Description
Simplify your Internet of Things projects with the Passive PoE Injector Cable Set, ideal for adding power and Ethernet connectivity simultaneously. This cable set merges low voltage DC power (via a 2.1mm jack) with Ethernet data lines over standard Cat5/6 cables.
Features include:
- Passive power injection using pins 4,5 and 7,8 (Mode B) for simple power and data delivery
- Compatible for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet devices (not suitable for gigabit Ethernet)
- Requires pair usage: injector half to combine power with Ethernet and extractor half to separate power
- Designed for DIY projects; not compatible with official 802.3af PoE (48V) standards
- Simple to use with standard 9V DC adapters (power supply not included)
Note: Ethernet cable length affects voltage drop - longer cables can reduce available power due to resistance.
This cable set is perfect for powering embedded systems, Arduino Ethernet shields, or IoT devices that require both Ethernet and power without complex setups.
