Active PoE Splitter Power Over Ethernet 48V to 5V 2.4A Micro USB Plug for RPi B/B+/2/3

This is great. You go right from the ethernet port of your NVR into the back of this splitter. Plug in the RJ45 for your camera feed and the USB for your power and your good. I bought some older cameras that were not bus powered and they were hit and miss. This is the way to go.

The media could not be loaded. This product is exactly what I was looking for. It splits the 48 volt DC power off the pins used for PoE and steps it down to 5 Vols DC for micro USB devices. I have Ethernet throughout my house so I upgraded my switch to a Cisco 3750 and now I can power all my Amazon Echo Dots throughout the house as long as I have an Ethernet port near.

Somewhat suspicious of what the build quality would be like considering these things are $10, I bought two of them so I could take one apart to look at the guts. This was a destructive process - the case was glued together so I needed to cut it open with a dremel. The guts actually look pretty decent. What concerns me a little is that the the PCB has the output labeled "12V" and the device gets fairly warm running my raspberry pi, so I wonder if it's doing a DC-to-DC conversion of 48V to 12V, then using a linear regulator to drop it down to 5V (there's a transformer, so there's some sort of switched-mode conversion going on). I measured the draw at my PoE injector and the output of this splitter with it charging a battery, and was seeing about 15W in, 7W out. While some of that is going to be on the injector, I think this device just isn't very efficient, but I'm okay with that in a $10 device.

Day 1 works perfectly, I have a cisco 3750 PoE, the splitter pulls the max 15.4 watts and splits the data and power as advertised, raspberry pi powers up and operates as normal. Also, remote connection has no issues. Hopefully I remember to come back and update this post later.

This is a great addition to a Raspberry Pi, if you have POE. It makes using it a lot easier and it makes it look cleaner, since you don't have to run power to it.

I used this to power an HDMI->CAT5 converter coming off of a security camera and it's been running 24/7 for a year with no issues.

Works great with my TP-Link TP-WR802N.

I needed both pigtails to provide power (12V of POE to the RJ45 and 5V to the Micro USB). This does not supply ANY power through the device to the actual LAN cabling (RJ45 jack) so it is NOT a splitter. It is a power diverter and only passes power to the micro usb.Does anyone know of anything similar to this that actually provides POE to the RJ45 jack and Micro-USB at the same time????
