Power Your Legacy Devices Over Ethernet

The Foscam POE5912 PoE Splitter lets you drive non-PoE cameras or network devices using a single Ethernet cable. It cleanly separates the data and power streams, supporting selectable output voltages (5 V, 9 V, 12 V) to match device requirements.

Highlights

• IEEE 802.3af / IEEE 802.3at compliance

• Output voltages: 5 V (2 A), 9 V (1.1 A), 12 V (1 A)

• 10/100 Mbps data pass-through (Fast Ethernet) 

• Plug-and-play (no configuration needed) 

• Short-circuit protection built in

• Supports cable runs up to 100 m (Ethernet standard) 

• Compact size: 80 × 55 × 31 mm, weight ~ 76 g 

• Multiple DC tip connectors included (for various device jack types) 

Key Features

Voltage Selection Flexibility

• Use a DIP switch or jumper to choose between 5 V, 9 V or 12 V outputs depending on the powered device. 

• Higher current at lower voltage: e.g. 5 V output can supply up to 2 A; 12 V output up to ~1 A. 

Data & Power Separation

• Carries both data and power over a single cable to the splitter location.

• Splits into separate RJ-45 data output + DC power output to supply the device.

Compliance & Protection

• Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at PoE standards. 

• Includes short-circuit protection to safeguard both the splitter and the connected device.

Installation & Compatibility

• Works with standard PoE switches or injectors up to 100 m away.

• Includes interchangeable DC barrel connectors in typical sizes to match device input jacks.

• Supports EIA/TIA 568A and 568B wiring.

Summary / Conclusion

The Foscam POE5912 PoE Ethernet Splitter is a versatile, compact solution to power non-PoE devices such as legacy IP cameras, access points, or network devices using a single PoE cable. With support for selectable voltages (5 V, 9 V, 12 V), plug-and-play deployment, and protection features, it helps reduce wiring complexity and expand flexibility in installations. Ideal where power outlets are unavailable near the device.
