The CUI Inc PBO-5C-15 is a compact, high-efficiency power over Ethernet (PoE) splitter that separates power and data from an Ethernet cable, delivering DC output to non-PoE devices. This device is ideal for environments where PoE-enabled networking equipment, such as routers and switches, is used, but the connected device does not support PoE natively. The PBO-5C-15 is designed to provide an easy solution for powering non-PoE devices, like IP cameras, wireless access points, and small networked devices, without the need for additional power supplies.

Key Features:

* Power over Ethernet (PoE) Input: The PBO-5C-15 accepts power from a PoE-enabled network device, such as a PoE injector or switch, and splits the power and data into separate outputs.
* DC Output Voltage: It provides a 5V DC output, which is perfect for powering 5V devices directly from the Ethernet connection.
* Compact Design: The device is designed with a compact form factor that allows easy integration into tight spaces, making it suitable for a variety of installations, especially in security, surveillance, and network infrastructure.
* High Efficiency: The PBO-5C-15 features high conversion efficiency, ensuring minimal energy loss during the conversion process. This leads to lower operational costs and more sustainable operation.
* LED Indicator: The device includes an LED indicator that shows the status of the power input, allowing users to easily monitor its performance.
* Overload and Short-Circuit Protection: The PBO-5C-15 is equipped with built-in protection mechanisms to safeguard both the splitter and the connected devices against overloads and short circuits.
* Compliance with IEEE 802.3af Standard: It complies with the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard, which ensures compatibility with most PoE-enabled equipment.

Specifications:

* Input Voltage: 44V to 57V DC (Compliant with IEEE 802.3af standard for PoE)
* Output Voltage: 5V DC
* Output Current: 3A (max)
* Output Power: 15W (max)
* Efficiency: >90% at full load
* Operating Temperature: 0°C to +70°C
* Storage Temperature: -40°C to +85°C
* Dimensions: 71 x 52 x 30 mm (L x W x H)
* Weight: 90g (approx.)
* Protection: Overload, short-circuit, and overvoltage protection

Applications:
The CUI Inc PBO-5C-15 is widely used in scenarios where devices require a reliable 5V power source but do not support PoE. Common applications include:

* IP Cameras: Powering network cameras that require 5V DC but are connected to a PoE-enabled network.
* Wireless Access Points (WAPs): Providing power to non-PoE wireless access points in network setups.
* VoIP Phones: Powering VoIP phones that need 5V DC for operation.
* Small Network Devices: Powering devices like network printers, sensors, or any IoT devices that require 5V DC.

The CUI Inc PBO-5C-15 is a versatile and efficient solution for creating a clean power supply from a PoE network connection, ensuring devices that don’t natively support PoE can still be powered and function in a networked environment.
