Is this UCTRONICS PoE splitter safe for my Raspberry Pi 4?

Yes, this UCTRONICS PoE splitter is designed to safely power your Raspberry Pi 4 and other compatible USB-C devices. It adheres to IEEE 802.3at/af standards, ensuring proper power negotiation and preventing overvoltage. It provides a stable 5V/4A output when used with an 802.3at PoE source, which is often more than official PoE HATs offer, ensuring steady performance for your Pi.

Can I use this PoE splitter with any PoE switch?

This splitter requires IEEE 802.3af/at compliant PoE switches or injectors for safe operation. Using non-standard (passive) PoE switches that deliver power without negotiation can lead to overvoltage and damage your connected devices. For best results and maximum power output, an 802.3at PoE switch is recommended.

What is the difference between 802.3af and 802.3at PoE for this splitter?

The main difference lies in the maximum power output. With an 802.3af PoE source, the splitter will output a maximum of 5V/2.5A. When connected to an 802.3at PoE source, it can deliver a higher output of 5V/4A, which is beneficial for power-hungry devices like the Raspberry Pi 4 running demanding applications.

Does this USB-C PoE splitter support Quick Charge (QC) or Power Delivery (PD) protocols?

No, this UCTRONICS PoE splitter does not support QC or PD protocols. It specifically adapts standard PoE power to a fixed 5V USB-C output. If your device requires QC or PD for charging, this splitter will not be compatible. It's designed for devices that accept a standard 5V USB-C power input.

How do I connect this PoE splitter?

You will need two Ethernet cables. Connect one cable from your PoE switch or injector to the 'PoE In' port on the splitter. Connect a second Ethernet cable from the 'Ethernet Out' port on the splitter to your device (like a Raspberry Pi or camera). The splitter then provides power via its USB-C output port.

Can this splitter be used for devices other than Raspberry Pi 4?

Yes, this splitter is suitable for any network device powered by USB-C that requires a 5V input and does not rely on QC or PD protocols. This includes some routers, IP cameras, and other USB-C powered network accessories. Ensure your device's power requirements are within the 5V/4A (or 2.5A for 802.3af) output range.

Will this adapter work with Indian voltage and power standards?

This adapter itself does not connect to a wall socket; it receives power via Power over Ethernet (PoE). As long as your PoE switch or injector is compatible with Indian electrical standards (which most modern network equipment is), this splitter will function correctly. It converts the PoE power to a standard 5V USB-C output, making it safe for use with devices designed for that input.

About this item

The UCTRONICS USB-C PoE Splitter efficiently converts Power over Ethernet (PoE) into a stable 5V/4A USB-C power source and Gigabit Ethernet connection. It's designed to work with IEEE 802.3at/af PoE switches or injectors, providing a cleaner power solution for devices like the Raspberry Pi 4, Google WiFi, and Nest IQ, especially in setups with multiple devices. This adapter offers a higher power output (up to 4A with 802.3at) compared to official PoE HATs, ensuring stable operation for power-hungry applications.

This splitter is a practical alternative to traditional wall chargers, allowing you to power your USB-C devices using a single Ethernet cable. It's useful for network devices like routers and cameras that require USB-C power. While it does not support QC or PD protocols, it effectively delivers power and data over Ethernet. For optimal performance, an 802.3at PoE switch and two Ethernet cables are recommended. Note that non-standard (passive) PoE switches can overvolt and damage devices.

For Indian users, this adapter simplifies network setups by consolidating power and data over Ethernet, eliminating the need for multiple adapters and power strips. It's compatible with standard Indian electrical systems as it draws power from the PoE source. All customs duties and GST are included in the listed price, and delivery is handled via ExpressBox with tracking, arriving within 12-14 days.

Key Features

PoE to USB-C: PoE signal adapted to USB-C power and Ethernet connection. Make full use of each port on your PoE switch. IEEE 802.3at PoE switches or injectors recommended for a larger power budget. Work with 802.3af PoE switches but will not output more than 2.5A. If you received something other than a USB C connector, please contact us.
Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4: The latest Raspberry Pi model is powered via a USB-C port, but sometimes you just dislike the wall chargers, especially when you have multiple Pis running at the same time and the adapters eat and intrude your whole power strips. You might want to check PoE switches and USB-C PoE splitters
Enhanced PoE HAT alternative: The official Raspberry Pi PoE HAT outputs 2.5A maximum at 5V, but you might need 3A and above. How to keep the PoE setup on Pi 4 stable and steady if you are on a power-hungry application? Just go with a 5V/4A PoE splitter
Other Type C uses: If you have a network device powered by USB-C (router, camera, etc.) and you want to deliver power and transfer data with a single Ethernet cable, or you’ve already had a PoE connection but want to use a USB-C 5V device with it, this might be helpful for you, but it does NOT support QC or PD protocols
NOTE: 1. You need a PoE switch or injector (better with 802.3at) and 2 Ethernet cables (a longer for PoE input and a shorter patch cable optional for Ethernet). 2. The 5V USB-C power is adapted from a 5.5x2.1mm barrel port, and you can adapt it to other ports if you get the right adapter
Non-Standard PoE Risk This splitter requires IEEE 802.3af/at PoE. Non-standard (passive) PoE switches deliver power without negotiation, which can Overvolt and damage connected devices
