Product Overview

Introduction
This Power over Ethernet (PoE) Splitter Board allows you to split a PoE signal from an Ethernet cable into two separate channels (power and data) to support non-PoE compatible devices. By feeding the power that is split from the PoE signal into a separate input that non-PoE compatible devices can use, you eliminate the need for a local power source for remote devices.

Hardware Setup

Before you proceed

Take note of the following precautions before connecting your PoE Splitter Board.

NOTE : The diagrams in this chapter are for reference only. Your PoE Splitter Board layout may vary depending on the model.
IMPORTANT! Components shown in this section may be purchased separately. Refer to the Package contents section for more information about the contents of your PoE Splitter Board package.

WARNING!

Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti-static pad or in the bag that came with the component.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the PoE Splitter Board, peripherals, or components.
