Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does this MicroUSB PoE Splitter do?
A: This PoE splitter takes 48V Power over Ethernet input from a PoE switch or injector and converts it to a stable 5V MicroUSB output, allowing you to power MicroUSB-compatible devices through your existing Ethernet cable — no wall outlet needed at the device end.
Q: Is this PoE splitter compatible with Gigabit Ethernet networks?
A: Yes. This splitter fully supports 10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit) Ethernet networks, passing data at full Gigabit speeds while simultaneously delivering 5V power via MicroUSB.
Q: What devices can I power with this 48V to 5V PoE splitter?
A: Any device that charges or operates via a MicroUSB 5V connection can be powered — including Raspberry Pi and other single-board computers, small IP cameras, Android-based devices, wireless access points, and various smart home modules.
Q: Do I need a special PoE switch to use this module?
A: You need a PoE switch or PoE injector that delivers 48V (IEEE 802.3af standard). Most commercial and prosumer PoE switches are compatible. Passive PoE injectors delivering 48V also work with this splitter.
