Gigabit PoE Splitter 48V to 5V 2.4A USB Type-C Power Supply

Gigabit PoE Splitter — 48V to 5V 2.4A USB Type-C Power Supply Module

Power your USB Type-C devices directly from a PoE-enabled network switch with this compact and reliable Gigabit PoE Splitter. Designed to convert 48V Power over Ethernet (PoE) input down to a stable 5V / 2.4A DC output via a standard USB Type-C connector, this module lets you run cameras, Raspberry Pi boards, mini PCs, and other USB-C powered devices without needing a separate power adapter or nearby wall outlet.

Why You'll Love This PoE Splitter

• True Gigabit Speed: Supports full 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet throughput — your network performance stays completely unaffected.
• Universal 802.3af/at PoE Compatibility: Works seamlessly with standard PoE and PoE+ switches and injectors delivering 48V input.
• Stable 5V / 2.4A Output: Delivers clean, regulated 5V DC at up to 2.4A (12W) via USB Type-C — enough for Raspberry Pi 4, IP cameras, mini hubs, and more.
• Plug-and-Play Setup: No drivers or configuration needed. Simply connect to your PoE switch and plug your USB-C device in — power and data run over a single Ethernet cable.
• Compact & Durable Design: Space-saving form factor fits neatly behind displays, in server closets, or mounted alongside network equipment.
• Reduces Cable Clutter: Eliminates the need for separate power supplies and power outlets near your networked devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a Gigabit PoE Splitter and how does it work?

A: A Gigabit PoE Splitter takes a single Ethernet cable carrying both data and power (Power over Ethernet, or PoE) from a PoE switch or injector, and splits them into two outputs: a standard Ethernet data connection and a separate DC power output — in this case, 5V 2.4A via USB Type-C. This allows you to power USB Type-C devices anywhere you have a network cable run, without needing a separate electrical outlet.

Q: Which PoE switches and injectors are compatible with this splitter?

A: This PoE splitter is compatible with any standard IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at PoE switch or injector operating at 48V. It works with equipment from major networking brands including TP-Link, Netgear, Ubiquiti, Cisco, and others. Always verify your switch or injector meets the 802.3af/at standard before connecting.

Q: Can I use this PoE splitter to power a Raspberry Pi 4 or Raspberry Pi 5?

A: Yes! The Raspberry Pi 4 and Pi 5 are powered via USB Type-C and typically require 5V at around 2–3A. This splitter's 5V / 2.4A (12W) output is well-suited for powering a Raspberry Pi 4 in most standard operating scenarios. For the Pi 5, which can draw slightly more current under heavy load, ensure your PoE source provides sufficient wattage.

Q: Does using this splitter reduce my Ethernet connection speed?

A: No. This is a true Gigabit PoE splitter, meaning it passes through your full 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet signal without any reduction in data throughput. Your network performance remains completely unaffected.
