Edimax GP-101ST — power a non-PoE device from a PoE+ port
IEEE 802.3at input5 / 9 / 12 V DCGigabitY-cable included
The Edimax GP-101ST is a Gigabit PoE+ splitter that takes IEEE 802.3at/af power from a PoE switch or injector and splits it into a DC output plus a Gigabit data port. It is the simple way to install a camera, access point, router or other network device that has no PoE input, using one Ethernet cable.
A slide switch selects 5 V, 9 V or 12 V DC, each at up to 2 A, and LEDs show the selected voltage. The included DC Y-cable carries two plug sizes — 5.5 × 2.1 mm and 3.5 × 1.35 mm — which cover most small network devices. The splitter accepts PoE on either Mode A or Mode B pairs.
Before you order: Select the correct voltage before connecting the device — a wrong setting can damage it. The maximum current is 2 A on every voltage, so a 12 V device that needs more than 24 W will not run.
What's in the Box
- GP-101ST PoE+ splitter
- DC Y-cable (5.5 × 2.1 mm and 3.5 × 1.35 mm plugs)
- Quick installation guide
What It Means in Practice
- One cable from the PoE switch replaces the power adapter and the socket at the device.
- The Y-cable means the plug size usually fits without an extra adapter.
- Works with 802.3af and 802.3at sources and with Mode A or Mode B power pairs.
- Small enough (63 × 64 × 23 mm, 65 g) to hide behind a camera or in a ceiling box.
What Will Not Work
- It does not output 24 V or 48 V.
- It does not create PoE — an 802.3af/at switch or injector is needed upstream.
- It does not pass PoE through to a PoE device.
- It is not weatherproof.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it power a 12 V IP camera?
Yes, if the camera needs up to 2 A at 12 V. Set the switch to 12 V before connecting.
Does the plug fit my device?
The Y-cable has 5.5 × 2.1 mm and 3.5 × 1.35 mm plugs, the two most common sizes on network equipment. Tell us the device model and we will check.
Can it be used with a passive 24 V PoE injector?
No. It is designed for IEEE 802.3af/at sources.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
A PoE+ splitter saves running mains power to cameras and small devices that lack PoE. Check the device voltage, current and plug size before ordering. For cameras with built-in PoE, see our
IP cameras.
✓ Buy it if you need 5, 9 or 12 V DC plus Gigabit data at a device that has no PoE input.
✕ Skip it if the device already takes PoE or needs 24 V / 48 V.
→ Also consider the Edimax GP-101IT PoE+ injector if your switch has no PoE.
