Foscam PD15 PoE Ethernet Splitter 25W Output

Deliver Power and Data Over a Single Cable

The Foscam PD15 PoE Splitter lets you power non-PoE IP devices (such as older cameras) using a single Ethernet cable. It cleanly splits the combined power + data feed into separate outputs (voltage + data), simplifying deployments and reducing cabling complexity.

Highlights

• Fully IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at compliant, supporting up to 25.4 W output power

• Compatible with 5 V / 12 V / 24 V DC output options 

• Plug-and-play design, no configuration required 

• Enables non-PoE devices to receive power over Ethernet

• Compact form factor, easy to integrate into camera installations

Key Features

Power & Compliance

• IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at Support: Automatically negotiate with PoE source (PSE) to draw appropriate energy.

• Up to 25.4 W PoE Output: Allows powering more demanding cameras or devices.

• Selectable Output Voltages: Switch between 5 V, 12 V, or 24 V depending on device requirement. 

• Protection Mechanisms: Built-in safeguards for overcurrent, short circuit, and thermal protection (typical for such splitters)

Data & Signal Handling

• Ethernet Data Pass-Through: Data and power travel on the same cable; split at the device end

• Supports Standard Cable Runs: Works over typical Cat5e / Cat6 runs (up to 100 m for data)

• No Configuration Required: Just connect, no software or settings needed

Installation & Compatibility

• Compact Design: Minimal footprint, fits into junction boxes or camera enclosures

• Flexible Integration: Ideal for retrofitting non-PoE cameras or devices

• Works with Broad Range Devices: Though branded by Foscam, works with any device compatible with selected output voltage

Summary / Conclusion

The Foscam PD15 PoE Ethernet Splitter is a smart, cost-efficient solution to power non-PoE devices using your existing Ethernet infrastructure. By supporting up to 25.4 W output and selectable voltages, it provides flexibility for various camera models. Its plug-and-play simplicity, compliance with IEEE PoE standards, and protective features make it a reliable add-on for surveillance or network deployments where power outlets are scarce.
