TP-Link TL-PoE10R, 802.3af Compliant Gigabit PoE Splitter, 5/9/12V DC Power Output, Up To 100 Meters (325ft.), Power Adapter & Cable Included

Positive: It's a dead simple and easy to use product and does EXACTLY what it says and is advertised to do.Cons: None. If you know what you're buying and you know what you're doing then you won't have a problem.A PoE injector does exactly what is says. It INJECTS voltage into a RJ-45 cable to combine your data source with voltage which, in turn, will allow you to power a PoE device such as a wireless AP or PoE camera at the other end of the RJ-45 without the need for a power source for that device whereever the cable terminates.A PoE SPLITTER on the other hand does the OPPSITE! Of course it doesn't come with a power supply in the box like one of the reviewers left a negative review for. WHY WOULD A PoE SPLITTER COME WITH A POWER SUPPLY IN THE BOX!? My god man! You use this device for splitting the data and power that is already in your PoE injected data line. You can then run the power into a device that isn't PoE powered and the data into whatever you need the data for. An example of this would be APs that are not PoE powered. You don't have a 120V outlet where you want the AP, but you have a PoE powered data line. You place a PoE spitter there and run the data into the AP and use the dc barrel of the split voltage to power the same AP. Job done.I use these PoE splitters not for the data part, but to split out the DC power to be used to power some 12V 1A IR Flood lights to assist the PoE cameras at the same location that are using other PoE data lines. There's no 120V power there, but these splitters allow me to power the IR flood lights with the data lines that were already run in the past. Just have the lines plugged into a PoE switch wihtout data at the other end.

I bought several of these, I'm powering my ONT (fiber to ethernet bridge from ISP), router, Hue Bridge on these. Since the PoE switch powering these is on a battery backup, so are all of those systems.Yes, I could have used the power bricks for the ONT and router in the network rack, but if I even need to power cycle them, I'd have to then open the rack to access those. Now, I just disconnect/wait/reconnect the ethernet lead from the front of the rack powering the PoE splitter and power cycle is done.

Already had a PoE "injector" unit, and this provided the needed downstream/terminating piece to run a non-PoE network switch.Included instructions are clear, and the unit comes with a length of Ethernet cable and a short DC female/female adapter cable for powering the device. Unit has an on/off switch, a selector for 5vDC, 9vDC, and 12vDC that should accommodate most devices, and there's a green indicator light.As-noted in another review, the plastic shell is thin and the unit feels a bit insubstantial. On the other hand, it's never going to be under physical load, so for the price I'm going to give it a pass on that score.Will very-likely buy again, Just To Have One Around.

Compact, good looking units, working well for me! At first I ordered the individual units (injector & splitter) but then noticed they are available as a "kit" for less money, doh! I then ordered the kit too thinking I would return the individual pieces. However, on the kit (POE injector+splitter) the units are white plastic, are 10/100 only and non 802.3af compliant. The POE injector and splitter when ordered separately are black plastic, are gigabit and 802.3af compliant. Seems very odd. POE injector comes with the 48v adapter. I ended up keeping all of them.I needed to connect 2 building that are 150 meters apart with a CAT5e ethernet cable. The maximum cable length for ethernet is 100 meters. So I needed to divide the 150m into 50m and 100m sections then add a switch at the 50m mark. However there is no AC power anywhere between those two buildings. I used this TP-LINK PoE injector & splitter kit with the PoE injector placed at the beginning of the cable, the splitter (which acts like a switch) placed at the 50 meter mark powered from the PoE injector and the ethernet cable continues on for the last 100m. I don't use the 5/9/12V output for anything. I used the white units from the "kit", everything is working very well. Saved the black gigabit units for spares, might upgrade to the gigabit ones if client needs more network speed.

This review is for the TP-Link TL-PoE10R, 802.3af Compliant Gigabit PoE Splitter, 5/9/12V DC Power Output, Up To 100 Meters (325ft.), Power Adapter & Cable Included purchased in January 2023. I received version 5.6 as marked on the bottom of the unit. For anyone struggling to find information the box comes with the splitter, a short Ethernet cable, a 12" DC cable, and a paper installation guide. Both ends have a 5.5 x 2.1 mm, male plug for connection to a barrel jack. When powered from a PoE switch without a device connected the LED flashes. The manual does not say what a flashing LED indicates. The device is powering and communicating with an indoor ip camera just fine. In my case I still needed another adapter as the power connection on the camera is micro USB.
