Foscam and similar cameras use 5 volts, limiting passive power extenders to about 15 feet. With our 5v active splitters, you can make an extension of your connections to 328 ft - with both power and data sharing the Ethernet cable. Any 5v device (Cameras, modems, switches or USB chargers - even iPads ) can be remotely powered. We use passive POE and 24v for the lowest cost, most reliable solution, reducing the voltage to 5v at the remote end to effectively eliminate power loss. Also solves wifi range problems - the camera is connected via the same Ethernet cable for data too.

If you need to power from solar cells and a battery, then these are perfect, since the input range is 10v to 28v.

First generation Foscam cameras use 4 watts each - like these Foscam FI8910W, Foscam FI8909W , Foscam FI8908W , Foscam FI8607W Airsight, Tenvis, Wansview, Wanscam, EasyN, Apexis, Axis 206 and Axis 207, other cameras have more LEDs and more electronics and need up to 10 watts each.

We supply the 5v splitter, multiport injectors and 24v power supplies, or you can use your own. Reduce the mess of cables for up to 12 devices. Reboot all devices from one central location. We use these in our own installations and are making them available for others.

For Foscam PoE cameras like FI8905E, FI8910E or FI8918E, please use our 48v versions at 802.3af power supplies

For Foscam 12v cameras like FI9802W, FI8602W and FI8620, you can mix 5v and 12v cameras on the same multiport injector. Order below, or for more information, please see our Foscam 12v info page

Distance calculator

Above 24v, there is generally no significant distance limit to POE. However, at lower voltages we recommend the use of our Online POE distance, voltage and power calculator if you are curious about the operation of POE at voltage below 24v or at high currents.
