SMUGDESK Active PoE Splitter IEEE 802.3af 48V to 5V 2.4A
Converts 48 V PoE to stable 5 V 2.4 A output, separating data and power for IP cameras or Raspberry Pi devices
- Converts 48 V PoE to 5 V 2.4 A output
- IEEE 802.3 af compliant active negotiation with PoE switch
- Separates power and data over one Ethernet cable
- Compact housing for simple indoor installation
- Compatible with IP cameras, Raspberry Pi and other 5 V devices
Active PoE Splitter for 5V Devices
This active PoE splitter converts 48V PoE input into a stable 5V 2.4A DC output while separating data onto a dedicated port. It targets installers powering IP cameras, Raspberry Pi boards or similar 5V smart devices from a standard IEEE 802.3af switch or injector. The unit removes the need for a local AC adapter at the device location.
Compact Housing with Auto-Negotiation
A lightweight enclosure allows desktop placement or simple fixture mounting in indoor environments. Built-in intelligent protection guards against overcurrent, overvoltage and short-circuit conditions during operation. The active negotiation design performs an automatic handshake with the PoE source before delivering power, ensuring safe startup for connected equipment.
Replaces Separate Power Supplies for Low-Power Gear
This splitter replaces an individual wall wart and its mains cable when a compliant PoE infrastructure already exists. The jump is worthwhile for devices drawing up to 2.4A at 5V where running a single Ethernet cable is simpler than adding a power outlet. Buyers whose endpoints need higher current or a different voltage cannot use this model.

Questions about this item
What IEEE 802.3af standard does the splitter follow and what output does it cap at?
It follows IEEE 802.3af and caps the output at a steady 5V 2.4A DC after negotiating with the PoE switch.
What physical space and mounting does the compact housing need?
The lightweight housing fits on a desktop or can be fixed with simple fixtures, needing only room for the Ethernet and DC cables.
How is it installed and which step do users often miss?
Connect the PoE switch to the splitter input, then run data and 5V power cables to the device; the step often missed is confirming the source is IEEE 802.3af compliant and the load stays within 2.4A.
