Review on UCTRONICS 802 3Af Splitter Ethernet Raspberry by Heidi Massine

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great, Gigabit, connect to any 802.113af switch for power

Great for powering a computer with an Intel W5 flash drive through an 802.113af (PoE+) switch Make sure your power supply (switch/router) supports PoE+, it won't magically be powered by an old Ethernet switch or router. I am using Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 24 250W. It would be nice if the power cord was an adjustable length or a bit longer as I need to connect the ethernet port to a USB ethernet dongle which makes the power and ethernet cables two different lengths which looks a bit clunky though it is unfair to expect the manufacturer to provide for such use. In any case, this is just a minor aesthetic issue. It is 100% functional. It should power almost any microUSB powered device well. So far I've used it on Canary and Intel W5.

Pros
  • Long range
Cons
  • Not secure
