Tycon POE-PowerTap – RJ45 Connector

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.
