PoE Splitters

Quick answer

A PoE splitter turns a 48 V PoE line into data plus a DC output — 12 V, 9 V, 5 V or 24 V — for a device that has no PoE port. Match the voltage first, then the current: 12 V / 1.2 A is 14.4 W, 12 V / 2 A is 24 W, and the 802.3bt models reach 72 W. The splitter cannot output more than the PoE port supplies.

A splitter sits at the device end and separates the 48 V PoE feed into data plus a regulated DC output, for equipment that has no PoE port of its own: a relay board, a small switch, a non-PoE camera, an access point with a barrel jack.

The 22 models here cover 12 V, 9 V, 5 V and 24 V outputs, standard and non-standard input, isolated and non-isolated versions, and waterproof housings for outdoor poles.

How to choose

  • Match the output voltage to the device, not to the switch. A 12 V dome needs 12 V; a 5 V access unit needs 5 V. No amount of wiring fixes a voltage mismatch.
  • Then check the current. The device label gives a rated current; the splitter must cover it plus margin for inrush.
  • Isolated or non-isolated. Non-isolated keeps input and output grounds tied — fine when camera and switch share a building earth. Isolated breaks that path, which is safer on poles and separate structures.
  • Connector size. 5.5 × 2.1 mm is the CCTV default, but 5.5 × 2.5 mm and Type-C appear on smaller units. A loose barrel plug works on the bench and drops out on a vibrating pole.

Output voltage and current, by model

The output is fixed per model — a splitter does not have selectable voltages. Read the device label for the voltage and the rated current, then choose the model that matches both.

Gigabit models carry a G in the model number (HX-PD02S-G, HX-PD06SFS-G, HX-PD07S-G, HX-PD08S-G, HX-PD08SAT-G, HX-PDG05, HX-PDG12, HX-PD02SBT, HX-PD024BT). A 10/100 splitter in front of a gigabit camera caps that link at 100 Mbps and nothing on the switch will show it.

PoE splitter vs injector

The two are often confused because both involve a separate power path, but they sit at opposite ends of the cable. An injector pushes power onto a run from the switch side; a splitter takes power off a run at the device side and converts it to the DC the device needs.

In practice they are used together on a passive system: a passive injector puts a fixed 48 V on the cable and a splitter turns it back into 12 V at the camera. On a PoE switch the injector is unnecessary — the switch already supplies 48 V and the splitter is the only part required. Full comparison: splitter vs injector.

Frequently asked

Does a splitter limit network speed?

It does not decode or store frames — it separates the DC component from the data pairs. What limits the link is the magnetics rating: a 10/100 splitter in front of a gigabit camera silently caps it at 100 Mbps.

Can a splitter output 48 V?

No — a splitter steps down. Devices that need the 48 V rail on a barrel plug are fed by a passive injector or a direct PoE cable instead.

What happens if the device draws more than the splitter is rated for?

The splitter runs hot and the voltage sags, which usually shows up as a camera that reboots at night when the IR illuminator switches on. Size for the peak draw on the device label plus margin.

Will it work with a non-standard passive injector?

Only if the input range covers what the injector sends. Passive 24 V and 48 V systems are not the same thing, and a mismatch is a hardware failure rather than a negotiation failure.

What is the difference between a PoE splitter and a PoE injector?

Position on the cable. An injector adds power from the switch side; a splitter removes power at the device side and converts it to 5 V, 9 V, 12 V or 24 V. On a passive run both are used together; on a PoE switch only the splitter is needed.

How much power can a splitter pass through?

What the PoE port supplies, minus conversion loss. In practice the model rating is the ceiling: 12 V / 1.2 A is 14.4 W, 12 V / 2 A is 24 W, and the 802.3bt models reach 72 W. A splitter cannot create watts that the switch did not send.
