Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA3785:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Power over Ethernet (PoE) splitters can make your project wiring a breeze - and best of all they work to connect any 802.3af-capable router to any Ethernet device, *even if it doesn't natively support PoE!* The splitter takes a unified PoE signal (data and power) from one RJ-45 cable, and then separates the data (Ethernet) and power (5 VDC regulated) into two different lines for non-PoE devices. This is an economical, practical, high-performance, and reliable **Isolated 5V 2.4A PoE Splitter with MicroUSB Plug** based on IEEE 802.3af standard. It can divide power and data signals from a network cable, and can be used with any PoE injector that is compatible with IEEE 802.3af, and supply power and data for non-PoE network equipment. Whew, that's quite a few words - but basically: Connect this to your PoE switch or hub, then on the other side of the Ethernet cable, you'll get Ethernet and a high quality 5V power supply, up to 2.4 Amps. **This is perfect for use with a Raspberry Pi model B, B+, Pi 2 or Pi 3** since those have Ethernet and micro USB power, and 2.4 Amp is *plenty* of current for even the most accessorized Pi. (It isn't a good match for the Pi Zero or A+ because those don't have Ethernet, although you could use an Ethernet hub.) It also [works great with Arduino boards and compatibles that have Ethernet and micro USB like the Seeed Cloud ](https://core-electronics.com.au/seeeduino-cloud-compatible-with-arduino-yun.html)or [an Arduino-compatible with an Ethernet shield ](https://core-electronics.com.au/ethernet-shield-for-arduino-w5500-chipset.html)- just check that the compatible has a micro USB power input! [It would also be a perfect addition to a Feather with Adafruit's Ethernet Feather attached](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-ethernet-featherwing.html). Please note that like many active PoE splitters, there's a minimum load requirement of at least 100mA on the 5V power supply. Adafruit don't think this is going to be a problem since anything with Ethernet will tend to draw 200mA+, but please keep it in mind! [For use only with true 802.3af routers! If you don't have a PoE injector / hub / router, check out Adafruit's passive PoE cable kit.](https://core-electronics.com.au/passive-poe-injector-cable-set.html) ### Technical Details - Ethernet cable length: 205mm / 8" - MicroUSB cable length: 205mm / 8" - Body dimensions: 80mm x 30mm x 24mm / 3" x 1" x .8" - Product Weight: 54.1g / 1.9oz **Features:** - IEEE 802.3af compliant - Supports 10/100M data transmission (not for Gigabit ethernet) - Supports 48V Unsolicited Power Over Ethernet PoE Switches/Hubs/Adapters with a 44V-57V power voltage input - Operation temperature: 20°C - 45°C - Storage temperature:- 30°C - 70°C - Isolation: 2.5kV - Power Input: 44~57V DC - Power Output: 5V DC 2.4A ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/a/d/ada3785-1.jpg)
