## 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)
