Not yet added to the webshop so I'll drop you an email with further details ...

Would a regular 1to2 RJ45 coupler work or do I need a special product because I am splitting a PoE cable? The reason I ask is that I need to install 2 PoE devices next to each other in a location that has one CAT5 cable going to it. It would be extremely difficult (if not impossible) to run a second CAT5 cable back to my PoE switch and I was hoping I could simply 'share' the one connection. I believe that the power and the bandwidth should be adequate to support both devices (a Mobotix Camera and ExtIO device - the ExtIO device can be connected directly to some of the cameras therefore using the same power / bandwidth as I am proposing - only the model I have does not accommodate this and requires its own CAT5 connection). I have scoured the net but every time I search using 'splitter' I find discussions / products of this nature (ie separating out the power and network connection) which is not what i am after! Any answers very gratefully received! Nick Can one CAT5 cable with PoE be split to connect 2 separate PoE devices?
