MicroUSB PoE Splitter 48V to 5V Gigabit Ethernet Power Module

Power your MicroUSB devices over your existing Ethernet network with this compact 48V to 5V PoE Splitter. This versatile Power over Ethernet (PoE) module converts 48V PoE input from a standard IEEE 802.3af-compatible switch or injector down to a stable 5V MicroUSB output — no separate power adapter needed. Perfect for powering Raspberry Pi boards, IP cameras, wireless access points, and other MicroUSB-powered devices in hard-to-reach locations.

Key Features

• Wide Compatibility: Works with Gigabit and Fast Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps) networks — no speed compromise.
• 48V to 5V Conversion: Efficiently steps down 48V PoE input to a clean, stable 5V MicroUSB output for reliable device powering.
• MicroUSB Output: Universal MicroUSB connector compatible with a broad range of Android devices, single-board computers, and networking hardware.
• Plug-and-Play Setup: No drivers or configuration required — simply connect your Ethernet cable and MicroUSB device and you're ready to go.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does this MicroUSB PoE Splitter do?

A: This PoE splitter takes 48V Power over Ethernet input from a PoE switch or injector and converts it to a stable 5V MicroUSB output, allowing you to power MicroUSB-compatible devices through your existing Ethernet cable — no wall outlet needed at the device end.

Q: Is this PoE splitter compatible with Gigabit Ethernet networks?

A: Yes. This splitter fully supports 10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit) Ethernet networks, passing data at full Gigabit speeds while simultaneously delivering 5V power via MicroUSB.

Q: What devices can I power with this 48V to 5V PoE splitter?

A: Any device that charges or operates via a MicroUSB 5V connection can be powered — including Raspberry Pi and other single-board computers, small IP cameras, Android-based devices, wireless access points, and various smart home modules.

Q: Do I need a special PoE switch to use this module?

A: You need a PoE switch or PoE injector that delivers 48V (IEEE 802.3af standard). Most commercial and prosumer PoE switches are compatible. Passive PoE injectors delivering 48V also work with this splitter.
