48V to 12V PoE Splitter Waterproof Adapter Power Module
48V to 12V PoE Splitter Waterproof Adapter Power Module
48V to 12V PoE Splitter — Waterproof Power Supply Module for IP Cameras
Simplify your IP camera installation with this 48V to 12V PoE Splitter Waterproof Adapter. Designed to work seamlessly with a standard PoE switch, this compact module splits Power over Ethernet (PoE) into both a data signal and a stable 12V DC output — eliminating the need for a separate power supply at each camera location.
Built from durable ABS housing with a weatherproof, splash-resistant design, this splitter is equally at home in indoor network closets or outdoor surveillance installations. A single network cable is all you need to deliver both data and power to your IP camera, dramatically cutting cable runs and deployment costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the 48V to 12V PoE Splitter Waterproof Adapter do?
A: This PoE splitter connects to a standard 48V PoE switch or injector and splits the incoming Power over Ethernet signal into two outputs: a standard Ethernet data connection and a 12V DC power output. This allows you to power a 12V IP camera using only a single Ethernet cable run, with no need for a separate power supply at the camera end.
Q: Is this PoE splitter suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes. The module features a waterproof and splash-resistant ABS housing, making it suitable for outdoor surveillance installations where exposure to moisture, rain, or humidity is a concern. Always ensure the connector joints are properly sealed for maximum weather resistance.
Q: Which cameras and devices are compatible with this PoE splitter?
A: This splitter is designed for standard 12V DC IP cameras commonly used in CCTV and home security systems. It is compatible with PoE switches and injectors that comply with the 48V IEEE 802.3af/at standard. Always verify your camera's power input requirements before connecting.
Q: How does this splitter help reduce installation costs?
A: By delivering both power and data over a single Ethernet cable, you eliminate the need to run a separate power cable to each camera location. This reduces material costs, labor time, and overall wiring complexity — making it a smart, budget-friendly choice for multi-camera installations.
