Digital Watchdog DW-POEEX2 2-port Gigabit Poe Splitter

Product Description

The DIGITAL WATCHDOG DW-POEEX2 is a 2-port gigabit Power over Ethernet splitter designed to extend PoE connectivity in network installations. It allows a single PoE source to supply power and data to devices that require separate power and data inputs, eliminating the need for additional power runs to remote endpoints. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage installers deploy this unit in structured cabling environments where endpoint devices lack native PoE support. Gigabit throughput ensures the splitter does not create a bandwidth bottleneck in high-speed network segments.

The DW-POEEX2 is suited for commercial and residential network installations where PoE-capable switches or injectors feed devices such as IP cameras, access control readers, or wireless access points. It is installed inline between the PoE source and the end device, converting the combined power-and-data signal into separate outputs. This makes it a practical solution in retrofits and new construction alike, particularly where endpoint hardware does not carry an onboard PoE receiver.

Key Features

• 2-port gigabit configuration supports full 1 Gbps data throughput
• Splits PoE power and data to devices without native PoE support
• Inline installation requires no additional power infrastructure at the endpoint
• Sold as a single unit (EA), suitable for targeted deployment or bulk integration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental unit compatible with standard IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE network environments. No specific model compatibility data was provided in the source input.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or licensed network cabling professionals. Disconnect or power down the PoE source switch or injector port before connecting or disconnecting the splitter. Follow TIA-568 structured cabling standards and applicable local low-voltage codes when routing Ethernet runs to the device. Do not exceed the rated power delivery limits of the upstream PoE source when using multiple splitters on the same switch.
