Waterproof PoE Splitter IEEE 802.3af 12V 1A – 10/100M
Waterproof PoE Splitter IEEE 802.3af 12V 1A – 10/100M
Waterproof PoE Splitter – IEEE 802.3af Compliant, 12V 1A Output
Power your outdoor network devices with confidence using this Waterproof PoE Splitter. Fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3af standard, this 10/100Mbps splitter (model PD3003) draws power from any compliant PSE source — such as a PoE switch — and delivers both data and 12V/1A DC power to devices that don't natively support PoE. The weatherproof housing keeps it running reliably in outdoor environments, making it ideal for security cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does a PoE splitter do and how does the IEEE 802.3af Waterproof PoE Splitter work?
A: A PoE (Power over Ethernet) splitter takes a single Ethernet cable carrying both data and power from a PoE-enabled switch or injector and splits them into two separate outputs — a standard Ethernet data connection and a DC power output. This IEEE 802.3af-compliant splitter delivers 12V at 1A through a 5.5×2.1mm connector, allowing you to power non-PoE devices like IP cameras and wireless APs without running a separate power cable.
Q: Is this PoE splitter suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes. This splitter features a waterproof, weatherproof housing designed to withstand outdoor environments including rain and moisture exposure. It is well-suited for use with outdoor IP security cameras, rooftop wireless access points, and other exterior-mounted network equipment.
Q: What devices are compatible with this 12V PoE splitter?
A: This splitter is compatible with any device that requires a 12V DC power input and a 10/100Mbps Ethernet connection. Common compatible devices include outdoor IP cameras, wireless access points, IP phones, and similar non-PoE network equipment. The power source (switch or injector) must be IEEE 802.3af compliant.
Q: Does this PoE splitter require any configuration or software?
A: No configuration or software is needed. Simply connect your IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE switch or injector to the input port, then connect the Ethernet output to your device and the DC barrel connector to its power port. It is fully plug-and-play.
