MT-VIKI 48V POE Ethernet Splitter 1 to 2 1000Mbps User Manual

1. Introduction

This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the MT-VIKI 48V POE Ethernet Splitter 1 to 2 1000Mbps. This device is designed to extend Ethernet cables from a PoE Switch over long distances and split the PoE signal for use with PoE IP cameras, IP speakers, IP phones, and other PoE-compatible devices at speeds up to 1000 Mbps. It is engineered for efficient power and data transmission without requiring an external power supply when connected to a PoE switch.

2. Product Features

• POE Gigabit Ethernet Splitter: Allows splitting a single PoE Ethernet signal into two outputs at speeds up to 1000 Mbps, ideal for connecting multiple PoE devices.
• No External Power Supply Required (with PoE Switch): When connected to a PoE switch, the splitter draws power directly from the Ethernet cable, simplifying wiring.
• 60W High-Power Output: Supports high-power output, ensuring adequate power supply for connected devices and smooth data transmission.
• Unlimited Cascading Support: Multiple PoE Ethernet splitters can be daisy-chained for extended network reach and cleaner wiring. Note: A 48V power adapter is required at the last LAN splitter in a daisy chain.
• 200m (656ft) Long-Distance Transmission: Capable of transmitting data up to 200 meters while maintaining full 1000Mbps speed, ensuring clear and smooth image capture for IP webcams.
• Compact and Lightweight Design: The device features a durable aluminum alloy casing, making it easy to integrate into various setups.

4. Setup and Installation

The MT-VIKI POE Ethernet Splitter offers flexible connection options depending on your network setup. Please follow the appropriate instructions below:

4.1. Connecting to a POE Switch (No External Power Supply Required)

This is the most common and convenient setup for PoE-enabled networks.

1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your PoE Switch to the IN port of the MT-VIKI POE Ethernet Splitter.
2. Connect Ethernet cables from the OUT1 and OUT2 ports of the splitter to your PoE IP cameras, IP speakers, IP phones, or other PoE devices.
3. The splitter will draw power directly from the PoE switch, and no additional power adapter is needed.

4.2. Connecting to a Normal LAN Switch (48V DC Power Adapter Required)

If your LAN switch does not provide PoE, an external power supply is necessary.

1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your normal LAN Switch to the IN port of the MT-VIKI POE Ethernet Splitter.
2. Plug a DC 48V 1A power adapter (not included) into the power input port of the splitter.
3. Connect Ethernet cables from the OUT1 and OUT2 ports of the splitter to your PoE IP cameras, IP speakers, IP phones, or other PoE devices.

4.3. For Regular Network Port Expansion (5V DC Power Adapter Required)

If you intend to use the device solely as a LAN expander without PoE functionality (e.g., connecting a PC and Internet TV), a 5V power adapter is needed.

1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your wall network outlet or router to the IN port of the MT-VIKI POE Ethernet Splitter.
2. Plug a 5V 1A power adapter (not included) into the power input port of the splitter.
3. Connect Ethernet cables from the OUT1 and OUT2 ports of the splitter to your non-PoE devices such as a PC and Internet TV.

4.4. Long-Distance Transmission and Cascading

The splitter supports long-distance transmission up to 200m (656ft) and can be daisy-chained for even greater distances. For daisy-chaining, ensure a 48V power adapter is added at the last splitter in the chain to maintain power integrity.

5. Operating Instructions

Once properly connected according to the setup instructions, the MT-VIKI POE Ethernet Splitter operates automatically. It functions as a pass-through device for both data and power (when PoE is active).

• Power Indicator: The device features a power indicator light. Ensure it is illuminated to confirm the splitter is receiving power.
• Link/Activity Indicators: Each RJ45 port has indicator lights that show network link status and data activity. A solid light typically indicates a successful connection, while a blinking light indicates data transmission.
• Gigabit Speed: The splitter supports Gigabit (1000Mbps) speeds. Ensure your connected devices and network infrastructure also support Gigabit Ethernet for optimal performance.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your MT-VIKI POE Ethernet Splitter, consider the following maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the device. Avoid using liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Environment: Operate the splitter in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, and corrosive substances.
• Cable Management: Ensure Ethernet cables are not excessively bent or kinked, as this can affect data transmission.
• Firmware: There is no user-upgradable firmware for this device.
