The DIGITUS Passive PoE Cable Set DN-95001 simplifies the installation of network devices by combining power and data transmission over a single cable. The set consists of an injector-PSE cable and a splitter-PD cable, each equipped with RJ45 connectors and DC sockets/plugs. The cables feature PVC jacketing and are finished in white. The pin assignment is defined for data transmission on conductors 1/2/3/6, while power supply is delivered via conductors 4/5/7/8. This configuration enables the use of passive PoE, where power supply is not provided via standardized PoE norms but depends on an external power supply. The maximum data transfer rate is 10/100 Mbit/s, corresponding to the Fast Ethernet standard. The cable set is designed for use with 5.5 mm DC plugs, which represent a standard size for many network devices.

Applications
It enables the connection between a network device (as PD, Power Device) and a power supply device (as PSE, Power Sourcing Equipment) via a single cable. Use is limited to non-industrial environments, as no specific protection requirements for industrial operating environments are specified.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The set includes two cables: the injector-PSE cable, which connects to the network side and injects power into the network cable, and the splitter-PD cable, which connects to the end device and draws power from the data cable. Both cables are fitted with RJ45 connectors, with the injector cable additionally featuring a DC socket and the splitter cable a DC plug. The pin assignment is clearly defined: data transmission occurs via pins 1/2/3/6, while power supply is via 4/5/7/8. The PVC jacketing provides mechanical stability and protection against external influences.

Technology Explained Simply
Passive PoE means that power supply is not delivered via standardized protocols such as IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at, but is provided by an external power supply. Power is transmitted via conductors not used for data transmission (4/5/7/8), while data transmission occurs via conductors 1/2/3/6. The maximum data transfer rate of 10/100 Mbit/s corresponds to the Fast Ethernet standard and is sufficient for many surveillance and communication applications.

Compatibility and Accessories
The cable set is compatible with devices using a 5.5 mm DC plug and requiring a passive PoE connection. It is not intended for devices requiring standardized PoE norms (such as IEEE 802.3af/at). Use is in conjunction with an external power supply, whose output power must meet the requirements of the end device.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by connecting the injector-PSE cable between the network device (e.g. switch) and the splitter-PD cable, which connects to the end device. Power supply is connected via the DC socket of the injector cable to the external power supply. Wiring follows the defined pin assignments, with both data transmission and power supply occurring over a single cable. The cables are designed for easy handling, with the PVC jacketing providing mechanical stability.

Operational Advantages
The combination of power and data transmission in one cable reduces the number of required cabling connections and simplifies installation. This is particularly advantageous when setting up network devices in areas where no direct power supply is available. The use of passive PoE enables a cost-effective solution, as no special PoE switches are required. The maximum length of up to 5 meters (implied) is sufficient for many typical application scenarios in offices or small networks.
