POE Combiner Splitter Adapter, Run 2 IP Cameras on 1 Cable, Works on All POE Switches, POE NVR and POE Cameras, Mode A and B POE Compatible

This splitter is what I've needed for years. It saved me from running another 100' of cat 6e cable. At first I didn't have much hope it would work until I found out that the one I was trying was defective. I returned it, and Amazon promptly sent a replacement next day. Well, I have been testing it for 3 months in house, until I add it to the security load. Works great, and I bought 3 more. Great price too. Can be used in the elements, or hidden under the eves.

This worked very well for me.. My original cable is about 75ft (23m). After installing the splitters, i extended one PoE camera another 30ft (9m) and both cameras work well.The only thing i did was determine which cable split corresponds to the far end cable split. That was simple by setting up everything next to my PoE switch and just plug one end at a time and see which cable end powered up the camera and i just marked each end with a cable marker.

I bought one about six months ago after researching. Then bought a few more! Was a little unsure with the first one if it would work initially, given the power draw by two devices. But it has a switch for two types of wiring, good just in case! And I used the higher power PoE+ switch that was 802.3AT compliant. PoE switches that are only 802.3AF compliant don't put out nearly as much power on the line. So make sure your PoE switch is 802.3AF (PoE+) compliant. May work with one that's only 802.3AT, but I wouldn't try it to find out unless you already had one there. The better PoE+ switches aren't expensive.I had a PoE wired Ring cam, but wanted to add a Reolink PTZ camera about 15ft from the Ring cam that was also wired PoE without running an entire new cable. Easy to install, and both devices powered up and connected without any issues. Still running without a glitch 4 months later. So if you were going to use it to connect say two Ring or similar PoE cameras, it would have no problem with it as I'm fairly sure the Reolink PTZ cam pulls more power than the Ring cam with it's auto tracking.I wouldn't experiment with cheaper PoE splitters. This one is well engineered and won't let you down.

It works, but I would have changed a few things... thing 1, the waterproof connectors are junk. I've done plenty of outdoor POE camera installs and there are connectors that work, and connectors that don't. These don't. I always use dielectric grease in the plugs to help with moisture resistance and even though I did that, I had this unit out for one day. One day! And rain came, water got in, and some of the cheap contacts in there rusted out. Probably shorted the POE if I had to guess (no damage to the switch though, a good POE switch knows when that happens and cuts off power).Thing 2, rather than having RJ-45 sockets on the output side, I would have preferred RJ-45 plugs. That's just me, so maybe there should be an option. As it is, for my install I had two cameras right there on a pole, basically facing forward and backward. So to use this, I had to grab a couple short cables to stick in between which just means even more watertight connectors to deal with, etc.When I had my water ingress and rusted pin, I just got done snipping off that particular socket (I think it was camera 1). I tested which color wires went to which pins so I could just wire it up to a new RJ-45 plug, which is currently working okay, and now I've avoided one extra ethernet cable on my setup. However, there's precious little slack on those wires where it splits out, so there's no way I could get a waterproof connector on. I'll have to stick with electrical tape and the aforementioned dielectric grease. Plus it helps to position the connection in a way that gravity will not let water pool into the socket itself.For anyone else who might need to rewire this... I didn't cut off the pigtail going to the 2nd camera, but at least on the first one (and you know which one is #1 because it's using pins 1,2,3 and 6 ... the other one uses 4,5,7,8), the wire colors are: #1 = white, #2 = yellow, #3 = black, and #6 = red. Wire those to an RJ-45 plug and you can do it too.Bear in mind, these wires in there are kind of cheap stranded wires, so good luck pushing it into your RJ-45. I tried and tried... eventually I had to strip back just a little bit of the wire itself and tin it with fresh solder, and that lets you push it into the plug and crimp it. It's also a pain in the neck to wire when you're only dealing with 4... pushing in all 8 wires is pretty easy because you just line them up and go. With 4, and using 1,2,3,6, it's kind of tricky to get it just right, so it takes some time and patience.Now, I figure I could have returned this since it's literally 2 days old and already rusted and broken, but I can't say for sure if the water issue was my fault or the crummy waterproof connector, so I sucked it up and fixed it on my own.For all the other connections, I made sure to use generous electrical tape now on all those joints. I figure water just got in past the rubber grommet where the wire goes in, because it's not really that tight, so taping it there to prevent water from getting there in the first place helps. I've done that in other spots where the connector seemed dubious. Time will tell if it all holds.

I bought two splitters and both did not work. Only one side of the splitter worked as I switched the cameras feeds but one side was dead on both splitters. Amazon offered to send me two replacements but I just don't trust the manufacturer at all. Just don't waste your time with this item.

These have been great. So much more efficient that running an additional wire especially when the access is not convenient. Not sure if it supports gigabit speed but I have not had and issues with 4-5 of these on a system.

I had a buried line running in conduit to a tree for a camera and realized, I could eliminate 2 others from my house if I had another one in the same tree....IPCamPower to the rescue! Worth the money vs. time/effort to run another line. Initially, only 1 of the ports was active, but flipping the switch for that port fixed it. I'm assuming my cables are not as expected. I was VERY happy when it worked.I highly recommend it. It seems well-built and the instructions are fine...really, plug it in and go. If something is not working, try flipping switches (1 thing at a time, also make sure the cable you're using works, etc..). I had a bit of a tough time cramming all of the cables and the adapter into the junction box. I could have left it all out in the weather using the included caps.I'm very pleased. I see no loss of signal over the 2 cameras now running over the 1 cable. Power is good. I didn't measure anything but the video is perfect from both cameras. I'm running an 8MP and 5MP Foscam camera with no problems.
