Gigabit Type C PoE Splitter 5V 2.4A, IEEE 802.3af Standard, 10/100/1000Mbps Type C Power Over Ethernet Splitter for 5v Devices, iPads, USB, Dropcam, Raspberry Pi (TYPEC0502G Black)

I have a Bmax B1 mini computer and this allows me to give it network connectivity and power all through one compact cable. It also allows me to remotely power cycle the computer should it ever hang. There is no configuration necessary and the computer is seeing full speed on the Ethernet connection. It seems to be well built and delivers on its promise.

This was used to convert my Hubitat to a POE device, eliminating the need to run power along with ethernet. The device worked flawlessly, instantly receiving power and allowing my device to connect. I've bought a few more with the idea of eliminating plugs where I can.

Plug and play to power a Hue Bridge Pro off a Ubiquiti POE switch. Works great.

This does exactly what it is supposed to do, provides gigabit speed and 12 volts for my WiFi access point. Other reviewers that say this does not support gigabit are wrong. The first thing I did was test my line speed with and without this PoE splitter through a wired connection using iperf3. The speeds both times were identical and near theoretical limits. I then did the same through my WiFi access point and also got the same great results. Great product and I hope they holds up because I am ordering many more. EDIT: Ordered two more and one was DOA. Power was extracted, but no network connection; tested on three devices. Still five starts, it happens. Amazon replaced without issue. EDIT 2: The replacement arrived and is working perfectly.

I've used lower power PoE splitters (12v, 1A) without anything connected to the 12v plug and the splitter will show on the switch as a very low power draw - about 0.5 watts. This splitter does not. Evidently it uses the down stream device to draw power, cause the switch to handshake, which then turns on PoE to the port. Well, one of my devices (Netgear R7000 router) doesn't draw enough power before startup to load the splitter and get the switch to turn on PoE to the port. I was able to trick it on by placing a 330ohm resistor across the 12v power lines. Once the PoE on the port is on, it will stay on just fine but if there is a power outage or disruption the switch won't restart the PoE on the port without once again tricking it with a resistor. I plan to make an inline adaptor that will keep the resistor as part of the power supply circuit so that the system will restart properly after a power failure. This splitter is just about the only device I was able to find that makes 12v 2A. Once the switch is tricked the device works great. Customer support has been receptive and is working with me to learn how they might be able to fix or improve their device. I'll update if we get anywhere. UPDATE: Customer service basically told me everything is working as it should and by design. They explained that I would need to increase the load but provided no device or info for doing so. Ultimately, I discovered that a 1k ohm, 1/2 watt resistor was sufficient to start the PoE. I then took it a step further by soldering the resistor inline with my power plugs to make a "load dongle" which you can see in the picture. I heat shrinked the whole thing. It's an indoor application so weather and water resistance is not an issue. Now if the power goes out everything restarts on its own as it should. In my ideal world the manufacturer would have designed the unit with a switch to turn on/off a load resistor. Second to that they would provide a manufactured load dongle with each unit. A very distant third best option would be to simply provide instructions for making a load dongle instead of me having to figure it out as I go. In conclusion, it is nice being able to mount or place the router anywhere in the house regardless of the availability of electrical outlets. Its a lot less clutter not needing the wall wart power supply. I was able to place mine high on a staircase wall. This allows the signal to propagate very well but also hides the router. I'm getting gigabit ethernet throughput and powering non-PoE router with a PoE switch.

Works great!

Does what it says and it does it well. has held up to everything we’ve thrown at it. It just works. Even though my wireless access point is supposed to have POE, it doesn’t and is broken. Thankfully the 12 volt side of my AP is still functional. I bought it used so who knows? Anyway, I have been using the adapter probably for 5 months now and it doesn’t get hot or ever cut out.

I got this with the desire to use it on a Dell WYSE 3040 micro PC. The tip doesn't fit, but an Adafruit adapter from this 2.1mm to 1.7mm jack got it hooked up to power. It works exactly as you'd think. Power and data are delivered from a PoE enabled switch to the adapter, and from there split into their respective ports. I'm very happy with it and am going to buy more of these in the future for more WYSE 3040s
