12 Volt Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit
Chapter 1:
Product Overview
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Linksys 12 Volt Power Over
Ethernet Adapter Kit, comprised of the Injector and
Splitter. The Injector sends power and data over the
Ethernet cable to the Splitter. Then the Splitter separates
the data and power back into two cables and delivers
them to the remotely located access point or other
network device that requires a 12-volt power input. The
Injector can also be used by itself with any Power Over
Ethernet (POE)-enabled network device that accepts
48 volts directly on a POE port.
NOTE: If your Linksys product uses a 5-volt
power input, then you should use the 5-volt kit,
model number: WAPPOE.
