PoE Splitter 48V to 5V 2.4A Gigabit Isolation Power Module
PoE Splitter 48V to 5V 2.4A Gigabit Isolation Power Module
Power your non-PoE devices effortlessly with this Gigabit PoE Splitter. Designed to convert 48V Power over Ethernet input down to a clean, stable 5V / 2.4A DC output, this compact isolation module lets you run USB-powered devices, Raspberry Pi boards, routers, cameras, and other low-voltage electronics — all directly from a PoE-enabled network switch or injector. No additional power adapter or wall outlet required.
The built-in galvanic isolation separates the input and output circuits, protecting your connected devices from voltage spikes and electrical noise on the network line. Whether you're building a smart home setup, deploying IP surveillance cameras, or expanding a network installation, this splitter keeps your equipment running cleanly and reliably.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does a PoE Splitter 48V to 5V do?
A: A PoE splitter takes the high-voltage (48V) Power over Ethernet signal from a PoE switch or injector and splits it into two outputs: a standard Ethernet data connection and a regulated 5V DC power output. This allows you to power devices that don't natively support PoE — such as Raspberry Pi boards, mini PCs, or USB-powered cameras — directly through your existing network cable, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter.
Q: Is this PoE splitter compatible with my PoE switch?
A: Yes — this module is compatible with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE switches and injectors operating at 48V. It supports full Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps) speeds, so your network performance is not affected. Simply connect your PoE switch to the input port and your device to the output port and power connector.
Q: What is isolation in a PoE splitter, and why does it matter?
A: Galvanic isolation electronically separates the input circuit (48V PoE side) from the output circuit (5V device side). This prevents voltage spikes, ground loops, and electrical noise from traveling from the network line into your connected device — protecting sensitive electronics and improving stability in longer cable runs or shared electrical environments.
Q: What devices can I power with the 5V 2.4A output?
A: Any device that operates on 5V DC and draws up to 2.4A (12W) can be powered, including Raspberry Pi 3/4, IP cameras, small routers, access points, Arduino boards, and other USB-powered or 5V-input electronics.
