The Tycon POE-PowerTap – RJ45 Connector is a compact, in-line PoE voltage extractor/injector designed for quick access to PoE power from an RJ‑45 Ethernet cable. Ideal for technicians and field installations, it enables feeding 44–57 VDC PoE power (active IEEE 802.3af/at/bt or passive) to non‑PoE devices via a simple wire terminal. With a rugged metal housing, high-temperature tolerance, and surge protection, it delivers reliable performance in harsh and industrial environments. ⚡ Electrical Specifications PoE Input Compatibility: Active IEEE 802.3af/at/bt or 44–57 VDC passive PoE, 2- or 4-pair Voltage Output: Same as input (44–57 VDC) with ~98% efficiency Maximum Output Power: Up to 90 W Maximum Output Current: 2 A continuous Connector Type: Input: Shielded RJ‑45 jack Output: Two-position wire terminal (up to 12 AWG wire capacity) LED Indicator: Power-on/status indicator ��️ Mechanical & Physical Specifications Enclosure: Compact metal housing (EMI shielding, surge suppression) Dimensions: 32 × 13 × 15 mm (1.25″ × 0.5″ × 0.6″) Weight: ~5 g (0.2 oz) Mounting: Optional mounting tabs for secure placement �� Environmental Ratings Operating Temperature: –40 °C to 70 °C (–40 °F to 158 °F) Storage Temperature: –40 °C to 80 °C (–40 °F to 176 °F) Operating Humidity: 5% to 90% (non-condensing) �� Protections, Compliance & Reliability Surge & ESD Protection: IEC 61000‑4‑2, 30 kV air/contact discharge Overload Protection: Built-in current limiting to protect loads Standards Compliance: Compatible with IEEE 802.3af/at/bt, RoHS compliant MTBF: Approximately 962,000 hours (MIL‑HDBK‑217F @70 °C) Warranty: 3‑year limited manufacturer warranty �� Typical Applications Extracting PoE to power non-Ethernet devices like LED lighting, sensors, or relays Field diagnosis and monitoring of PoE voltage levels Temporary or emergency DC power from PoE sources inside enclosures or telecom racks Industrial or utility installations where PoE needs to feed external hardware Meta Description: Tycon POE‑PowerTap is a compact PoE extractor/splitter that taps Ethernet PoE (active or passive) and outputs up to 90 W on a wire terminal. It features an EMI-protected metal housing, LED status, wide temperature range, surge protection, and a 3‑year warranty—ideal for powering DC devices or testing PoE systems in industrial environments.
