Foscam POE5912 PoE Ethernet Splitter 5V-12V IEEE 802.3af

Power Your Legacy Devices Over Ethernet

The Foscam POE5912 PoE Splitter lets you drive non-PoE cameras or network devices using a single Ethernet cable. It cleanly separates the data and power streams, supporting selectable output voltages (5 V, 9 V, 12 V) to match device requirements.

Highlights

• IEEE 802.3af / IEEE 802.3at compliance

• Output voltages: 5 V (2 A), 9 V (1.1 A), 12 V (1 A)

• 10/100 Mbps data pass-through (Fast Ethernet) 

• Plug-and-play (no configuration needed) 

• Short-circuit protection built in

• Supports cable runs up to 100 m (Ethernet standard) 

• Compact size: 80 × 55 × 31 mm, weight ~ 76 g 

• Multiple DC tip connectors included (for various device jack types) 

Key Features

Voltage Selection Flexibility

• Use a DIP switch or jumper to choose between 5 V, 9 V or 12 V outputs depending on the powered device. 

• Higher current at lower voltage: e.g. 5 V output can supply up to 2 A; 12 V output up to ~1 A. 

Data & Power Separation

• Carries both data and power over a single cable to the splitter location.

• Splits into separate RJ-45 data output + DC power output to supply the device.

Compliance & Protection

• Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at PoE standards. 

• Includes short-circuit protection to safeguard both the splitter and the connected device.

Installation & Compatibility

• Works with standard PoE switches or injectors up to 100 m away.

• Includes interchangeable DC barrel connectors in typical sizes to match device input jacks.

• Supports EIA/TIA 568A and 568B wiring.

Summary / Conclusion

The Foscam POE5912 PoE Ethernet Splitter is a versatile, compact solution to power non-PoE devices such as legacy IP cameras, access points, or network devices using a single PoE cable. With support for selectable voltages (5 V, 9 V, 12 V), plug-and-play deployment, and protection features, it helps reduce wiring complexity and expand flexibility in installations. Ideal where power outlets are unavailable near the device.

Foscam POE5912 PoE Ethernet Splitter

The Foscam POE5912 (also marketed as POE5912G) is an IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant PoE splitter that separates power and data from a single Ethernet cable. It enables non-PoE devices such as IP cameras, wireless APs, or IoT devices to receive power via Ethernet without needing a local power outlet. Compatible output voltages (5 V, 9 V, 12 V) increase flexibility for different devices.
