Description
PoE Splitter How It Works
- Input: It connects to an incoming Ethernet cable that carries both data and electrical power (usually 48V).
- The Handshake: It communicates with the PoE switch or injector, confirming that a load is connected so power can be safely delivered.
- Separation: It splits the line into a standard Ethernet cable (data-only) and a low-voltage DC power cable (e.g., 12V or 5V). [1, 2, 3]
Common Use Cases
- IP Security Cameras: Powering a non-PoE CCTV camera placed on an exterior wall without nearby electrical outlets.
- Wireless Access Points: Placing Wi-Fi routers in optimal central locations.
- VoIP Phones: Operating office desk phones that only have standard DC power inputs.
