Microconnect MC-POESPLITTER network splitter Power over Ethernet (PoE) Black

The Microconnect MC-POESPLITTER Power over Ethernet PoE Black is a compact network splitter that separates power and data from a PoE-enabled Ethernet connection. Compliant with IEEE 802.3af, it accepts 48 V PoE input and provides 5 V DC output at up to 2.4 A while passing through 10/100Base-T(X) data to an RJ45 device. The unit is finished in black, weighs approximately 50 g and is supplied in a compact package measuring 200 mm x 174 mm x 33 mm.

Advantages

The splitter delivers a reliable 5 V/2.4 A output for powering non-PoE devices from a single Ethernet cable, reducing the need for separate power adapters. Compliance with IEEE 802.3af ensures compatibility with standard PoE switches and injectors, and the 10/100Base-T(X) data support maintains network connectivity without additional cabling. Its small size and light weight simplify installation in constrained spaces.

Suitable for

• Powering 5 V devices (e.g., IP cameras, access points, small network equipment) from PoE infrastructure
• Environments with limited power outlets where a single-cable solution is preferred
• Upgrading legacy network devices to receive power via Ethernet

How to use

Connect the PoE-enabled Ethernet cable from a compatible PoE switch or injector to the splitter's RJ45 input. Attach the MicroUSB output to the target device requiring 5 V power. Ensure the PoE source provides IEEE 802.3af power and that the device's power requirements do not exceed 5 V/2.4 A. Data signals continue over the RJ45 connection to the networked device while power is delivered separately via MicroUSB.

Recommendations

Use with IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE sources and cables in good condition; verify device power draw before connection. Avoid exposure to moisture and extreme temperatures. For permanent installations, secure cables and the splitter to prevent strain on connectors.
