This product is great for me. I can connect a non Power Over Ethernet device up to my Power Over Ethernet switch and get both power and an ethernet connection to my device. Of course, the device will have to accept 12 v dc to take advantage of this device or get a cheap voltage converter that will deliver the correct voltage from the 12 volts that is delivered. I use this to run a raspberry Pi Single board Computer. The RPi uses 5 volts for power so I have a small power converter to give the correct voltage. This is a cheaper way to power my RPi and get ethernet to it without having to purchase the RPi extra equipment. It works great and I'm happy with the purchase. It seems to be quality made and I expect to be using this for quite awhile.

My outdoor surveillance camera setup consists several pairs of unbranded IP cameras - none with POE capability built in. Each camera uses its own 12 volt DC adapter and it really looks awful - cables dangling everywhere.SICSOLINK came along with these POE coverter/adapters that allow me to pare down my setup to just a single ethernet cable per camera. These devices work exactly as they claim to, let there be no doubt.The two worst of my cameras are PTZ with dual infrared & visible lighting - the power supply for such cameras is a 2000ma @ 12vdc - when I've tried to use a 1500ma power supply with them (no, it didn't work) the cameras would get stuck in reset loops, because there was not enough current to power the pan/tilt motors plus the visible white lights on the cameras unless 2000ma was provided.These SICSOLINK devices are supplying all the necessary current over a 100' long piece of Cat5e cable with 22awg conductors - not fancy and certainly not the best cable for the job - but I'm impressed, because the cameras are operating very stably.I did not use any measuring equipment to verify that the output of these POE converters, just observations of operation. For reference, my POE switch lists it's output as '48~52vdc at 35w'Bottom line; These are working fantastic on my network, two of my cameras are operating correctly - minus a lot of extra unnecessary wiring.These POE converters have operated so well that I'm purchasing 4 more sets (2 per set) to retrofit 7 other cameras in my ad-hoc surveillance setup. I can wholeheartedly recommend these POE concerter/adapters for any IP camera network or even for powering access points. I tested one of these devices to see how it could handle a Wifi6 AP out in my garage...as with the cameras, it worked without a hitch...and without it's plug in, 12 volt wall wart.For what these devices do, they're well worth the price point! They have been a game changer for me.Two big thumbs up - thank you SICSOLINK - you made my day!

I use a lot of equipment that benefits highly from being able to be powered by the network cable. Specifically, VOIP phones, security cameras, and embedded processors similar to Raspberry Pi's and/or Arduinos. Little devices like these work wonderfully for providing power to some of my legacy equipment that isn't natively PoE compatible and I already have a couple of similar devices powering two of my older PTZ security cameras. These specific devices are going to be used with a door controller I'm building up that makes use of a BTT Pi, which I find works even better with this type device than a real Raspberry Pi does, as it has a native 12V input, so I don't have to use a buck converter to re-regulate the voltage from this down to 5V. Additionally, my Arduino Uno's and Mega's have a power jack that is directly compatible with these and these are way cheaper than a PoE shield is and don't block any pins I'd need for other purposes (like an actual Ethernet shield). I also find that devices like these work quite nicely for remotely powering 12V cooling fans in out of the way places around some of my network gear.I did a couple of quick tests with an existing 802.3af switch I had handy and I had no problem getting a network connection through the adapter and a quick test of the output with a multimeter revealed a relatively stable 12.24V unloaded, which is exactly where I would hope to see it. I also did a quick loading test and the voltage remained stable up to around 1A and then began to fall off, so the "real" output rating on these should be 1A rather than 2A, but for my purposes around a 12W total power budget should be fine in most cases.While I do wish these actually worked all the way up to 2A output (and I'm docking a star because they shouldn't list it if they can't support it), but for the price, I'm not complaining. About the only other thing I wish is that they also made these in 5V versions or ones with USB-C connector outputs, but 12V works for 3/4 of the stuff I need these for and simple step-down regulators are fairly easy to wire up when I do need a lower voltage.For the price, even with only 1A output, these are still a really good deal and very useful for projects like my own!

The central network switch in my home is PoE, and I use that to power several downstream switches, some wireeless access points, and various other devices (Raspberry Pis, an iPad, a small display for my security system). Using PoE in this way is extremely handy, as all of these devices are protected by the UPS in my network rack, and can be turned off and on remotely by enabling or disabling the corresponding port.I do, however, have a few small switches that aren't PoE powered, and did not participate in this scheme. I had to get mini-UPS devices for them to allow them to run through power outages. However, instead of replacing them with new switches, I can power them using this splitter. This provides a nice, stable 12v power source, and conencts to the switch via the same barrel jack its normal power supply uses.This will work with any 12v devices that draw 2A or less, which covers *a lot* of devices. I'm actually considering making a small, PoE-powered NAS device around this adapter; I can get everything I need for it (power and network connection) through a single Ethernet cable.
