Overview
The PL-POE-IR is an IR illuminator with passive POE. It uses 24 volts on pins 4,5 + and 7,8 - to power the 6 watt IR. The supplied injector / splitter allows a Mode A PoE switch to power a camera on the same CAT-5e cable. You will need all 4 pairs - 8 wires - connected in your long distance male-male ethernet cable.
Note: for this to work - the PoE switch must support 802.3af Mode A PoE If your switch is not Mode A - then the sharing will not work.
Here is how you can find out if your PoE switch is Mode A or not. Power your camera from your PoE switch. Now, unplug the cable to the camera, and insert the injector between the camera and the PoE switch. If the cameras does not power up, then your PoE switch is the lower cost Mode B type.
If your switch is Mode A - then connect:
- your PoE Switch to our injector male RJ45
- our injector female RJ45 to the long run cat-5 cable with all 4 pairs ( 8 wires ) to the splitter female RJ45
- our splitter male 2.1mm to the IR, our splitter male RJ45 to the camera
- our injector female 2.1mm to the 24v power supply
