Black Box PoE+ Gigabit Splitter - 5-12-VDC, 6-Amp

The Black Box PoE+ Gigabit Splitter is a smart, space‑saving solution for powering non‑PoE devices while maintaining full Gigabit Ethernet performance. Designed to extract PoE+ power from a standard PoE-enabled network and deliver stable DC power through a dedicated 18" cord with a right‑angle 5.5 x 2.5 mm plug, this splitter makes it easy to deploy IP cameras, wireless access points, network clocks, and other PoE‑dependent devices in locations without a traditional power outlet. By combining data and power delivery over a single Ethernet cable, it reduces installation time, lowers cabling complexity, and minimizes equipment costs while preserving reliable network throughput. Built for reliability in commercial environments, it is a versatile tool for clean and scalable network deployments.

• The Gigabit PoE+ Splitter enables you to run both data and power to a non‑PoE device from a PoE+ source, ensuring seamless operation of IP cameras, wireless access points, POS terminals, network sensors, and other edge devices without requiring an external power adapter.
• Data integrity and speed are preserved with Gigabit Ethernet support (10/100/1000 Mbps) on the data path, so your non‑PoE device benefits from high‑bandwidth connectivity while drawing power through the dedicated DC output.
• Power is delivered through a regulated DC output (5–12 VDC) via the included 18" DC power cord with a right‑angle 5.5 × 2.5 mm plug, providing a clean, unobtrusive install and flexible mounting options near the powered device.
• Includes a compact, durable design that fits into tight spaces and supports easy installation in cabinets, wall mounts, or ceiling spaces, helping you streamline deployments in offices, retail, or industrial settings.
• LED indicators and built‑in protection features deliver quick status at a glance and safeguard your equipment against common electrical issues, reducing troubleshooting time and enhancing reliability in 24/7 networks.

Technical Details of Black Box PoE+ Gigabit Splitter - 5-12-VDC, 6-Amp

• Cable Included: 18" DC power cord (right‑angle plug) included for convenient, tidy installations.
• Form Factor: Compact, rack‑friendly and/or wall‑mount compatible housing for flexible placement in tight spaces.
• Indicators: Power and activity LEDs provide at‑a‑glance status of power delivery and data traffic.

How to Install Black Box PoE+ Gigabit Splitter

• Connect the RJ‑45 data input port on the splitter to a PoE+ enabled switch or injector with an Ethernet cable. This supplies both data and power to the splitter from the network.
• Attach the included 18" DC power cord to the DC output port on the splitter, then connect the other end to the DC input on the non‑PoE device you are powering (within the 5–12 VDC range).
• Power up the PoE network device and verify that the connected non‑PoE device receives both data and power through the splitter.
• Check the LED indicators on the splitter to confirm power is present and data activity is occurring, signaling a healthy connection between the network and the powered device.
• Mount and route cables neatly to maintain accessibility, reduce strain, and protect the connectors in high‑traffic environments. Ensure ventilation around the splitter to prevent heat buildup in enclosed spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What devices can be powered with this splitter? A: Non‑PoE devices that require DC power in the 5–12 V range and can operate from a PoE+ source—such as IP cameras, wireless access points, or network controllers—can be powered while data is carried over the same Ethernet line.
• Q: Do I need an external power adapter? A: No. The splitter draws power from a PoE+ compliant network connection. The included DC cord is used to connect to the powered device, not to supply external power to the splitter itself.
• Q: What data speeds does it support? A: The splitter supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds on the data path, delivering up to 1 Gbps where the network and connected devices allow.
• Q: Is IEEE 802.3at/af compatibility required? A: Yes. The splitter is designed to work with PoE/PoE+ networks that adhere to IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standards, enabling power over Ethernet from compatible switches or injectors.
• Q: Can I power multiple devices from a single PoE port using this splitter? A: No. The splitter routes power to a single DC output connection for one non‑PoE device. If you need to power multiple devices, you would need additional splitters or a PoE budget that supports multiple outputs from separate ports.
