USB Type-C PoE Splitter 48V to 5V | IEEE 802.3af Ethernet
USB Type-C PoE Splitter 48V to 5V | IEEE 802.3af Ethernet
USB Type-C PoE Splitter — Power & Data Over a Single Ethernet Cable
Simplify your network setup with this compact Active PoE Splitter. It takes a single IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE connection and splits it into a standard RJ45 data output plus a USB Type-C 5V/2.4A power output — no extra power adapters needed. Perfect for powering USB-C devices such as single-board computers (Raspberry Pi and similar), IP cameras, wireless access points, smart displays, and more, wherever a PoE switch or injector is already installed.

Why You'll Love It
Run a clean, cable-clutter-free installation by delivering both network data and USB-C power through the same Ethernet line. The robust 2.5 kV isolation protects your connected devices, and the automatic device-detection circuit ensures power is only supplied when a compatible device is plugged in. At just 55 g and pocket-sized, it's easy to mount or tuck away wherever you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does this USB Type-C PoE Splitter do?
A: This active PoE splitter receives a single IEEE 802.3af/at PoE Ethernet connection (DC 44–57V) and splits it into two outputs: a standard RJ45 data port (10/100 Mbps) for your network device, and a USB Type-C port delivering DC 5V at 2.4A to power a USB-C device — all through one cable run.
Q: Which devices is this PoE splitter compatible with?
A: It works with any USB Type-C powered device that accepts 5V/2.4A input, such as Raspberry Pi single-board computers, USB-C IP cameras, small access points, and similar low-power networked devices. On the network side, it requires an IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at compliant PoE switch or injector.
Q: Is this PoE splitter plug-and-play?
A: Yes. Simply connect your PoE Ethernet cable to the RJ45 female input, plug your RJ45 data cable into the male output port, and connect your USB-C device. The splitter automatically detects your device before enabling power — no drivers or configuration required.
Q: What is the operating temperature range of this splitter?
A: It operates reliably in temperatures from −20 °C to 45 °C and can be stored in environments ranging from −30 °C to 70 °C, making it suitable for both indoor and sheltered outdoor installations.
