PROCET Gigabit PoE Splitter 12V 5.95A - High Power PoE to DC Splitter

In this review the PROCET Gigabit PoE Splitter 12V/5.95A is evaluated for users who need to power non-PoE high-power devices from PoE sources. The bottom line: it is a purpose-built splitter that accepts 40-57Vdc from IEEE802.3af/at/bt Power Sourcing Equipment and delivers a stable 12V DC rail up to 5.95A, making it one of the few compact splitters that can reliably support devices requiring up to 71.4W from a single PoE feed. For installers and integrators who need rugged hardware and gigabit throughput without running separate power lines, this unit is worth considering.

Key Features

• Wide input range: Accepts 40-57Vdc from IEEE802.3af/at/bt PSE so it works with most standard PoE injectors and switches.
• High power output: Provides a 12V DC output at up to 5.95A so it can run high-power non-PoE devices such as DVRs and LCD monitors.
• Gigabit data pass-through: Supports 10/100/1000Mbps plug-and-play Ethernet so network speed is not sacrificed when splitting power and data.
• Industrial-grade construction: Rugged metal shell and isolated internal design protect the unit and connected equipment from mechanical and electrical stress.
• Energy efficient: Built with technology that increases energy efficiency to about 94%, which reduces wasted heat in tight installations.
• Flexible device support: Can power a variety of non-PoE devices like PTZ cameras, routers, LED strips, and NVRs without rewiring for mains power.

Who It's For

The PROCET splitter is aimed at network installers, security integrators, and small IT teams who need to power non-PoE devices from existing PoE infrastructure. Its ability to deliver up to 71.4W at 12V makes it particularly useful for powering high-draw devices in surveillance and communications systems where running separate AC lines is impractical.

It is less appropriate for casual home users who do not have PoE switches or injectors, or for devices that require other DC voltages without simple conversion. Also, if a device requires native PoE signaling rather than a DC feed, a true PoE-compatible powered device would be a better choice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Delivers high 12V current (5.95A) from PoE, enabling many non-PoE high-power devices to run from network cabling.
• Gigabit Ethernet pass-through preserves network performance for bandwidth-sensitive equipment.
• Rugged, isolated metal design improves durability and protects against input transients.

Cons

• Provides a fixed 12V output only, so devices needing different DC voltages will require a separate converter.
• Requires compatible IEEE802.3af/at/bt PSE and a PoE supply capable of delivering the higher wattage, which adds to system cost in some deployments.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The PROCET Gigabit PoE Splitter 12V/5.95A is a solid choice for professionals who need to power high-draw, non-PoE devices from existing PoE infrastructure. Its combination of high output power, gigabit data throughput, and industrial construction delivers good value for surveillance and communications installs where running separate power is costly or impractical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this splitter power PTZ cameras and DVRs?
Yes. With a 12V DC output at up to 5.95A (71.4W) it can power many PTZ cameras, DVRs, and other high-draw non-PoE devices as long as the device accepts 12V input.

Do I need a special PoE switch?
You need an IEEE802.3af/at/bt compliant PoE injector or switch that can supply sufficient wattage over the cable; standard PoE must meet the higher power requirement for full output.

Will network speed be affected?
No. The unit supports 10/100/1000Mbps gigabit Ethernet pass-through, so network throughput is preserved.
