GESP is Gigabit Ethernet Surge Protector that can be used to protect the network from lightning or surge damages.

Here’s what a typical use-case would be like. You have a mast with some antennas. And some switches on the ground. Put the GESP surge protectors on each end. They come sealed inside a new and improved IP67 weatherproof enclosure. Your antennas are now safe during a lightning storm.

You can’t buy safety, but you can buy MikroTik devices to keep your setup safe. Take a look at the GESP product line. It consists of a new revision of the classic MikroTik GESP surge protector and a brand new device – the GESP+POE-IN, a passive PoE injector with surge protection. Together these two devices offer maximum security and peace of mind.

Here’s what a typical use-case would be like. You have a mast with some antennas. And some switches on the ground. Put the GESP surge protector up there. It comes sealed inside a new and improved IP67 weatherproof enclosure. Your antennas are now safe during a lightning storm. Now add the GESP+POE-IN injector below the mast - to protect the switches and to power the antennas.

I have a couple of customers out in a community that is off the grid. They power their equipment through inverters and generals/solar panels.

I've had two customers contact me after a storm both with equipment that burnt up.

The one just had his router power supply fry. (burnt a hole right through the plastic case. The other one burnt the mikrotik Poe and power supply.

The line is buried directly in the ground for a couple hundred feet on the pictured one. Both places are very close to eachother, a few hundred meters.

We are thinking it was due to lightning somehow.. But we're not sure. Any thoughts?
