Gigabit 802.3af PoE Splitter — converts a single PoE Ethernet feed into a 5V DC power output and a gigabit RJ45 data port so nonPoE devices can be powered and networked over one cable. Key benefits Reduces wall plugs and cable clutter by delivering both power and data over a single Ethernet cable. Extends power and network access up to 300 feet from the power source, enabling installation where AC outlets are unavailable. Keeps full gigabit network performance while supplying 5V DC power to connected devices. Simple compatibility: works with IEEE 802.3af PoE sources so you can use existing PoE switches or injectors. Important specifications and behavior PoE standard: IEEE 802.3af compliant (requires an 802.3af PoE switch or injector as the PSE). Output power: 5V DC output at up to 3A. Network: Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 data output. Charge protocols: This splitter does not support PD or fastcharging protocols. After splitting: the RJ45/data cable becomes dataonly and does not carry power; the separate DC output carries the power. If you do not need data, you can set the split Ethernet aside—power will be provided via the DC lead. Compatibility and requirements Requires a PoEcapable Ethernet cable connected to an IEEE 802.3af PSE (PoE switch or PoE injector). Provides a 5V power feed for nonPoE devices that accept 5V DC and a standard gigabit Ethernet connection for data. Does not enable fastcharge or USB Power Delivery functions; only standard 5V/3A output is available. Typical applications Power and network singleboard computers, IoT gateways, or small networked devices that require 5V and Ethernet connectivity in locations without nearby AC power. Install and feed nonPoE cameras, sensors, or remote access points while preserving gigabit network speeds. Provide network and 5V power to remote monitoring or embedded systems up to 300 feet from the PoE source. Installation notes Connect a PoEenabled Ethernet cable from an IEEE 802.3af switch or injector to the splitter's input. Use the splitter's RJ45 output for network/data and the DC output to power your 5V device. If network data is unnecessary, the split Ethernet lead can be left unused; it will no longer carry power after the splitter. What this product does not do It does not support PD (Power Delivery) or fast charging protocols. It will not create PoE from a nonPoE switch; a PoEcapable PSE is required. Performance summary Delivers a compliant 802.3af solution with up to 3A at 5V and full gigabit Ethernet throughput, enabling reliable powering and networking of nonPoE 5V devices over a single Ethernet run.
