Network Splitter PLANET IPOE-173S Power over Ethernet PoE

PLANET IPOE-173S is an industrial-grade 802.3bt Power over Ethernet (PoE++) splitter that separates data and power from an 802.3bt PoE++ type-4 PSE over UTP cable. It provides a selectable DC output of 12V or 24V via a front-panel DIP switch and can deliver up to 70 W total to non-PoE devices. The splitter supports passive 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet links up to 100 meters and is built for industrial use with an operating temperature range of -40 to 75 °C. Housed in a compact IP30 metal case, the IPOE-173S supports DIN-rail or wall mounting and works with Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6 cabling.

Advantages

The IPOE-173S enables deployment of high-power non-PoE devices without additional AC wiring by extracting PoE++ power and delivering it via a DC jack and a 4-pin terminal block. Its selectable 12V/24V output increases application flexibility, while dual-output capability allows sharing up to 70 W between two devices. The device is ruggedized for industrial environments, supports Gigabit Ethernet data, and fits into limited cabinet space thanks to its slim design and multiple mounting options.

Suitable for

• High-power PTZ speed dome cameras
• Thin clients and All-in-One (AIO) touch PCs
• Remote digital signage displays
• IP cameras with auxiliary heaters or fans and pan/tilt motors
• Non-PoE network devices that require higher DC power

How to use

Connect the RJ45 data port of the IPOE-173S to the PoE++ PSE (injector or switch) using Cat5/5e/6 cable. Set the front-panel DIP switch to the required output voltage (12 V or 24 V). Use the DC jack or the 4-pin terminal block to power the non-PoE device(s); the RJ45 LAN port on the splitter carries only data to the device. For dual-output usage, distribute the available power between the two outputs ensuring their combined consumption does not exceed 70 W. Maintain cable runs within 100 meters from the PSE to ensure reliable power delivery.

Recommendations

Use with IEEE 802.3bt-compliant PSE (PoE++ injector or switch) to ensure correct power negotiation. Verify the power requirements of connected devices before selecting 12 V or 24 V and ensure the combined load on the splitter does not exceed 70 W. Install the unit in a location respecting its operating temperature range and provide adequate ventilation around the metal enclosure.
