Getting Started: PoE Power Connection
This guide details the initial setup for the Microchip PD-USB-DP60 using Power over Ethernet (PoE).
- Connect an IEEE® 802.3af/at/bt-compliant PSE to the PD-USB-DP60's "[PoE IN]" RJ45 socket using a standard Cat 5/5e/6 Ethernet cable. The maximum allowed length for the Ethernet cable is 100 meters.
-
Verify Power Status: Check that the "[Power]" LED is yellow. This indicates the PD-USB-DP60 is powered on.
-
Connect USB-C Cable: Connect one side of the supplied USB Type-C® cable to the PD-USB-DP60's USB-C socket. The connection polarity is not critical.
-
Connect Powered Device: Connect the other end of the USB Type-C cable to the USB-C powered device.
-
Confirm Power Delivery: Ensure the USB-C powered device is receiving power from the PD-USB-DP60.
Diagram Description: The PD-USB-DP60 device is depicted with two ports: an RJ45 Ethernet port labeled "[PoE IN]" and a USB Type-C port labeled "[USB-C]". The device also features indicator LEDs labeled "[Power]" and "[Link/Act]".
Alternative Power: USB Host Connection
If PoE power is unavailable, the PD-USB-DP60 can alternatively be powered from a USB Host.
- Connect one side of the supplied USB Type-C cable to the USB-C host.
- Connect the other side of the USB Type-C cable to the PD-USB-DP60's USB-C socket.
- Connect a standard Cat 5/5e/6 Ethernet cable from the PD-USB-DP60's "[PoE IN]" RJ45 socket to an IEEE 802.3 10/100/1000 Mbps network.

Notes and Driver Information
- For USB hosts running Windows®, the device driver typically installs automatically (plug and play). Linux® users may need to install drivers if the LAN7800 Ethernet controller is not detected. Apple® users also require driver installation.
- If the USB host fails to recognize the PD-USB-DP60 as a USB device, download and install the appropriate driver from the LAN7800 product page.
- Connecting multiple PD-USB-DP60 devices to the same PoE multiport midspan might impact data/power performance for connected USB-C devices (e.g., laptops), especially if they share common peripherals like monitors or projectors.
