MikroTik G1040A 60W PoE Injector Gigabit 802.3bt 56V

The MikroTik G1040A is a single-port 802.3bt PoE++ injector — the highest standard in the 802.3 PoE family, delivering up to 60W of power over a single Gigabit Ethernet cable. It is a power delivery device, not a switch or router. Its function is to combine a 100–240V AC power input with a Gigabit Ethernet data connection and deliver both over a single Cat5e or better cable to a powered device at the far end — up to the distance and current limits of the cable run.

The 802.3bt standard covers three distinct PoE tiers, and the G1040A supports all of them through auto-negotiation:

- **802.3af (PoE):** Up to 15.4W at the injector, 12.95W at the powered device — for standard PoE devices including basic access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and small switches

- **802.3at (PoE+):** Up to 30W at the injector, 25.5W at the powered device — for higher-draw devices including 802.11ac APs, PTZ cameras, and PoE-powered computers

- **802.3bt (PoE++):** Up to 60W at the injector, 51W at the powered device — for high-draw devices including 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 APs, multi-radio APs, outdoor units with heating elements, PoE-powered displays, and any device that exceeds the 30W 802.3at ceiling

The auto-sensing negotiation means the G1040A delivers exactly the power level the connected device requests — it does not force 60W to a device that only requires 15W. A MikroTik device drawing 8W (such as the NetBox 5 ax at 9W max) receives 8W from the G1040A. A device drawing 34W (such as the cAP LTE12 ax at 34W max with attachments) receives 34W. The G1040A adapts to the powered device's requirement across the full 802.3af/at/bt range — making it a universal PoE injector for the entire MikroTik product line and any third-party 802.3af/at/bt powered device.

The 56V output voltage is the standard 802.3bt output — higher than the 48V commonly used in 802.3at injectors. 56V allows the G1040A to maintain compliant power delivery at the powered device end of a longer cable run, where resistive cable loss reduces the delivered voltage. For outdoor installations where the cable run from the indoor injector to the outdoor mounting point is 30–80 metres, the 56V output provides meaningful voltage headroom against cable loss compared to a 48V injector at the same current.

The 100–240V AC input range covers every standard AC supply voltage globally — Canadian 120V AC, European 230V AC, and all voltages between — without requiring a voltage selector switch or a separate power supply for international deployments. The power adapter plug type for Canadian use should be confirmed with your MikroTik distributor — the G1040A ships with a plug type appropriate for the target market.

The G1040A is a passive add-to-cart alongside any MikroTik PoE-in device in your catalogue. Every MikroTik outdoor unit, ceiling AP, and IoT gateway in this product batch that uses 802.3af/at PoE-in benefits from the G1040A as the PoE power source when a PoE switch is not present at the installation location. At USD 29.00, it is a standard accessory purchase — buyers who add a NetBox 5 ax, cAP LTE12 ax, LHG LTE18, or KNOT LR8G to their cart should see the G1040A as a recommended accessory on each of those product pages.

CE and RoHS certifications are confirmed. No IC certification is listed — for a passive PoE injector with no wireless transmitter, IC certification requirements are substantially different from active wireless devices. Confirm with your distributor for Canadian regulatory compliance.
