For the cost saving and power management purpose, Planet Technology releases a new 10/100Mbps Power over Ethernet splitter POE-151S. The POE-151S is an IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (POE) device which split the 48V DC over the Ethernet cable into 5/12V DC power output. Work with the IEEE 802.3af power source equipment (PSE), the POE-151S frees the device deployment from restrictions due to power outlet locations, which eliminates the costs for additional AC wiring and reduces the installation time.

When the PSE inserts DC Voltage into the CAT 5 cable, it allows the cable between the PSE and POE-151S to transfer data and power simultaneously. The maximum distance between the PSE and POE-151S is 100M. With being installed, the PSE combines the Ethernet digital data with power over the twisted pair cables as an injector, and the POE-151S, the splitter, shall separate the digital data and the power into two outputs.

With IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet being installed, the system administrator only has to use a single RJ-45 Ethernet cable to carry both power and data to each device. The POE-151S also has the benefits of cost saving as well as ease for networking planning and higher reliability. Furthermore, upon any IEEE 802.3af being installed, the POE-151S can make the connection while migrating or splitting the power and the Ethernet digital packets. Providing two kinds of DC output, the POE-151S offers 5V/2A & 12V/1A respectively.
