Network Splitter Trendnet TI-SG104 Black Power over Ethernet PoE

The Trendnet TI-SG104 Black Power over Ethernet PoE network splitter separates data and power delivered over an Ethernet cable to provide a dedicated DC output for non-PoE devices. Compliant with IEEE 802.3 standards, the device supports multiple PoE power classes and delivers output voltage in the 12–48 V range. Housed in a compact metal enclosure with IP30 protection, the unit measures 104 mm x 82 mm x 32 mm and is suitable for installations where reliable power and data separation are required.

Advantages

The TI-SG104 combines IEEE 802.3 compatibility with a metal housing to provide mechanical durability and electromagnetic shielding. Its compact footprint and light weight make it easy to mount in constrained locations or inside network cabinets. The adjustable output voltage range of 12–48 V allows connection to a variety of edge devices while maintaining data integrity through standard Ethernet signalling.

Suitable for

• Supplying DC power and network connectivity to legacy network devices without built-in PoE
• Separating power and data for IP cameras, access points or sensors that require a specific DC voltage
• Small network cabinets, wall-mounted installations or constrained spaces where a compact splitter is needed

Key specifications

• Networking standards: IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at, IEEE 802.3bt
• Output voltage range: 12–48 V DC
• Material: metal housing
• Ingress protection rating: IP30

• Weight: 0.172 kg

How to use

Connect the incoming PoE Ethernet cable from a PoE switch or injector to the TI-SG104 input port. Verify the required DC output voltage for the target device and set or confirm the splitter output accordingly if such adjustment is available. Connect the DC output leads to the powered device and connect the data Ethernet output to its network port. Ensure that the supplying PoE source supports the necessary power class and that cable runs comply with Ethernet wiring standards to avoid voltage drop or data errors.

Recommendations

Install the splitter in a dry, ventilated area and ensure the metal housing is properly secured. Use suitable cable lengths and gauge to minimise power loss. Confirm compatibility of the target device with the selected DC output voltage and verify that the PoE source can provide sufficient wattage according to IEEE 802.3 power classes.
