This IEEE 802.3af PoE splitter separates power and data from a single PoE Ethernet cable, providing regulated 12VDC at up to 1A on a standard 2.1 mm DC barrel jack alongside a standard Ethernet data connection. It lets you power non-PoE devices over Ethernet without running separate power cables.

The splitter accepts 44–57V PoE input and supports 10/100 Mbps data transmission. It works with any 802.3af-compliant PoE switch, injector, or router.

Key Features

  • IEEE 802.3af Compliant – Works with standard PoE switches and injectors
  • Regulated 12V Output – Up to 1A on a 2.1 mm DC barrel jack
  • 10/100 Mbps Data – Passes through Ethernet data alongside power
  • Wide Input Range – 44–57V PoE input
  • Simple Installation – Splits one PoE cable into separate data and power connections

Ideal For

  • Powering Raspberry Pi or Arduino over Ethernet
  • IP cameras and access points without dedicated power
  • Remote sensor installations
  • Simplifying wiring for networked devices
Warning: For use only with true IEEE 802.3af PoE sources. Do not use with passive PoE injectors.

Package Contents

  • 1× 802.3af PoE Splitter (12V 1A output)

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

DC barrel jack
A round power connector commonly used for low-voltage DC power supplies, often described by its outer and inner diameters such as 5.5 x 2.1 mm. Matching the barrel size and polarity is important so the plug physically fits and powers the device correctly.
PoE
Power over Ethernet lets one Ethernet cable carry both network data and electrical power. This is useful when installing a device where running a separate power adaptor would be difficult.
