D-Link DPE-301GS 1 Port Gigabit 30W PoE Splitter

The D-Link DPE-301GS PoE splitter supplies DC power and Ethernet to end devices that do not support PoE natively, such as wireless access points, IP cameras and VoIP phones. It accepts PoE input from a PoE switch or injector and separates the signal into one Gigabit Ethernet output and one DC output. The unit supports selectable DC output voltages of 5V, 9V or 12V and delivers up to 30W of power in a compact white housing weighing 98 g.

Advantages

The DPE-301GS provides a simple way to power non‑PoE devices from a PoE source without running separate power cabling. It features two 10/100/1000 RJ‑45 ports (PoE IN and LAN OUT), a 5.5 mm DC OUT jack and two adapter cables (for 5.5 mm and 3.8 mm connectors) to match device input. The selectable DIP switch for 5V/9V/12V output and compatibility with IEEE 802.3af/at standards make it versatile for a variety of installations.

Suitable for

• Wireless access points that require 5V, 9V or 12V DC input
• IP cameras without built‑in PoE support
• VoIP phones and other small networked devices needing DC power
• Remote or ceiling installations where AC power outlets are unavailable

How to use

Connect a PoE-enabled network cable from a PoE switch or injector to the PoE IN RJ‑45 port on the DPE-301GS. Use the selectable DIP switch to set the required DC output voltage (5V, 9V or 12V). Plug the appropriate adapter cable into the DC OUT jack and connect it to the end device's power input. Connect the LAN OUT RJ‑45 port to the network port of the end device to deliver the Ethernet signal. Place the splitter close to the powered device to minimize cable runs.

Recommendations

Use a PoE switch or injector that provides sufficient power budget for the DPE-301GS and the connected device; verify device voltage requirements before setting the DIP switch and ensure correct adapter tip size (5.5 mm or 3.8 mm) to avoid connector mismatch.
