In this kit, the \u003cstrong\u003ecombiner\u003c\/strong\u003e plugs into your router\/switch and a DC power supply, merging both signals onto one Cat5e\/Cat6 cable. The \u003cstrong\u003esplitter\u003c\/strong\u003e at the far end then separates the power and data, feeding each to your device. It's a simple, cost-effective solution for powering IP cameras, access points, and similar networked equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Is this kit compatible with active PoE (802.3af\/at) switches?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: This is a \u003cstrong\u003epassive\u003c\/strong\u003e PoE kit and does not perform IEEE 802.3af\/at negotiation. It should not be connected directly to an active PoE switch output, as voltage mismatches can occur. It is designed for use with a separate DC power supply of the correct voltage for your end device.
