# PoE Splitter with USB Type C - 5V 2A - 100 MB Ethernet

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** ADA4552 · **Brand:** [Adafruit](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/adafruit-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/poe-splitter-with-usb-type-c-5v-2a-100-mb-ethernet.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/poe-splitter-with-usb-type-c-5v-2a-100-mb-ethernet.html.md))

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.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $32.45 (inc GST) — $29.50 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $28.62 (exc GST) · 50+ $28.03 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Sep 01 and Sep 07.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA4552:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. 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/ADA4552:1.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)

## 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.

**Note**: This device can't auto-negotiate down to 100mbs, so make sure your switch/router can enforce 100mbps.

This is an economical, practical, high-performance, and reliable **Isolated 5V 2A PoE Splitter with USB C 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 Amps.

**This is perfect for use with a Raspberry Pi 4 or Pi 400 (or other "USB C Power" Raspberry Pi) since it has Ethernet and USB-C, and 2 Amp is a good mount 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 and don't use Type C. [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) as long as its, again, a USB Type C connection for power.

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)
