9. Why Choose Velolan Networks?
In modern network deployments, Power over Ethernet (PoE) simplifies installations by delivering data and power over a single cable. But what about devices lacking built-in PoE support? Enter the PoE Splitter – a critical tool for integrating non-PoE devices into PoE networks.
As a leader in PoE innovation, Velolan Networks offers expertly engineered splitters tailored to diverse technical requirements.
What Does a PoE Splitter Do?
A PoE splitter separates the combined power-and-data signal from a PoE source (like a switch or injector) into two outputs:
1. A standard Ethernet data output for device connectivity.
2. A DC power output (5V, 12V, or 24V) to energize equipment.
This allows non-PoE devices (wireless APs, IP phones, IoT sensors) to leverage PoE infrastructure. Velolan Networks’ splitters offer precision voltage matching and connector flexibility (DC5.5×2.1/2.5mm, Type-C, Micro USB), ensuring broad compatibility.
Can I Use a Splitter for PoE Cameras?
Absolutely! PoE splitters are ideal for non-PoE security cameras. By connecting to a PoE source, they deliver both data and the correct DC voltage to the camera. For optimal results, match your camera’s voltage (5V/12V/24V) and power connector (e.g., DC barrel or USB-C) with Velolan’s specialized splitters.
PoE Splitter vs. Injector: Key Differences
| PoE Injector | PoE Splitter |
| Adds power to Ethernet data | Removes power from PoE signal |
| Installed near the switch | Placed near the end device |
| Powers non-PoE switches | Powers non-PoE endpoints |
| Velolan provides both solutions, enabling end-to-end PoE deployment. (PoE Injector; PoE Splitter) | |
Are PoE Splitters Safe?
Yes – when compliant with IEEE 802.3af/at/bt standards and safety certifications (UL/CE/FCC). Quality splitters include:
1. Over-voltage/current protection
2. Short-circuit prevention
Voltage regulation
Velolan splitters undergo rigorous testing, featuring multi-layered safeguards and precise voltage output (5V/12V/24V) to protect connected devices.
Does a Splitter Reduce Signal Strength?
Properly engineered splitters cause negligible signal degradation. Performance depends on:
1. Splitter speed rating (100Mbps/1Gbps/2.5Gbps)
2. Ethernet cable quality/length
Velolan’s speed-specific splitters (100M, 100/1000M, 100/1000/2500M) maintain data integrity, avoiding bottlenecks.
Can I Split a PoE Cable?
Never use passive cable splitters – they risk equipment damage.
Instead:
1. Use a dedicated PoE splitter per end device.
2. Ensure your PoE source supports required power budgets.
Velolan splitters provide a safe, standards-based solution for single-device power extraction.
