  • Converts 48V PoE to stable 5V 2.4A microUSB power
  • Single CAT5e/CAT6 cable delivers data and power up to 100 meters
  • Powers Raspberry Pi 2/3B+, Dropcam, tablets and microUSB IoT devices
  • Built-in overvoltage, overcurrent and short-circuit protection safeguards hardware
  • Plug-and-play setup needs no drivers or configuration for instant operation

PoE Splitter for Micro-USB Devices

This active splitter converts 48V PoE input into regulated 5V 2.4A output through a microUSB connector. It targets makers and installers powering Raspberry Pi 2 or 3B+, Dropcam units, tablets or similar microUSB IoT hardware. The module draws both data and power from a single Ethernet cable connected to compliant PoE infrastructure.

100 Metre Cable Limit and 802.3af Power Budget

One CAT5e or CAT6 run carries network traffic and DC power up to 100 metres, matching the IEEE 802.3af distance specification. The splitter accepts 4457V DC from the PoE source and regulates it down to 5V, so the available current stays within the 2.4A rating defined by the standard. Devices needing higher current or voltage cannot be supported by this adapter.

Protection Circuitry and Plug-and-Play Simplicity

Onboard safeguards guard against overvoltage, overcurrent and short-circuit events during continuous operation. No drivers, firmware or configuration steps are required; the unit activates as soon as the PoE source, Ethernet cable and target device are connected. The microUSB output fixes the connector choice, so hardware using USB-C, barrel jacks or proprietary power inputs will need a different solution.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 5V 2.4A micro USB version or a different output option?

This model only provides 5V at 2.4A through its micro USB port, so there is no alternative output version to choose from.

What does the 2.4A rating actually deliver when I plug in a Raspberry Pi 3B+?

It supplies up to 2.4A of regulated 5V power, enough to run a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with typical peripherals attached.

The 802.3af standard is mentioned — what does that limit in practice?

It caps the input at 4457V DC and the output at 5V 2.4A, with a maximum cable run of 100 meters over CAT5e or CAT6.
