Full details

This Lindy PoE to Type C Splitter Converter (MPN: 73474) is designed for IT professionals and network installers who need to power non-PoE devices from a Power over Ethernet source. Its key benefit is providing both gigabit Ethernet data and up to 45W of power via a USB-C connection, eliminating the need for local power outlets near the device. A potential caveat is its reliance on a compatible PoE input source.

FAQs

Does this converter provide PoE output on its RJ45 port?

No, the converter splits the incoming PoE signal. The RJ45 port provides gigabit Ethernet data, and the USB-C port provides power and charging. It does not output PoE power.

What is the maximum power output of the USB-C port?

The USB-C port can provide up to 45W of power. It automatically adjusts the voltage output based on the connected device's requirements.

Do I need a separate power supply for this converter?

No, the converter is self-powered from the PoE input signal. It does not require an external power adapter.

What PoE standards does this device support?

It supports IEEE802.3af (PoE), IEEE802.3at (PoE+), and IEEE802.3bt (Ultra PoE++) standards.

Can I use this converter to power a standard Ethernet switch?

This converter is designed to power non-PoE devices from a PoE source. It is not intended to be powered by PoE itself to then output PoE to other devices.

What devices can be powered by the USB-C port?

It can power and charge a wide range of USB-C devices that support Power Delivery, including laptops, tablets, smartphones, and certain single-board computers.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The product comes with a 2-year warranty.

Troubleshooting

No power output from USB-C port.

Verify that the input Ethernet cable is connected to a functioning PoE source (switch or injector) that supports IEEE802.3af/at/bt standards. Check if the status LED is illuminated.

No network connectivity through the RJ45 port.

Ensure the input Ethernet cable is correctly connected to the PoE input port and the output RJ45 port is connected to your network device. Confirm the PoE source is active.

Device connected to USB-C port is not charging or charging slowly.

Confirm the connected device supports USB Power Delivery (PD) and is compatible with the voltage profiles offered by the converter. Ensure the cable used is rated for the required power output.

Converter is not detected or is unstable.

Check all cable connections for looseness. Try a different Ethernet cable and a different PoE port on your switch. Ensure the operating temperature is within the device's specifications.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consolidates power and data delivery over a single Ethernet cable.
  • Supports high power output (up to 45W) via USB-C, suitable for demanding devices.
  • Wide compatibility with various PoE standards and non-PoE devices.
  • Simple, tool-free installation requires no additional power adapter.
  • Built-in safety features protect connected equipment.

Cons

  • Requires a compatible PoE-enabled network switch or injector as input.
  • The RJ45 port on the converter itself is for data only and does not output PoE.
  • May not be suitable for scenarios requiring more than 45W of power delivery.
  • No advanced management features are included.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect an IEEE802.3af/at/bt compliant PoE network cable to the converter's PoE input port.
  2. Connect your non-PoE device (e.g., laptop, tablet, access point) to the converter's USB-C port for power and charging.
  3. Connect your network device (e.g., computer, switch) to the converter's RJ45 Ethernet output port for data.

Compatibility:

  • PoE Input: Compatible with IEEE802.3af, IEEE802.3at, and IEEE802.3bt PoE standards.
  • Data Output: RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Mbps).
  • Power Output: USB Type-C, supporting PD 3.0 profiles: 5V/3.4A, 9V/3A, 12V/3A, 15V/3A, 20V/2.25A (Max 45W).
  • Devices: Suitable for non-PoE devices including laptops, tablets, IP cameras, access points, routers, and more.

Care:

  • Keep the converter in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating.
  • Clean only with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid liquids and abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the Ethernet cable connections are secure but not forced.
