The Cisco POES5 5-Volt Power over Ethernet Splitter lets you put your Cisco Small Business IP Phones almost anywhere, by removing the requirement for a nearby power outlet. The POES5 sends power & voice over IP (Vo IP) over one Category 5 cable to your Cisco phone. When its time to add or relocate a phone, the POES5 can simplify your installation. The Cisco POES5 provides an 802.3af Power over Ethernet (Po E) port for connection to a Po E switch. The compact POES5 connects to the standard DC power input & RJ-45 Ethernet port on the Cisco IP phone (or other supported Cisco Small Business Vo IP product) via two "split" cables. The POES5 can then be tucked away & concealed in the stand attached to the Cisco Small Business IP Phone. Simplify your installation & place your Cisco Small Business IP Phones, or any of the other supported Cisco Small Business Vo IP products, in a preferred spot with the Cisco POES5 5-Volt Power over Ethernet Splitter.
