Microsemi PD-AS-951
PoE Splitter for Powering Non-PoE Devices over Ethernet
Microsemi PD-AS-951 High-Power active splitter accepts PoE connection and splits the data stream and power delivery, and then sends them both to non-PoE devices. This splitter enables data terminals that were not originally designed to accept power from the Ethernet, to be powered by Power over Ethernet midspans. The PDAS- 951 High Power splitter (user selectable 12V or 24V) can power devices such as WiMAX CPEs, small WiMAX base-stations, 802.11n Access-Points, Thin- Clients, PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) IP Cameras, Video- Phones and more.
High Power Splitter Solution
Many contemporary terminals are designed and deployed without the ability to accept power via their LAN input. 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 PoE standard minimum voltage (44v in IEEE802.3af / 50v in 802.3at). Using the PD-AS-951 high power splitter, these terminals immediately become PoE-ready without any modification required on their side.
The splitter is identified as a powered device (PD) in front of the powering 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 (12V or 24V).
