GPeR → netPower/device
The adapter itself does not repeat Ethernet data. Instead, its purpose is to provide the electrical power that GPEN devices and compatible PoE equipment use over the Ethernet cabling.
This distinction is important because the MT48-570080-11DG has no networking interface, switching function or RouterOS configuration.
Key Features of MikroTik MT48-570080-11DGThe adapter delivers 57V DC, which is at the upper end of the voltage range supported by several MikroTik PoE and GPEN products. (mikrotik.com)
This higher voltage is useful when power must travel over long Ethernet cable runs because voltage drop becomes more significant as cable distance increases.
The power supply delivers up to 0.8A.
Its nominal output capacity is:
57V × 0.8A = 45.6W
MikroTik's official GPEN documentation identifies the MT48-570080-11DG as a 45.6W adapter.
This is not simply a replacement router adapter.
MikroTik specifically designed the MT48-570080-11DG so installers can use:
Long Ethernet cable runs
Multiple GPeR units
GPEN distribution systems
netPower equipment
Long-distance PoE applications
MikroTik currently lists GPeR IP67 Case, GPEN11, GPeR, netPower 15FR, GPEN21 and netPower Lite 7R as related products for the MT48-570080-11DG.
4. Part of MikroTik GPENGPEN stands for Gigabit Passive Ethernet Network.
MikroTik developed GPEN as an Ethernet-based distribution architecture aimed at giving ISPs a simpler alternative to some GPON-style deployments. Instead of requiring an optical network terminal at every customer site, GPEN can use Ethernet, GPeR repeaters, netPower switches and customer-side power injection.
The MT48-570080-11DG plays an important role because the power provided at the customer's end can travel along Ethernet cabling to power intermediate repeaters and downstream equipment.
5. Works with MikroTik GPeRThe MikroTik GPeR is a Gigabit Passive Ethernet Repeater designed to extend Ethernet beyond a normal cable segment.
MikroTik states that one GPeR can provide an additional less than approximately 100–150 metres to a conventional network device, while the distance between two GPeR units can reach approximately 210 metres, depending on cable quality. Multiple GPeR units can be used for much longer links. (mikrotik.com)
The GPeR accepts 24–57V PoE input, which makes the MT48-570080-11DG's 57V output particularly well suited to extended GPeR deployments. (mikrotik.com)
6. Better Long-Distance Power BudgetOne of the most important advantages of MT48-570080-11DG is visible in MikroTik's GPEN design examples.
MikroTik compares 24V, 48V and 57V sources over different cable distances. In the published examples, the 57V 0.8A supply retains more useful PoE-out power at longer distances than the 48V 0.95A option.
These are MikroTik GPEN planning examples rather than guaranteed field results. Actual power availability depends on cable resistance, cable quality, connector losses, equipment consumption and installation conditions.
7. Can Support a 500-Metre Example LinkMikroTik's GPEN guide shows a 500-metre example using three GPeR units with a 57V supply. In that scenario, netPower remains powered and approximately 3.5–7W may still be available for downstream PoE-out.
This is one area where the 57V adapter outperforms the 48V 0.95A MT48 supply in MikroTik's example calculations.
The 48V version can still power netPower at the 500-metre example distance, but MikroTik lists no remaining PoE-out budget there.
8. Suitable for Multi-Building NetworksThe MT48-570080-11DG can be useful where network cabling must travel through:
Apartment blocks
Hotels
Schools
Universities
Warehouses
Office compounds
Industrial sites
High-rise buildings
CCTV networks
WISP distribution networks
Rural internet installations
The GPeR itself is specifically promoted by MikroTik for high-rise and multi-apartment environments where conventional Ethernet cable distances can become a challenge. (mikrotik.com)
9. Useful for CCTV and Access-Point NetworksExtended Ethernet links are often required where IP cameras, wireless access points or remote switches sit several hundred metres from the main network room.
With properly designed GPEN infrastructure, the MT48-570080-11DG can supply power through multiple GPeR hops while leaving some power available at the destination.
The available PoE budget must always be calculated before selecting the final camera, access point or radio.
10. No RouterOS or Configuration RequiredThe adapter is purely electrical.
It has:
No RouterOS
No SwOS
No Ethernet port
No SFP port
No CPU
No IP address
No web interface
No firmware
No WinBox configuration
No software setup is needed.

Cable resistance, conductor quality, connector condition, number of repeaters and equipment load all affect actual results.
In MikroTik's 57V example, approximately 3.5–7W remains available for PoE-out after three GPeR units over about 500 metres.
Approximately 10–14W in MikroTik's example with two GPeR units.
Approximately 17.5–18.5W with one GPeR in the published GPEN example.
Approximately 19.5–20.5W in MikroTik's example without an intermediate GPeR.
For MikroTik's published GPEN examples, yes. The 57V source retains more usable downstream PoE power at longer distances than the 48V 0.95A supply.
For the same power level, a higher voltage means lower current. Lower current reduces resistive losses in the cable, which becomes increasingly important over long cable runs.

The adapter can be sourced through MikroTik networking suppliers. When buying, specify the complete model MT48-570080-11DG and verify that the supplied unit is the 57V 0.8A version, not the visually similar 48V 0.95A model.
Installing MikroTik MT48-570080-11DGBefore installing the adapter, determine the total Ethernet distance, number of GPeR repeaters and power requirement at the far end. MikroTik's GPEN examples demonstrate that the available downstream PoE budget decreases as cable distance and the number of GPeR units increase.
Use good-quality solid-copper Ethernet cable and properly terminated connectors. MikroTik specifies up to around 100 metres between the power source/router and GPeR under normal conditions, potentially around 150 metres with high-quality cable, and up to approximately 210 metres between GPeR units depending on cable quality.
For outdoor, rooftop or inter-building installations, also include suitable surge protection, grounding and weatherproofing. The 57V adapter improves the available long-distance power budget, but it cannot compensate for poor cabling, damaged connectors or an improperly engineered PoE system.
The MikroTik MT48-570080-11DG is a specialized 57V 0.8A, 45.6W power supply designed for long Ethernet and GPEN installations. It works particularly well with MikroTik products such as GPeR, GPEN11, GPEN21 and netPower, allowing installers to distribute Ethernet and power across significantly longer copper cable runs than a normal single Ethernet segment.
Its biggest advantage over the 48V 0.95A MT48 adapter is its higher operating voltage. MikroTik's own GPEN planning examples show the 57V supply maintaining approximately 10–14W at 310 metres and 3.5–7W even in a 500-metre, three-GPeR example, giving installers more flexibility when downstream equipment also requires PoE power.
