My aims in this review are to explain what PoE is, how you can use it, and compare the Microchip PoE to USB-C Power and Data Adapter with other PoE options for your devices. Because I didn't have an actual "kiosk PC" available to test, nor an IEEE 802.3bt switch or PoE injector, I decided to make a miniature kiosk computer by adding a Pimoroni Hyperpixel touchscreen to the Raspberry Pi 4. The photo shows "eth1:" connected to my 802.3at switch. The adapter can accept up to 90 W of PoE and convert it to 60-W output over USB-C, which means it can power most cameras, laptops, tablets, small PCs, smart monitors, information kiosks, and other devices using USB-C for input power. In many cases today, a USB Type-C port is the only input power option for these devices. The GAT-USBC splitter is active/802.3at, so it will require power from a POE source to pass data through. Data is then "split" on to the female RJ45 output, not the USB-C connection. I tested the device on a Dell XPS 15 7590 laptop running Debian with the KDE Plasma desktop. The screenshots show that the Microchip device provides both power and network connectivity.
The PD-USB-DP60 adapter enables flexible installation of USB-C devices, removes the need for a close power outlet and resolves the issue of limitedUSB cable length. The PoE source can be up to 328 ft/100m from the location of the USB-C device. A single Ethernet cable is needed while delivering up to60W of USB power at the output of the adapter. No, the output female RJ45 port only provides data out, not power. Power is only provided on the female USB-C output.Does the RJ45 output also have POE power? I'm looking to power both a Nest IQ and a smaller POE camera at the same time. I am looking for something that i can use to power Google WiFi on a Ceiling where no plug is available. looks like your product will do it. Presently have a 802.3.at powered access point installed and want to replace it with Google WiFi. Google WiFi needs a lan connection and a USB-C for power since it is not PoE. Will your product accomplish this? No, the GAT-USBC is not compatible for power with the Nest Hello doorbell. The doorbell requires AC power. Although the cable is short, it has a thumbscrew on one end to keep it inserted into the Microchip device and an indicator light on the connector at the other end to show an active power connection. Claiming the highest power capability, the adapter converts both power and data while offering up to 60 W USB output power via an Ethernet cable up to 328 ft./100 meters from the location of the USB-C device. This is in comparison to most adapters in the market that provide only power up to 25 W, said Microchip.
As my TP-LINK switch only provides a maximum of 30W per port, which is less than the Dell needs to maintain full battery charge, a warning message is seen. Hi, we have the GAT-USBC-PD-V3 that supports 10/100/1000 gigabit data and power over USBC cable. This is compatible with an IEEE 802.3at rated switch or injector. My testing suggested to me that, connected to an 802.3bt switch or PoE injector, the Micochip device would be able to power a small PC or laptop and this was confirmed by fellow RoadTester Gough Lui, who bought a suitable PoE injector. Even though my switch had insufficient power to meet the PCs' needs, the Microchip adapter did provide both laptops with a wired network connection which they wouldn't otherwise have, in the absence of an RJ45 port. The adapter is compatible with USB 2.0 and 3.1 and automatically provides the exact amount of power to theend device. It’s also plug and play, so no configuration is needed. The marketing materials for the Microchip PoE to USB-C Power and Data Adapter suggest very clearly that it is intended to allow a "kiosk PC" to be operated from a single PoE-enabled network cable. By "kiosk PC", I think they mean the sort of small, low-powered PC, such as an Intel NUC that is used in information kiosks (often with a touch-screen) in public places. Normally those devices would need a power connection and also a network or Internet connection. Long network cables are relatively low-cost and would allow the kisok PC to be up to 100m or 328ft from the network switch. In contrast, USB-C cables can only be a few (<4) metres in length if used to transmit data, so the Microchip PoE to USB-C Power and Data Adapter would allow such a kiosk to be installed in relatively remote locations where there is no easy access to mains power.We designed the GAT-USBC-REV2 specifically to be compatible with the Apple iPad Pro 12.9" profile for fast charging at 15 volts. However, it works to negotiate up to 25 watts* of USB Type C power to other USB-C devices like Nestcam Outdoor, Google WiFi Mesh Router and more.
What is it - A UCTRONICS PoE splitter to split the PoE signal into 5V USB-C power supply and gigabit Ethernet in RJ45 so that non-PoE devices can be powered over Ethernet.Yes, using the GAT-USBC splitter with your Netgear GS305P will work to provide the required 5 volts, 9 watts to your Google Wifi.
Is it possible to use a Netgear GS305P to run two Google Wi-Fi units off two of your GAT-USBC splitters? Looks like a good product.

Microchip Technology Inc.has introduced a power over Ethernet (PoE) to USB-C adapter, solving the issue of limited USB cable length and the need for a nearby power outlet. The PoE to USB-C adapter, PD-USB-DP60, connects IoT devices with a USB-C connector over PoE, leveraging the benefits of both PoE and USB-C technologies. In terms of network connectivity, the LAN7800 USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter was recognised as a Gigabit network adapter. Power-over-Ethernet ("PoE") is a networking feature defined by the IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt standards. PoE lets Ethernet cables supply power to network devices over the existing data connection.
