Microsemi PD-AS-601/12 Fiche De Données
PowerDsine’s active splitters enable data terminals that were not originally designed to accept
power from the Ethernet, to be powered by standard Power over Ethernet switches and midspans.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology enables IP
telephones, wireless LAN access points, security
network cameras and other types of data terminals
to receive power, along with data, over standard
Ethernet cables upon which data and power flow in
parallel.
Although a standard defining PoE already exists (IEEE
802.3af), many contemporary terminals are designed
and deployed without the ability to accept power via
their LAN input – a basic requirement of the standard.
Such devices can only accept power through their
DC jack while their RJ45 input accepts only data.
Moreover, such devices might only accept voltage
levels lower than the standard’s 48 volts dc.
Using the active splitter, these terminals immediately
become PoE–ready without any modification required
on their side.
Data Sheet
Power over Ethernet Active Splitter Series
Conver ts standard 48V to 5V-12V-18V to match terminal specifications
The splitter is being identified as a powered
device (PD) in front of the switch (or midspan)
and after being detected and powered, it physically
splits the data and power streams, arriving over
a single cable, into two separate cords (LAN &
DC) which go directly to the data terminal. Voltage
regulation is also performed to the level required
by the terminal (18V or 12V or 5V).
