Adafruit PoE Splitter with USB Type C - 5V 2A - 100 MB Ethernet

Power over Ethernet (PoE) splitters simplify project wiring, connecting any 802.3af-capable router to Ethernet devices that lack native PoE support. The splitter converts a unified PoE signal from one RJ-45 cable, separating it into distinct Ethernet and regulated 5VDC power lines for non-PoE devices.

This robust and reliable Isolated 5V 2A PoE Splitter with USB-C plug adheres to the IEEE 802.3af standard. It seamlessly divides power and data signals from a network cable, compatible with any IEEE 802.3af PoE injector, to power non-PoE network equipment efficiently.

Attach it to your PoE switch or hub, and receive Ethernet data alongside a quality 5V power supply of up to 2 Amps on the other end. Ideal for a Raspberry Pi 4 or Pi 400, this splitter provides sufficient current even for highly accessorized setups; not suitable for Pi Zero or A+ models due to lack of Ethernet and Type C requirements.

This solution integrates perfectly with a Feather equipped with an Ethernet Feather when using a USB Type-C connection. Note the minimum load requirement of 100mA on the 5V power supply. Generally, devices with Ethernet surpass 200mA draw, ensuring smooth operations. Ensure compatibility with true IEEE 802.3af routers to avoid issues.
