Open-Source Hardware for Applications up to 7 W
The WIZPoE-P1 is a compact Power over Ethernet (PoE) module from WIZnet, designed for use in embedded and IoT applications that need reliable power and data transfer through a single cable. It complies with the IEEE 802.3af standard, providing power and communication via a single RJ-45 connector. This helps simplify wiring and installation.
Key benefits and specifications of the WIZPoE-P1:
- PoE standard: IEEE 802.3af
- Input voltage: 36 V – 57 V DC (typically 48 V)
- Output voltage: 5 V DC, regulated
- Max output: 2,4 A (max. 12 W)
- Integrated DC-DC converter: High-efficiency isolated flyback topology
- Operating Temperature: –40 to +85 °C
- Dimensions: 38 x 16 mm
- Protections: Overvoltage, overcurrent, thermal shutdown
The WIZPoE-P1 is designed to extract power from an Ethernet cable using a PoE PD interface and integrates a feedback-based DC-DC converter that delivers a stable 5 V DC output.
Powering a wide range of 5 V devices with ease
- WIZnet Ethernet modules (e.g., W5500, W6100)
- Microcontrollers (e.g., STM32, AVR, ESP32)
- Sensors and actuators
- IP cameras and remote monitoring devices
| The module's isolation barrier ensures electrical separation between the Ethernet input and the DC power output. This protects sensitive digital components and helps maintain operational safety, particularly in industrial settings. |
Simple integration into existing systems
The WIZPoE-P1 has been developed with ease of integration in mind. Its plug-and-play design and compliance with standard protocols make it a practical solution for both new and existing systems. Simply connect the Ethernet cable to the input and the 5 V output to your device. No need for external PoE controllers or voltage regulators.
Its compact footprint is well suited to applications with limited PCB space. It also eliminates the need for external integrated PoE controller ICs and power regulators, simplifying the overall hardware design.
"WIZnet’s WIZPoE-P1 is a cost-effective PoE module that removes the need for an external power supply. Thanks to its stable 5 V DC output, wide input voltage range, and industrial-grade temperature tolerance, it’s a reliable choice for a broad range of use cases, from early prototypes to full production. Its flexible integration options and user-friendly design make it especially attractive for developers looking to implement PoE in embedded systems," said Pavel Kováč, Product Manager at SOS electronic.
Where and why to use the WIZPoE-P1:
- IoT nodes: Simplifies deployment of remote sensors and actuators by combining power and data in a single cable
- Home and industrial automation: Reduces cabling in smart building systems.
- Security and surveillance: Powers IP cameras or control units
- Smart metering and remote terminals: Operates where no dedicated power source is available
