24Vdc @ 0.875A (20 Watt) Splitter
Installation Guide
Purpose of this Guide
This Guide provides information and procedures for the product installation and operation of the PoE
24Vdc Splitter (LP-4824). This document is intended for technical personnel responsible for installing and
operating Power over Ethernet products in a Local Area Network (LAN) environment. To use this document
effectively, you should have a working knowledge of Local Area Networking (LAN) concepts and hardware
installation. In addition, you should be familiar with the following: Connection of Patch Cables with RJ45
connectors and the LAN addressing map for your particular Network, Mounting of Network hardware in a
19” equipment rack and local practices for power cord connections.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FROM LAN-Power

Verifying Contents of Package
- Unpack the PoE Injector and verify that you have the
following item: LP-4824 Power over Ethernet 24Vdc Splitter
Technical Considerations
-
Before you mount the Splitter to a fixed location, consider all of the following:
Determine optimal placement, checking all cable paths and routing. Collect and document Network
information as required.
Notes:
1.) The Splitter is not a repeater and does not amplify the Ethernet data
signal. Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet Network Switch to the Powered End device does not
exceed 328 feet/100 meters total length. 2.) The Splitter must be used in conjunction with a PoE compliant
PSE (Power Supply Equipment) such as a PoE Midspan Injector with a
Minimum Output of 25 Watts
to
achieve full power output of 24Vdc @ 0.875Amps (20 Watts) from the LP-4824 Splitter.
