B&B Gigabit POE Splitter, (25W) 24 VDC

Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology streamlines the way you deploy networked devices by carrying both data and power on a single Ethernet cable. The B&B Gigabit POE Splitter, (25W) 24 VDC is a rugged, industrial-grade solution designed to extract clean, reliable 24V DC power from a PoE-enabled Ethernet line while preserving full Gigabit data throughput. Intended for security cameras, networked sensors, wireless access points, and other 24V DC-powered equipment, this unmanaged splitter delivers a simple, plug-and-play experience with no configuration required. Built to thrive in demanding environments, it combines robust construction with precise power conversion to keep your devices operating smoothly even in challenging conditions.

• High-output 24V DC power — This splitter provides up to 25 watts of regulated 24V DC power, enough to run a broad range of industrial devices such as IP cameras, alarms, and sensors. The generous wattage margin helps ensure stable operation under peak load, delivering reliable power without compromise.
• Gigabit data integrity — Handling data at Gigabit speeds, the device preserves full 1 Gbps Ethernet performance on the PoE path. That means high-definition video, fast data transfers, and responsive network connections remain uninterrupted as power is delivered over the same cable.
• IEEE 802.3af/at compatibility — Designed to work with standard PoE power sourcing equipment (PSE), including both 802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at (PoE+) sources. This compatibility simplifies integration with existing network infrastructure and expands deployment options for future-proofing your network.
• Unmanaged, plug-and-play operation — No firmware or configuration is required. The splitter automatically negotiates with PoE switches and delivers a clean 24V DC output to your non-PoE device, reducing installation time and potential setup issues in field deployments.
• Industrial-grade design for harsh environments — Built to withstand the rigors of industrial settings, the splitter features a rugged enclosure that resists dust, vibration, and typical network deployments. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for tight cabinets, equipment racks, and other space-constrained installations.

How to install B&B Gigabit POE Splitter

• Confirm that your PoE switch or injector supports IEEE 802.3af/at and can supply the required power for your connected device.
• Connect the PoE-enabled Ethernet port on your switch/injector to the PoE input port on the B&B PoE splitter using an appropriate category cable (Cat5e or higher recommended for Gigabit operation).
• Connect your 24V DC-powered device to the splitter’s DC output. Use the appropriate DC power connection as provided by the splitter (barrel connector or terminal, depending on model). Ensure the device’s input current and voltage requirements align with the splitter’s 24V, up to 25W capability.
• Power on the system and verify operation. Look for indicator LEDs (if present) that show PoE detection and power delivery, and confirm that the connected device is receiving both data and power as expected.
• Test critical functionality (e.g., video streaming for cameras or sensor readings) to ensure stable performance. Keep in mind cable quality and length can influence PoE efficiency and data integrity at Gigabit speeds.

Frequently asked questions

• What is a PoE splitter? A PoE splitter is a device placed between a PoE-enabled Ethernet switch and a non-PoE device. It extracts the power carried by the PoE cable and provides a separate DC power output (in this case, 24V DC) to the device while passing data to the device via Ethernet. This allows non-PoE devices to benefit from PoE infrastructure without requiring PoE capability built into the device itself.
• Will this splitter work with my PoE switch? Yes, it is designed to work with standard PoE power sourcing equipment that supports IEEE 802.3af/at. This compatibility ensures broad interoperability with most PoE-enabled switches and injectors found in typical networks.
• Can I power devices that require 24V DC? Absolutely. The splitter is specifically designed to deliver 24V DC output, up to 25W, making it suitable for devices such as certain IP cameras, sensors, and other equipment that operate at 24V.
• Is any configuration needed? No. The device is an unmanaged splitter—no software, firmware updates, or complicated setup required. Simply connect and power up to start delivering data and power over a single Ethernet cable.
• What should I consider when deploying in the field? Consider cable length, electrical interference, and environmental conditions. For best performance, use quality Ethernet cabling (Cat5e or higher) and ensure the splitter’s industrial-grade enclosure is appropriate for the installation site. If you’re deploying outdoors or in extreme temperatures, verify the product’s operating specifications in the datasheet to ensure suitability for your environment.
