802.3af POE Splitter for 12V/0.67A Non-POE Devices

Power Over Ethernet Active Splitter with Isolation 802.3af , Output 12VDC at 1A 12W

The active POE Splitter gives "carrier class" performance in a low cost system. With its IEEE 802.3af compatibility and advanced auto-sensing algorithm it will accept POE power from any IEEE 802.3af router or power supply. The overload and short circuit protection will shut down power immediately when a short circuit is detected without any damage to the POE system. Power (36 to 60V) is expected on ethernet pins 4/5 (V+) and 7/8 (V-) as per the IEEE 802.3af standard or pins 1,2,3,6 (Cisco Standard).

Using power over Ethernet to power remote devices has several advantages including:

• The power supply can be centrally located where it can be attached to an uninterruptible power supply.
• Power can be supplied over long distances, up to 300 feet.
• Power can be available wherever network access is available
• The user has the ability to easily power on reset the attached equipment from a remote location.

The Active POE Splitter is used to supply power to remote equipment and devices without built in POE functionality. These devices are a good fit for the industrial market for sensing and remote video applications.

Note that you need a POE injector (or a POE switch) to inject power to the CAT5 cable so that this POE splitter can connect to that cable and power non-POE devices. See below for suitable POE injectors.
