Technical Overview
This signal splitter features two RJ-45 Ethernet ports that automatically negotiate connection speeds between 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps. The auto-MDI/MDI-X functionality eliminates the need for crossover cables, while the 5-12 VDC input range with 6-amp capacity provides compatibility with various PoE sources.
The splitter's compact design measures just 0.90" in height, 2.90" in width, and 4" in depth, with a lightweight 200-gram construction that facilitates easy deployment in space-constrained environments.
This section brings together practical product details such as Network (RJ-45), Number of Network (RJ-45) Ports, Height, Width, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
The LPS2001 extends the utility of existing PoE infrastructure by enabling power delivery to non-PoE devices without requiring separate power supplies or electrical outlets at the endpoint location. This reduces installation complexity and cost while maintaining network performance.
These strengths make the product easier to deploy and manage in real environments, especially where reliability, usability, and day-to-day operational continuity matter. Notable benefits include Universal PoE Compatibility, Maintained Data Integrity.
Universal PoE Compatibility
Works with both standard PoE (802.3af) and high-power PoE+ (802.3at) sources, providing flexibility across different network environments.
- Supports 15.4W PoE
- Supports 30W PoE+
- Auto-senses input type
Maintained Data Integrity
Preserves full Gigabit Ethernet throughput while separating power, ensuring network performance isn't compromised by the power splitting function.
- 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds
- Auto-MDI/MDI-X
- No data degradation
Deployment / Use Cases
This PoE+ splitter is ideal for extending PoE capabilities to legacy network devices or equipment not designed with native PoE support. Common applications include powering security cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and IoT sensors that require DC power but lack PoE circuitry.
The compact form factor makes it suitable for installation in network cabinets, ceiling mounts, or wall enclosures where space is limited. The TAA compliance ensures it meets government procurement requirements for telecommunications and networking equipment.
Security Camera Installation
Power analog or non-PoE IP cameras using existing PoE network switches, eliminating the need for separate power supplies at camera locations.
Wireless Network Expansion
Deploy additional wireless access points in areas without convenient power outlets by utilizing PoE from central network infrastructure.
Physical Profile
The splitter's slim profile and lightweight construction facilitate discreet installation in various environments. With dimensions under 3 inches wide and 4 inches deep, the unit fits easily in cable management areas, network enclosures, or behind equipment. The 200-gram weight allows for secure mounting with minimal support requirements.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 0.90" (22.86 mm), 2.90" (73.66 mm), 4" (101.60 mm), 200 g. This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What devices can I power with this PoE+ splitter?
The Black Box LPS2001 can power any DC-powered device that operates within its 5-12 VDC output range and draws up to 1.7 amps. Common applications include security cameras, wireless access points, network switches, VoIP phones, and IoT sensors that lack native PoE support but have DC power inputs.
Does this splitter support Gigabit Ethernet speeds?
Yes, the splitter fully supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) as well as 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps speeds. The auto-negotiating ports automatically detect and configure the optimal connection speed between connected devices without compromising data throughput.
What PoE standards does this splitter work with?
The LPS2001 is compatible with both IEEE 802.3af (standard PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standards. It automatically senses the input power type and adjusts accordingly, providing flexibility across different network environments with varying PoE capabilities.
What is the maximum power output of this splitter?
The splitter can deliver up to 12 volts DC at 1.7 amps, providing approximately 20.4 watts of power to connected devices. This output range accommodates most low-to-mid-power network peripherals that require DC power but lack native PoE circuitry.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates that this product meets U.S. government procurement requirements for telecommunications and networking equipment. This certification ensures the splitter is manufactured in a TAA-designated country (Taiwan) and qualifies for use in government contracts and installations.
How many devices can I connect to this splitter?
The splitter features two RJ-45 Ethernet ports: one for connecting to your PoE source (switch or injector) and one for connecting to your powered device. It is designed to power a single non-PoE device while maintaining data connectivity between that device and your network infrastructure.
