USB-C PoE Splitter — Power Any USB-C Device Over Ethernet
The USB-C PoE Splitter is a compact, plug-and-play networking accessory that converts 48V Power over Ethernet (PoE) into a stable 5V USB Type-C output. Running at 100Mbps Fast Ethernet, it lets you simultaneously deliver data and power to USB-C devices — no extra power adapter or wall outlet required. Ideal for IP cameras, Raspberry Pi boards, smart displays, media players, and any USB-C powered device you want to connect to a PoE network.
Key Features
- PoE Input: 48V IEEE 802.3af-compatible PoE input via standard RJ45 Ethernet port
- USB-C Output: Regulated 5V DC output through a USB Type-C connector — no adapters needed
- 100Mbps Fast Ethernet: Passes through a full 100Mbps data connection while splitting power
- Passive & Active PoE Support: Works with both active (802.3af) and passive 48V PoE injectors/switches
- Compact Module Design: Small form factor — easy to mount, tuck away, or integrate into an enclosure
- Wide Compatibility: Powers Raspberry Pi, IP cameras, streaming sticks, smart sensors, and other 5V USB-C devices
- Reliable Build: Stable voltage regulation ensures consistent, protected power delivery
- Plug-and-Play: No software, drivers, or configuration required — ready to use immediately

How It Works
Simply connect your PoE-enabled switch or injector to the splitter's RJ45 input. The module separates the power from the data signal — delivering 5V USB-C power to your device while passing the 100Mbps Ethernet data signal through a second RJ45 port to your connected device. It's a clean, cable-managed solution for powering USB-C devices in locations where running a separate power cable isn't practical.
Perfect For
- Powering Raspberry Pi or single-board computers via PoE
- IP security cameras and smart home sensors
- Network-connected digital signage and displays
- Remote or hard-to-reach installations where power outlets are unavailable
- Clean cable management in office or home network setups

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does a USB-C PoE Splitter do and how does it work?
A: A USB-C PoE Splitter takes a 48V Power over Ethernet (PoE) signal from a PoE switch or injector and splits it into two outputs: a 5V USB Type-C power output for your device, and a 100Mbps Ethernet data pass-through. This allows you to power a USB-C device and connect it to a network using just a single Ethernet cable — no wall outlet needed at the device end.
Q: Which devices are compatible with this USB-C PoE Splitter?
A: This PoE splitter is compatible with any device that accepts 5V power via a USB Type-C connector, including Raspberry Pi boards, IP cameras, mini PCs, streaming sticks, smart sensors, and similar electronics. It works with PoE switches and injectors that output 48V (IEEE 802.3af or passive 48V PoE).
Q: Do I need a special PoE switch to use this splitter?
A: You need either a PoE-enabled network switch or a PoE injector that outputs 48V power. The splitter is compatible with IEEE 802.3af active PoE as well as passive 48V PoE injectors. Standard non-PoE switches will not provide the power input the splitter needs to function.
Q: Is any setup or configuration required?
A: No — this is a completely plug-and-play device. Simply connect your PoE source to the input RJ45 port, connect your USB-C device to the 5V output, and connect your network device to the data-pass RJ45 port. No drivers, software, or configuration are needed.
