Active POE Splitter compatible with all Amcrest/Foscam IP Cameras The Active PoE Splitter splits a networked PoE signal into a separate power and ethernet data source. This device allows you to run ethernet cables from a POE Switch over long distances and then split the PoE signal into a separate data and power sources in order to run non-PoE devices. This active PoE splitter can output voltages of 5V 9V or 12V which makes it compatible with all Amcrest/Foscam IP Cameras. A POE Splitter allow you to install an IP Camera without worrying about the location as there is no need to have a power outlet or power supply connected to the camera. Connect an ethernet cable that is connected to a POE Switch to one end of the splitter then connect the other end of the splitter to the camera using the correct voltage.
