1. Introduction
The LINOVISION POE Splitter (Model POE-SP01) is designed to split Power over Ethernet (PoE) into separate 10/100Mbps data and DC12V power outputs. This device allows you to power non-PoE compatible devices, such as security cameras, wireless access points, speakers, and VoIP phones, using a single Ethernet cable from an IEEE802.3af/at compliant PoE switch or injector. It simplifies cabling and provides a reliable power solution for various network devices.

5. Setup & Connection
Follow these steps to connect your LINOVISION POE Splitter:
- Connect the RJ45 input port of the POE Splitter to an IEEE802.3af/at compliant PoE switch or PoE injector using an Ethernet cable.
- Connect the data output (RJ45) cable from the POE Splitter to the Ethernet input of your non-PoE device (e.g., IP camera, Wireless AP).
- Connect the DC12V power output cable from the POE Splitter to the DC power input of your non-PoE device. Use the provided DC 12V connectors if the device requires a different plug size.
- Ensure all connections are secure. The LED indicators on the splitter will illuminate to confirm power and data connectivity.
